PUI’s intervention is structured around two pillars: supporting the resilience of the healthcare system and emergency response through the deployment of mobile clinics. These projects, supported by the CDCS, ECHO and the Humanitarian Fund, are part of an integrated approach: PUI supports the provision of primary and secondary healthcare in the supported health centers, rehabilitates water points, manages malnutrition and referrals of emergencies to the secondary level, and provides food assistance. PUI works on several projects with a national partner and an international partner.
