ICC’s Relief and Reconstruction (R&R) Department is implementing and overseing all reconstruction and relief efforts at Grace Children’s Hospital (GCH) and assisting the communities it services. Currently, the department is working on a project entitled "Grace Children’s Hospital and lower Delmas Post Quake Emergency Health Project." This project is comprised of many activities that are geared toward reconstructing the hospital, servicing inpatients/outpatients as well as assisting homeless ICC staff and 60,000 displaced people living in 13 slums around GCH.
Here are a few of the project activities that the R&R department will be implementing over the next 12 months :
- Construct temporary facilities for serving children admitted to Grace Children’s Hospital.
- Purchase 12 months’ worth of drugs and medical supplies.
- Carry out contact tracing of active TB/HIV patients including screening for residents in tent communities.
- Conduct 200 outpatient paediatric clinics at GCH.
- Conduct 720 vaccination posts, 20 of which will be used as oral rehydration posts for distribution of water purification supplies.
We will provide more updates as we receive them.
