1) Introduction
This report provides analysis of the delivered assistance by international health sector partners to the MoH public health facilities in Libya, from January to July 2021.
A standardized template was designed and shared with sector partners to assess different types of interventions / provided assistance at health facility level including (assistance with Medicines, Consumables, Medical equipment, Rehabilitation, Capacity building support, assistance with mobile medical teams/fixed health posts, assessments, and any other type of support)
Out of a total 22 international health sector organization, 18 (82%) has participated in the assessment.
2) Nation-wide analysis
The following section provides analysis for the overall provided support by partners at a national level, and per specific categories of Health Facilities (i.e., Hospitals, Primary Health Centers, and other facilities).
Of note, the partner’s provided support is overlapping between facilities, same facility could receive more than one type of assistance by a partner, and multiple partners could provide assistance for the same facility (i.e., capacity building activities, donation of medicines…).
Based on the reported information, a total number of 361 public health facility has received direct assistance by different health sector partners, which represents 22% of the total public health facilities in Libya (1,656); Figure-1.
