HEALTH CLUSTER PAKISTAN Crisis in NWFP WEEKLY BULLETIN No HEALTH CLUSTER PAKISTAN Crisis in NWFP WEEKLY BULLETIN No 12 9 September 2009 HIGHLIGHTS • The IDP return process continues. Health Cluster partners are moving forward with health interventions in the districts of Swat, Buner, Lower Dir and Upper Dir while continuing to support IDPs who remain in the camps. To date, a total of 235 159 families have returned to their respective districts. (Source: PDMA/PaRRSA.) • The latest data from the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) show there has been an influx of returnees in Waziristan. A total of 17 375 families, including 8281 in D.I. Khan District and 2756 in Tank District, have registered. Maternal, neonatal and and child health remains a priority among health interventions in NWFP • An assessment of health facilities in D.I. Khan was completed on 28 August. The report is being finalized and will be shared shortly. An assessment of health facilities in Swat district will begin on 13 September. • Between 22 and 28 August, a total of 69 892 consultations were reported from 226 disease surveillance sentinel sites in NWFP. This represents a 7% decrease compared to the number of consultations registered the previous week. • Seventeen DEWS sites reported 546 antenatal visits between 22 and 28 August. Data from UNFPA’s seven maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) care service delivery points in Lower Dir, Nowshera, Charsadda and Mardan districts showed an overall 16% increase in patient consultations in government and in-camp health facilities. However, postnatal consultations decreased from 48 to 35, and deliveries dropped from 18 to 10 at MNCH clinics. These variations in caseload are due to people returning to their home districts during Ramadan and to the increasing number of returnees. • Eleven out of 34 water samples taken from IDP-hosting districts of Swabi, Mardan, Peshawar and Nowshera tested positive for faecal coliform contamination. Eighteen out of a second batch of 27 samples tested positive for residual chlorine. The Health Cluster took remedial action, together with WASH partners. ASSESSMENT • In Swat District, 17 out of 75 health facilities are non-functional as a result of the conflict. These include 13 BHUs, 3 CDs and 1 RHC. Five health facilities are completely destroyed and 21 are partially damaged. (Source: EDO Health.) MNCH/RH/FP • Seventeen DEWS sites reported 546 antenatal visits between 22 and 28 August.

The number of consultations dropped by 4868, representing a decrease of 7% compared to the number of consultations registered the previous week.

This study focused on five major ethnic groups (Gujars, Jadoons, Syeds, Tanolis, and Yousafzais) of Buner and Swabi Districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, through investigations of variations in morphological traits of the permanent tooth crown, and by molecular anthropology based on mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA analyses. The frequencies of seven dental traits, of the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) were scored as 17 tooth- trait combinations for each sample, encompassing a total sample size of 688 individuals. These data were compared to data collected in an identical fashion among samples of prehistoric inhabitants of the Indus Valley, southern Central Asia, and west-central peninsular India, as well as to samples of living members of ethnic groups from Abbottabad, Chitral, Haripur, and Mansehra Districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and to samples of living members of ethnic groups residing in Gilgit-Baltistan.
