high-impact health interventions in 24 priority countries with the ultimate goal of ending preventable child and maternal deaths (EPCMD) within a generation. The Maternal and Child Survival Program engages governments, policymakers, private sector leaders, health care providers, civil society, faith-based organizations and communities in adopting and accelerating proven approaches to address the major causes of maternal, newborn and child mortality such as postpartum hemorrhage, birth asphyxia and diarrhea, respectively, and improve the quality of health services from household to hospital. In order the contribute to the response to the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) epidemic in Guinea and the severe effects on health services, including increased risks for healthcare providers, MCSP was requested to develop and implement several projects to reinforce Infection Prevention and Control in healthcare facilities and to assist the MOH to restore confidence in and use of health services. This report presents the Restoration of Health Services (RHS) project, which operated from July 2015 to December 2016 and was designed to address the second order impacts of the EVD epidemic in Guinea (Pillar 2), specifically the restoration of critical non-Ebola health services. The project was funded with resources from the Ebola Response and Preparedness Fund, and the support of the Global Health Ebola Team (GHET). Interventions were concentrated on geographic areas most impacted by the EVD epidemic. These impacts include high numbers of EVD cases and deaths, loss of healthcare workers to EVD, transfers and mobilization for the EVD response; and dramatic reductions in health service utilization for routine prevention and

  • Improving Sustainable Water Access in Rural Communities in Guinea
    © CEAD 2016 IMPROVING SUSTAINABLE WATER ACCESS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES IN GUINEA OCTOBER 2018 Overview The Ebola outbreak of 2014-2016 highlighted the need to strengthen water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) health-related preventive measures at all levels in Guinea. Safe drinking water and adequate sanitation are essential for life and health. A sustainable supply of safe water, adequate sanitation and improved hygiene not only saves lives, but also has significant effects for girls and women, who bear primary responsibility for fetching water, which is often unclean and far from home. This daily chore exposes them to the potential risk of violence and can prevent girls from attending school. UNICEF believes that access to WASH goes far beyond health improvements, positively affecting areas such as human rights, girls’ education, gender relations and nutrition. In 2000, approximately 47 percent of the population in rural Guinea consumed contaminated water, further increasing the risk of communicable diseases; the success of the manual drilling project supported by your previous gift has helped bring that percentage down by 2015 to 32 percent.1 Still, rural communities remain poorly served with too few sources of safe water in areas that are too widely spaced apart. UNICEF estimates that at approximately 10,154 water points are required to meet to the country’s basic water supply needs. And although the number of people sharing a water point should only be 300, data collected by the national water service agency (Service National d’Aménagement des Points d’Eau, or SNAPE) shows that an average of 1,500 people in fact share the same water point.
