ICMC has completed first assessments of the needs of flood affected communities in Charsadda District, including large numbers of Afghan refugees and conflict affected IDPs. Serving IDPs in Pakistan since 1998, ICMC’s emergency flood assistance is responding to their immediate medical and hygiene needs. Experienced ICMC medical staff are providing individualized consultations in UC Prango, distributing medications, while also developing referral protocols and coordinating primary health care response with government hospitals, health centres, private clinics and dispensaries. ICMC continues to asses needs in real time, and hopes to provide assistance through interventions in the areas of water, sanitation and non-food items.
