Migration Health Unit2021 | Quarter 2 Report
In the reporting period, IOM South Sudan’s migration health unit (MHU) has continued with the provision of life saving health care services to vulnerable populations including IDPs, returnees, conflict affected host and flood affected communities in Upper Nile, Unity, Jonglei and Western Bahr El Ghazal states. IOM supported 22 health facilities through the provision of primary health care and routine immunization services in static and mobile/outreach intervention in Malakal, Wau and Rubkona counties.
During Q2, IOM MHU reached 226,333 beneficiaries in need through operations of static and mobile clinics.
Respiratory infection, Malaria and Acute watery diarrhoea constituted a cumulative total of 59% of all causes of morbidity with each contributing 35%, 14% and 10% respectively. There has been an increase in upper respiratory tract infection, Malaria and acute watery diarrhoea from the EPI week 21 to 26 (23rd May to 3rd July) in all locations. This could be attributed to the start of the rainy season and limited vector control interventions in the communities.

Health Emergency Response through deployment of Rapid Response Teams
IOM vaccinated 16,076 (8,217 men, and 7,859 women) children for BCG, Penatvalent, IPV and measles vaccines under routine immunization programme.
This number doesn’t include the OPV 1-3 vaccination in order to avoid double counting of children vaccinated.
On 29 June, IOM Health Rapid Response Teams (HRRT) were deployed to Akobo. Akobo is one of the 6 IPC 4 prioritized food insecure counties that have been identified for the scale up of all services including health.
IOM HRRT team is in constant coordination with the CHD, ROSS coordinator and executive director to establish one mobile health facility in Akobo West in addition to the already established static facility in Walgak. Data on number beneficiaries reached will be available in Q3 report.

IOM continued to support point of entry disease surveillance at the Nimule PoE where IOM is conducting COVID-19 screening of travellers at Nimule border land crossing. In this quarter, a total of 55,019 (<18M=2,570, <18F=2,350, >18M=37,554, >18F=12,545) travellers were screened for COVID-19.

Baby John receives care at Bam PHC IOM Clinic © IOM 2021 / Liatile PUTSOA
IOM continued chairing the weekly Emergency Responders Group in collaboration with Health Cluster to update partners about locations, population and response needs. IOM remains a member of the Health cluster Strategic Advisory Group (SAG).
Additionally, IOM continued to co-chair the PoE/Border Health Pillar of the COVID-19 National steering committee for Epidemic preparedness and response.
The Bam PHCC, run by IOM’s Health unit, sees approximately 1000 outpatients monthly. IOM also provides free health services at the clinic in the Malakal Protection of Civilians (PoC) site and other parts of Upper Nile State. IOM renovated the Bam health facility in September 2019/October 2020 after it became non-operational and dilapidated following the onset of conflict at the end of 2013. IOM’s Migration Health Unit (MHU) also trained Medical Assistants who work in the clinic.
Bam PHCC provides health services, including routine immunization activities. The outreach services targets
population in hard-to-reach locations for immunization and treatment of minor ailments. Nyaluok, the mother of baby John who got burnt, highlighted her appreciation of IOM for supporting the health facility to serve its population. Nyaluok said she tried to treat the burn wound at home because there was no health facility nearby. However, as days went by, the scarring got worse, and the wound became infected. Together with a close relative, they set off on foot and by boat – a day’s journey – to Bam Primary Health Centre Centre (PHCC), some 4 kilometers outside of Malakal town in South Sudan’s Upper Nile State.
