Background :
In response to the
earthquake in Azad Jammu & Kashmir along the Indian border of October 2005
with particular devastating damage to the majority of health facilities in the
hit area of the districts Muzaffarabad, Poonch and Bagh, the German Government
has offered a grant of 22 m Euro for the reconstruction of health facilities
and technical assistance to health planning in AJK.
The project is implemented in coordination with the parallel TC activities as
well as the reconstruction efforts of other donors and the Pakistani
authorities. Three health facilities in the districts of Muzaffarabad and Bagh
(Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences, District Headquarter Hospital Bagh and
Tehsil Hospital Kahutta) are selected for reconstruction. The AIMS in
Muzaffarabad is envisaged to develop into the major referral hospital of
AJ&K including secondary and tertiary care level provision. The
reconstruction of the hospitals in Bagh and Kahutta is mandatory after total
damage, since they serve huge populations in remote areas.
Alongside the reconstruction, a large training component for the health and administrative staff is being implemented, consisting of formal training in the dedicated "Theodor-Fliedner-Training Academy", on-site training and an exchange programme with the Städtische Kliniken Bilefeld.
Services Rendered :
- Management assistance in organisational issues of the
hospitals
- Reparation of tertiary care hospitals and technical
equipment consolidation

for the hospitals
