HEALTH & EMERGENCY HEALTH CARE

WE’RE WORKING TO ENSURE ALL CHILDREN HAVE A HEALTHY
START IN LIFE

We’ve seen real progress in helping children survive their first few years of life. And yet, Shocking numbers of children are dying from illnesses that are entirely preventable. Millions of children still lack basics like safe water, food, and clean air. Every year, 5 million children still die needlessly before their fifth birthday. A global hunger emergency is growing with another 45 million children under five facing severe, potentially fatal, malnutrition.

We know that marginalized children are the most vulnerable as they lack access to quality healthcare, such as vaccines, medicines, or nutrients – all of which save lives. This is especially true in conflict and emergencies, or in poor and deprived areas. We know that girls and women often lack access to care or information during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. They can also struggle to access health services or be denied an education that would protect them from unwanted pregnancies.

HOW WE WORK TO ENSURE
EVERY CHILD AND MOTHER MAINTIANS
A GOOD HEALTH

We are working with governments and our partners to keep children and mothers healthy and safe throughout pregnancy and birth, with the nutrition and medical care they need and thrive.

Every day, our teams are saving lives and delivering healthcare in some of the toughest and hardest-to-reach places – whether in war zones or remote villages. Shield Refugee Initiative’s Emergency Health Unit has the right people, in the right places, ready to save lives

We're providing girls and mothers with information on sexual and reproductive health so they know their rights and can plan for their new births. We provide reproductive health services with emphasis on CS healing which according to our latest research has led to complications for young mothers in recent years.

We’re making sure mothers and newborns get good nutrition and healthcare throughout pregnancy and birth and beyond. We're working to ensure children can access good nutrition, so no child goes hungry either through our own programs or via partners.

We’re helping communities prepare for future climate shocks, pandemics and diseases and ensuring they can cope when disaster strikes through information distribution and psychosocial support as well as engaging local emergency disaster rescue teams.
We also work with local and national governments to strengthen policies and systems so as to reach those in need of aid.
