At the forefront of CICA’s health initiatives are its primary healthcare centers. These facilities offer routine medical check-ups, vaccinations, maternal and child health services, and general medical consultations, ensuring communities have consistent access to basic healthcare.

Malnutrition, especially among children and pregnant women, is a critical concern. CICA’s nutrition programs focus on providing essential nutrients through fortified foods, supplements, and educational sessions about balanced diets and healthy eating habits.

Recognizing that not all communities can access fixed health centers, CICA has established Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams. These teams, equipped with essential medical supplies, travel to remote or conflict-affected areas, providing medical consultations, nutrition screenings, and essential treatments on the spot. MHNTs play a crucial role in ensuring that even the most hard-to-reach populations receive healthcare.

In the wake of natural disasters, conflicts, or disease outbreaks, CICA’s emergency health services swing into action. This can involve setting up temporary health clinics, providing first aid, distributing essential medicines, and offering trauma care. The rapid response capability ensures that health crises are addressed immediately, minimizing the risk of disease spread and complications.

Beyond direct healthcare services, CICA places significant emphasis on health education. Workshops, campaigns, and community sessions are regularly conducted to raise awareness about prevalent health issues, preventive measures, and the importance of hygiene and sanitation in maintaining good health.

Acknowledging the mental toll of living in conflict-affected or disaster-stricken areas, CICA offers psychosocial support and counseling services. These services help individuals cope with trauma, stress, and grief, promoting mental well-being alongside physical health.

CICA often collaborates with local health departments, international health organizations, and other NGOs. These partnerships enhance the reach and efficacy of health and nutrition programs, ensuring that best practices are adopted and resources are optimally utilized.

CICA’s health and nutrition initiatives are comprehensive, catering to both immediate medical needs and long-term health outcomes. Whether through Mobile Health Teams reaching remote areas or emergency services responding to crises, CICA’s endeavors in the health sector have been instrumental in safeguarding and improving the well-being of countless individuals.
