Action is directed towards a population of about 170,000 inhabitants who had never had any contacts with humanitarian aid before. Two PHC centres were finalized in Nyal, and 8 PHC-Units were started in Pathiel, Gakal, Lualy, Bilcier, Bilbar, Mjak, Tharbar, Youb. Several wells and latrines were built, and "committees for village health co-ordination" were set up within the project framework. Training courses are regularly organized for primary health care staff. Visits are now settled at 1,100 patients per month in the PHC Centre in Nyal and an average of 600 patients for each of the PHC Units. Activities include the prevention programme named "Guinea worm eradication programme" realised in collaboration with the Carter Centre.
More recently, after an assessment on the nutritional status of the under five years old children, a supplementary feeding programme was started in collaboration with UNICEF-OLS.
