Health Project Officer (Occupational Therapist/Physiotherapist) , Bunj – Maban County – Upper Nile State


HI has been working in South Sudan since 2005 in emergency in Jonglei state and then developed longer term activities up to now, mainly on rehabilitation, advocacy, and victim assistance, in Jonglei State and Juba.
Given the persisting crisis in Unity and Upper Nile States evolving since beginning of 2012, the HI Emergency Response Department (ERD) decided to conduct an assessment in regards with refugees’ health conditions and their specific needs. The assessment was coordinated by an evaluator deployed by the ERD in liaison with HI Development Program Director in South Sudan, and took place from 1st to 19th July 2012. Due to logistical constraints, the assessment team concentrated its efforts in Maban (however Bentiu, Unity, was visited), where the mission will start.
Considering HI’s mandate in emergency, as well as analyzed needs coverage by other actors, the assessment focused consequently more particularly on health issues, as well as on existing vulnerability analysis and identification mechanisms.
The assessment diagnosis quickly confirmed the pre-identified issues raised and revealed additional ones, summarized here below. Though the humanitarian presence and identification mechanisms have been respectively increased and improved since the beginning of the Blue Nile refugees influx, no specialized agency is currently acting in the field of disability neither trough health or protection actions. Question marks are still significantly reported by key stakeholders about the most vulnerable persons, including persons with social, physical, mental and sensorial disabilities. Similarly and consequently, even though improvements and new assessments are being done since the last waves of arrivals (until July 2012), assistance still has to be provided quickly and with few possible adaptations related to specific needs, that are however also life-saving and/or protection connected.
Emergency Response Division Strategy overview : In terms of strategic planning, given the current emergency, HI wishes to initiate an action with the immediate objective to prevent and reduce specific critical health complications, and to improve the copying conditions of the most vulnerable conflict affected population. Based on the present regional conflict’s characteristics (political and economical), stakeholders concur to state that refugees from Blue Nile are not expected to come back before minimum 6 months, up to several years.
Afterwards, taking into account this observation, HI is willing to maintain its humanitarian effort eventually until the return of refugees, to be able to bring its added-value until that potential stage.
Under our Emergency Response Division, the expatriate will be responsible to:
  • Integrating the global health care response (especially in coordination with MSF and Samaritan’s Purse’s ones) by proposing immediate care towards refugees at risk of developing permanent impairments and/or developmental delays:
  • Identifying and assessing malnourished children at risk of developing intellectual, motor and/or behavioral delays
  • Providing prevention sessions, psychomotor stimulation and psychosocial support activities to mitigate risk of future impairments and/or developmental delays at community level.
  • Chest physiotherapy at MSF clinics towards children and adults suffering from Upper Track Respiratory Infections.
  • Physiotherapy at MSF clinics towards children and adults with injuries (traumas).
  • Physiotherapy at Bunj County Hospital (collaboration with Samaritan’s Purse)
