Workshop for rapid assessment of health condition
in affected areas organized
Skopje, October 4th, 2001
A one-day workshop named "Rapid assessment of health
condition in affected areas", organized by the Ministry of health
and World Health Organization took place yesterday. The workshop was lead
by Ph.D. Eric Doneli from Geneve. Representatives of health institutions
in Skopje, Kumanovo and Tetovo took part in the seminar. Other international
and non-government organizations were present, too: WHO, ICRC, UNICEF,
Arte International, American Red Cross, as well as domestic MCIC and El
Hilal.
In the morning session purposes and preparing for rapid assessment of
health condition, planning and carrying out of assessment and presentation
of results were discussed. Representatives of health institutions were
separated in three groups (Skopje, Tetovo and Kumanovo) where already
gathered information, analysis of available human resources and logistics
for implementation of fast assessment were shared. In the afternoon session,
representatives of health institutions filled the standard questionnaire
of WHO and contributed with their remarks.
Owing to restricted access to some regions, with help of some domestic
NGOs who already are present on the terrain, assessment of conditions
of the health will be made possible. Teams will assess the institutions
and services of primary health protection in medical centers/health centers
and ambulanta. Assessment will be made in Skopje region (46 objects),
Tetovo (31) and Kumanovo(21) in Friday, Monday and Tuesday.
Macedonian Center for International Cooperation will enable for a team
of Kumanovo medical center to be able to make assessment of villages in
Lipkovo region (Nikushtak, lipkovo, Slupchane, Matejche and Lojane). El
Hilal and medical workers in Skopje will visit villages in Skopje, while
ICRC, along with teams from Tetovo Medical Center will make assessments
