PUI’s strategy/ position in the country

PUI priority is to improve or restore equitable access to quality health services as well as to water, sanitation and hygiene for the most vulnerable population living in cities located along the contact line in the Donetsk Oblast. PUI focus of provision of humanitarian aid to vulnerable population within the conflict-affected area employing complex approach strategy based on technical, medical and non-medical expertise.

Our action in the field:

Premiere Urgence Internationale opened its mission in Ukraine in the beginning of 2015 after identification of crucial humanitarian needs in Eastern Ukraine linked to the intensification of the military conflict. Thanks to CDC (Centre de Crise of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France) and ECHO funding’s, PUI has started to provide humanitarian assistance for the most vulnerable population in target cities of Kostiantynivka (GCA – Government-Controlled Area) and Horlivka (NGCA – Non-Government-Controlled Area) in April 2015. PUI provided aid on both sides of the conflict line in order to ensure neutrality and equity. The assistance aimed at improving healthcare for the most vulnerable population. The intervention included access to free medicines through a voucher system and medical prescriptions issued by doctors, provision of medical and non-medical equipment and consumables to health facilities, rehabilitation of the most life-saving wards of health facilities damaged by shelling, and provision of fresh food to canteens of health facilities in NGCA.

From August 1st 2016 to January 31st, 2017 with the funding of OFDA, PUI ran two first aid points (FAPs) located at the Exit-Entry Check Point (EECP – marking the separation between areas controlled by the Ukrainian Army and the separatists) of Mayorsk, providing first aid care and stabilization, followed by emergency call for ambulance when required for people crossing check points between government controlled areas and non-government controlled areas – both ways.

In November 2016, PUI opened two more first aid points (FAPs) at Mariinka and Novotroitske exit-entry check-points between GCA and NGCA. In October 2018, a similar intervention was launched at Hnutove checkpoint. These activities are supported by DG ECHO. Additionally, PUI began training primary healthcare doctors and nurses on the WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP), aimed at scaling up services for mental, neurological and substance use disorders.

Currently, PUI is running, for the 5th consecutive year, a project funded by ECHO (April 2019 to February 2020) with the same above components in GCA (Government-controlled area) and NGCA (Non-Governmental Controlled area) in Donetsk Oblast plus inclusion of supportive supervisions of Primary Health Care Facilities. PUI has developed new mechanisms to improve the quality of care in its areas of intervention through supportive supervision, support with fuel for transportation of patients and transitioning to an electronic voucher-for-health modality

With UNICEF support PUI is implementing a WASH project (April 2018 to August 2020) aiming at improving access to water and sanitation through rehabilitation of water supply infrastructures in Donetsk Oblast, at both city/community and institutions level. The activities include repairs/installations of pipes, boreholes, water towers/water tanks in 5 villages located in or close to the conflict area, rehabilitation of WASH infrastructures in 6 health facilities and 1 kindergarten, and distribution of water jerry cans to the local communities. Finally, CDCS supports the rehabilitation of WASH infrastructure and health and hygiene promotion activities.
