Description

Summary

Save the Children’s newly established Emergency Health Unit (EHU) is designed to enhance and expand Save the Children’s life-saving work in acute emergencies, including disease outbreaks, with a focus on frontline health, nutrition and WASH programming. The EHU initiates direct health response within 72 hours of a declared emergency, creating the space for in-country response teams to focus on longer term response planning and scale-up. Responses will be based on Save the Children’s core public health approach covering the biggest childhood killers, including public health outreach coupled with direct clinical care, and including both primary and secondary health.



EHU programming will increase the early impact of Save the Children responses, saving more children’s lives and increasing donor confidence to raise funds for immediate and longer term work. The EHU aims to reach at least 1.5 million people directly and leverage $100m during the period of Save the Children’s new strategy (2016-18).
