Primary Health Care Delivery Models in Conflict Settings of Cameroon and Nigeria
Primary Health Care Landscape in Conflict Settings and Choices of Delivery Models in North West and South West Regions of Cameroon and North East Nigeria
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
There is sparse evidence to guide the selection and design of primary health care (PHC) services that improves and maintains quality care in humanitarian settings. The Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon, and Northeast Nigeria have protracted humanitarian crises. Various models of PHC are used in these settings; ensuring quality of PHC models of care is essential to improve health outcomes. We aim to explore how PHC models are selected by humanitarian organizations and through stakeholder engagement design a toolkit for evaluation of quality in PHC care delivery across different models.
The specific objectives of the study are;
- To map different primary health care delivery models used by public, private and humanitarian organization in the conflict affected settings of NWSW Cameroon and North East Nigeria by conducting a mapping survey
- To explore the factors influencing the selection of primary health care delivery models used by humanitarian organizations to guide the selection of models of care and strengthening of programming efforts in conflict settings by conducting an exploratory qualitative study
- To determine the coverage and gaps in services across the different PHC models to develop a pilot questionnaire to evaluate quality in conflict settings by conducting an exploratory qualitative study
The humanitarian crisis in North West and South West regions of Cameroon and North East Nigeria, has led to the closure of 269/933 and 617/2367 health facilities respectively with over 2.21 million IDPs and 350,000 returnees(2, 3), creating a huge gap in the availability and accessibility of health services to affected communities. The need to conduct this study becomes even more pertinent to inform program developers and donors on key considerations to make before using different models of care, and how quality can be improved to foster sustainability

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of quality oversight toolkit developed
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Following the development of a framework to inform the selection of models of care, an "oversight toolkit" for selecting models of care and monitoring a pragmatic set of quality interventions (QI) will be developed.
The toolkit will include a composite score drawing from scores across all domains.
This will be used to give an overall assessment score of quality.
