Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s large population of subsistence farmers makes the country extremely vulnerable to drought, especially as climate change creates greater extremes in weather.

The Health Cluster is supporting the provision of essential health services and supplies, referral and outreach services, routine immunization, emergency reproductive health care services to IDPs and other vulnerable groups. The Cluster also responds to medical complications related to the malnutrition and water borne diseases caused by Ethiopia's changing weather conditions and subsequent population displacement. The Health Cluster is supporting the public health surveillance, prevention and control of communicable disease outbreaks, such as cholera.

The information displayed here is updated in reference to the Health Cluster dashboard, in quarterly periods.
