RECOMMENDATIONS
• An evaluation into the effective area of coverage of the 4 TFCs in the city would assist
in defining the future need for 4 TFCs in the city given the comparatively low rate of
malnutrition found.
• Active case finding and screening should be increased to ensure the early reference of
the severely malnourished to the TFC.
• At a minimum, a further nutritional survey should be undertaken on the same
population in November 2000 – before the next Cholera outbreak. In addition, it
would be useful to perform a survey on the Resident population of the town if at all
possible.
• Access to, knowledge of, and the quantity of free simple medical assistance (Health
Posts, ORS points etc.) needs to be increased.
• Evaluate, strongly supervise and if necessary re-orientate Health Education Activities.
• Increase supervision of Vaccination activities.
• Perform regular statistically viable surveys of the vaccination coverage and mortality
on a two monthly basis.
• Improve supervision of Health Education activities and evaluate the impact of the
Health Education given.
• The system of the collection of information about the movements of population into
the city of Mogadishu should be reviewed.
• The use of the 125mm cut – off point with the muac to indicate Global Acute
Malnutrition should be studied further in a maximum of Anthropometrical Nutrition
Surveys.
