Annual Report of the Department of Health 2010 - Unrwa

The Child Health Care (CHC) was developed and piloted at Nuzha Health Clinic in Jordan first. Accordingly, the refined CHC was deployed
at 3 Health clinics in Lebanon and rolled out to five Health clinics in Lebanon. The implementation of this system package is facing the same
challenges faced during NCD deployment.
The NCD system package users have the ability to generate the standard reports and assessments for any desirable period and location.
The child health module automates the process needed to examine the new born babies and follow up on child growth and development
according to the latest WHO standards in order to detect timely any deviation from normality; moreover it will record and follow up with
identified disabilities among screened children. This system package also records the child’s immunizations and detects any delays according
to a predefined schedule. It includes a simple workflow for child’s curative process until the medicines are dispensed automatically by
the pharmacist. It also generates many daily and statistical reports.
During summer, 2010, the maternal health sub-package was developed and is being piloted at the Jordan pilot health clinic in Nuzha. This
sub-package consists of five modules that automates the process needed for women preconception health care, ante-natal care including
details of all midwifes’ and doctors’ visits with special alerts, post-natal care including registration of new deliveries and family planning with
tracking of used methods. It also includes a simple workflow for women’s curative process until the medicines are dispensed automatically
by the pharmacist. It generates standard daily and statistical reports.
The project is planned to continue in its phase III in 2011 provided that additional funding is procured.
