RELIEF AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS o Excavation project, cleared ~ 20 miles of roadways. o USD10,000 was transferred to al-Khidmat Foundation to establish a Women and Children’s health center in Layyah, Punjab o Collaboration: al-Khidmat, PIMA, and Pakistan Kidney Institute (Dr. Saeed Akther) o PIMA similarly completed the following projects in collaboration with IMANA: - Purchased medical supplies and equipment for field hospitals. - Established 5 IDP camps in conjunction with PKI accommodating 14,000. - Established 2 diarrhea centers in Sukkur in collaboration with WHO and (Pakistan Kidney Institute) PKI. o Dera Gazi Foundation (DF): - Operating 7 basic health units (BHU), six of them in Rajunpur and one in Dera Ghazi Khan. The BHUs served approximately 90,000 patients. Each BHU was fully staffed with a doctor and local pharmacy tech and ancillary staff. - Dera Ghazi Khan BHUs remained operational, seeing 100-150 patients per day. In Dera Ghazi Khan there are 2 vocational training centers for women. o The last current project: The installation of water pumps. A total of 1,000 water pumps installed throughout villages in the affected areas. Each water pump has the PKI/IMANA logo on it. Lessons and Concerns: With all PIMA/FIMA major relief involvements and achievements, there were several deficiencies and handicaps during these recent relief undertakings, that need proper efforts and preparedness: The following are some of the main concerns: • Lack of proper information about disastersrelated issues, local conditions and local culture, among some international relief NGOs. • Lack of education, training of relief providers and perpetual drills. • Lack of coordinated activities among various relief NGOs. • Resources from Pakistani nationals from all over the world, although generous, were used in a scattered manner without much coordination and cooperation. Horizons ahead: Prediction of disasters and reduction of their impact by proper preparedness are the mainstay of disaster management 6-9 . PIMA, with a holistic and multidisciplinary relief approach, has been always struggling to be functional in line with the main guidelines and standards of disaster management. The way forward, however, awaits more quality actions to increase efficiency and effectiveness of disaster emergency response and preparedness at community, national and international levels. The following recognized guidelines represent horizons to strive for by PIMA, FIMA and other relief organizations: • Sound and well coordinated warning system is required for all sorts of calamities. • Disaster prediction and preparedness mechanism at national, provincial and city levels needs to be introduced. • Regular training workshops on disaster management for medical and other workers. • Prepare a list of volunteers ready to leave their normal work place in minimum possible period to extend services to minimize the effect of disaster. • Training of these volunteers and periodic exercises to deal with emergency situations in a scientific way. • Medical relief and rehabilitation must be part of continuing Medical education (CME) FIMA YearBook 2010-2011 116
RELIEF AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS programs for all categories of health professionals. • Set up a disaster response centers and teams at national, provincial and district levels. • Coordination between all relief organizations (including NGOs and governmental organizations) through coordination centers. • Senior professionals, specially doctors, must be ready to respond immediately in disaster situations. • Extend helping hands, financial and material resources to other nations and countries when deemed necessary. • Some resources must be in reserve for unforeseen situations and disasters. Every medical institution and health care unit must allocate reasonable percentage of human and material resources for this purpose. • Every doctor must be educated that humanitarian / relief work is the most rewarding and noble work one can provide. • Disaster management system must be included in the curricula of various university programs especially in every medical and nursing schools. • Continuous upgrading of disaster management tools are required through continuous research and innovations. • Regular drills are required to be conducted at all levels. Special efforts are required for training and regular exercises for medical relief workers. • Relief and rescue departments must develop coordination plans at all levels and with all sorts of relief bodies including NGOs and public sector organizations. • All relief activities must be channeled effectively to reduce the pilferage and loss of valuable resources. Some of these recommendations have already been incorporated by National Disaster Management Coordination Office. Still more needs to be included and many more needs to be developed in the future.
