Click here to donate to Volunteer Health Professionals Service Support Project (VHPSSP)
Volunteer Health Professionals Service Support Project (VHPSSP) is a project which has been implemented in Bahir Dar (Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital), Debre Berhan (Hakim Gizaw Hospital and Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital) in the last two years. Now it is going to be started in Mizan Aman (Mizan Tepi University Teaching Hospital). The project recruits newly graduated health professionals and assigns them to partner public healthcare providers. The volunteers will work full working hours with full professional responsibility as the staff of the institutions do. Project coordinators will supervise and control the volunteers.
This project has two major objectives. The first one is fulfilling the human resource shortage of Health providers through Volunteer health professionals. Our health professionals will serve as one of the staff of our client Health provider organization. Our Health professionals will serve as one of the staff of our client Health provider organization. It will increase the quality of healthcare service and decrease the queue of patients, mortality and morbidity caused by delays in health service. The second goal goes to the health professionals
themselves. Most Ethiopian employers request letters of experience as a requirement for their vacancies. These new graduates don’t have the required letter of experience. Therefore, they will be excluded from the job applications. CBO and the client’s Health provider will give a letter of experience for a volunteer health professional who served a minimum of four months in one of the client’s health providers. Therefore they will be competent for job applications.
In addition, whenever resources are available, the project provides a workplace lunch, transport allowance and skill training for the volunteers. Due to the limitation of resources most of our volunteers in the past have served without workplace lunch, transport allowance and skill training.
Your contribution will be used for transport allowance, workplace lunch expenses and skill training expenses for volunteer and project coordinators’ salaries and administrative costs of the project.

1. Primary health care and psychosocial support for internally displaced people in Ethiopia
Primary health care and psychosocial support for internally displaced people in Ethiopia is a project which is designed to provide primary health care (PHC), mental health and psycho social support for internally displaced peoples (IDP) which is one of the major gab of IDP centers. Compressive primary health care contains 8 components of primary care, as WHO stated, including disease prevention, health education, water and sanitation, food and nutrition, maternal and child health (MCH), immunization, treatment and provision of essential drugs.
Currently, due to internal instabilities, there are millions of peoples in Ethiopia displaced from their villages and residing in nearby IDP centers, in compound and around religious institutions, schools, streets and other places. IDPs lack the basic needs of human being including medical care.
In our review, government, local and international donators, fund raisers and other NGOs are trying to address shelter, food, water, sanitation and clothing needs of IDPs even it is still unsatisfactory. The need of Primary health care necessitates more organized approaches which make it to be the least addressed basic need of IDPs.
