GHD|EMPHNET Continues Its Support for Polio Legacy Program in Egypt

Egypt's strong experience and investments in Polio Eradication Program present an important opportunity to utilize existing human and material resources to sustain Polio essential functions, accelerate measles /rubella elimination, and strengthen routine immunization. This opportunity was successfully seized when GHD|EMPHNET supported Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) in the successful implementation of the Polio Legacy Program in three frontier governorates: Aswan, Matrouh, and Red Sea. Taking place over a two-year period between 2017 and 2018, this support was part of the first phase of the project titled Utilizing Polio Program Assets to Reach the Targets for Measles/Rubella Elimination and Strengthening the Routine Immunization (RI) Program.

 

In 2020, building on the success of the project’s first phase, GHD|EMPHNET and the MoHP expanded the project into four highly populated governorates: Greater Cairo, Giza, Qalubia, and Sharkia. Inhabited by one-third of the country’s population, these governorates are considered at high risk for Polio importation and outbreaks of other Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs). Reaching these governorates with RI services is a challenge because of their hard-to-reach demographic make-up: urban slums, nomadic groups, and expatriates from neighboring countries.

 

Relying on the experience gained from the implementation of the first phase, GHD|EMPHNET is supporting the MoHP in identifying high-risk groups with low measles immunity, raising community awareness among such groups, implementing action plans to accelerate measles /rubella elimination, strengthening immunization, and sustaining Polio-free status in these high-risk governorates.

 

This support took the form of capacity building activities at the grassroot level- with emphasis on community engagement which is key to advancing the utilization of Polio assets.  In two months, from October 18 to December 22, 2020, the MoHP, in collaboration with GHD|EMPHNET, trained over 480 health staff members working at the level of health units. Sessions were designed to familiarize staff with various topics related to RI: defining the VPDs: measles, rubella, and AFP; describing the reporting process of VPDs; detecting and reporting suspected cases and unimmunized population; and conducing micro-surveys and implementing response activities. Other sessions aimed to highlight the importance of effective communication in responding to questions and concerns about vaccination and communicating appropriate messages to the target population.  

 

Over 450 community volunteers were trained as well. They were introduced to key concepts in Polio Legacy Programs, VPDs, and AFP. They also sat through sessions on communication skills needed when dealing with targeted communities.
