Healthcare Provision

Supporting community health workers, health facilities, and supply chains as well as integrating nutrition management into health services helps make healthcare accessible to all.

Access to quality healthcare services is critical to reduce illness and deaths from infectious diseases and improve health in humanitarian and post-crisis contexts. MENTOR supports healthcare services in vulnerable settings by focussing on four key areas:

Community Health

Supporting community health workers to provide life-saving services within their own communities.

Health Facilities Support

Ensuring the training and supervision of health workers in health facilities and within hospitals to help provide quality healthcare at different levels of the system.

Nutrition Management

Integrating nutrition activities into healthcare interventions, addressing malnutrition among children under five and other vulnerable populations.

Supply Chain Support

Ensuring the reliable distribution of medical supplies, equipment and medicines in a timely and effective manner.

MENTOR collaborates with local communities and health authorities to train, equip, and support community health workers (CHWs), who serve as trusted healthcare providers within their communities.

By delivering healthcare, health education, and disease prevention interventions, community health workers bridge the gap between healthcare facilities and the people they serve, improving access to services and promoting health-seeking behaviours.

Through continuous training and on-the-job supervision, both community health workers and health facility workers stay updated on best practices and disease control strategies, ensuring high-quality care while enabling targeted supervision based on performance monitoring.

MENTOR has started integrating nutrition activities into its healthcare interventions, addressing malnutrition among children under five and other vulnerable populations. These activities include cooking demonstrations to build practical skills and enhance understanding of nutrition among caregivers, in collaboration with community feeding schemes. MENTOR also supports the malnutrition screening and treatment at all levels of healthcare supported by our programmes.
