Highlights
WHO supported the implementation of the 2nd cycle of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC)
in 3 LGAs of Michika, Mubi North and Mubi south in Adamawa. The SMC campaign involves the
monthly administration of Sulphadoxine - Pyrimethamine and Amodiaquine (SP + AQ) to children 3
– 59 months who are most at risk of malaria during the raining season. The campaign is expected to
reach over 110,000 children during this cycle through house to house drug administration by over
600 personnel engaged for the campaign. The 1ST cycle of SMC achieved a 98% coverage. SMC is
expected to contribute to at least a 70% decline in malaria morbidity in the targeted LGAs.
WHO continues to support the suspected Cholera outbreak in Fufore LGA of Adamawa state. The
support involves training of 46 health personnel on case management and provision of technical
guidance and supplies for case management at the CTC in PHC Gurin, Cottage hospital Fufore and

JANNA HEALTH FOUNDATION
JHF is implementing a Challenge Facility Civil Society Round 8 project from the STOP TB
Partnership which kicked started this in July, 2018. The evaluation population consist of 12
LGAs in the Northern and Central senatorial zones of Adamawa State. The intervention
focused on screening Nomadic school children and their host communities for TB (and HIV),
detection and linkage to treatment, care and support, with emphasis on childhood TB. The
LGAs involved include; Michika, Maiha, Mubi south, Mubi north, Hong, Gombi, Song, Girie, Yola
north, Yola south, Fufore and Madagali where skeletal services are provided due to security
challenges in that area.
All activities planned in the month under review were successfully implemented in the targeted
population. These activities include:
Active screening for HIV and TB in the nomadic schools and Host Communities
Active transportation of presumptive TB Case sputum samples and retrieval of results
to the presumptive TB cases
Transportation of children under 5years to the facilities where childhood TB cases can be diagnosed by trained medical doctors
11
Active linkage of HIV positive and diagnosed TB cases to identified HIV/TB service
delivery points for treatment, care and support
Awareness creation among target population on HIV and TB
Community outreach targeting school children and their immediate Host Communities.
Activities implemented by JHF but not planned include:
Active screening of Jimeta prison inmates for TB and HIV
Active screening for TB and HIV among newly displaced populations in Numan IDP
camp.
These activities were implemented by Community Volunteers under the supervision of JHF, the
State TB programme Team and the State Project Team headed by the Adamawa State Agency
for Control of AIDS (ADSACA).
Results:
In the 12 targeted LGAs for this intervention, 6,934 persons were verbally screened out of
which 585 presumptive TB cases were identified. Sputum samples were collected from 520
identified presumptive TB cases, out of which 27 new TB cases were detected. All 520
presumptive cases that submitted sputum had HCT out of which 9 were found to be HIV+. All TB and HIV cases detected are linked to treatment, care and support services.
Key
challenges encountered include:
Increasing number of IDPs in the newly opened camp at Numan LGA
Difficulties in managing childhood presumptive TB cases
Inadequate numbers of CVs
The following are recommendations proposed to meet the stated challenges:
Stationed a team to offer services in the camp
Adamawa STBLCP/SACA to build the capacity of CVs on TB/HCT in collaboration with
NEPWHA
JHF to liaise with medical officers in the diagnosis of childhood TB/HIV
JHF to advocate for increase in the number of CVs
12

HSWG ONGOING AT CONFERENCE HALL OF THE SMOH
Updates on the Ongoing Cholera outbreak response in Adamawa State
The total number of cases reported as at 30 th, 2018 stands at 2332 cases with 36 deaths (CFR=1.5%).
Yola North has 9 cases with 2 deaths (CFR=22.2%); Fufore has 587 cases with 7 deaths (CFR = 1.2%)
Hong has 9 cases with no death (CFR = 0%); Maiha has 170 cases with 1 death (CFR = 0.6%); Mubi
North has 639 cases and 14 deaths (CFR=2.2%); while Mubi South has 918 cases with 12 deaths (CFR =
1.3%). 35 out of 48 culture samples taken yielded positive growth.
Currently outbreak is ongoing in Fufore LGA. WHO supported Active case search teams visited 3,662
households in 8 settlements in Gurin and Fufore wards of Fufore LGA. 22 suspected cases were seen
and referred to the treatment center.
New CTC set up in Specialist Hospital Yola, bringing number of CTCs to 3. WHO supported
volunteers visited 3,059 households and sensitized 27,827 persons, distributed 66,223 sachets of water
purifier and identified 17 suspected cases of cholera that were investigated by the surveillance team. IRC
supplied 420 pieces of IEC materials to Gurin and Yola CTCs. WHO supplied medical supplies like
gloves, ORS face mask, Cannula, IV giving sets and IVFs to Yola CTC and continued to support the
supply to Gurin and Fufore CTCs. WASH activities continue to improve but much has to done to
address identified gaps. Currently only UNICEF and IRC are involved in WASH interventions with huge
capital deficit.
Huge medical referral service gaps in the humanitarian response in the state
Referral services continue to be a problem in almost all camps, camp like settlements and host
communities. With the current suspension of services by ICRC, few locations they are supporting have
been deserted. In camps UNICEF supports the transportation of referred cases to secondary and
tertiary health facilities, but no one bores the expenses. This has resulted in preventable deaths of IDPs
19
who are ravaged by near none livelihood means. This issue has been escalated to the OISWG and
beyond and responses are being awaited. On the increase on daily basis are negative coping mechanisms
which in the long run pose another huge burden to deal with.
This still informs the need for prioritization of Cash interventions in health sector response, which will
address both communicable and non-communicable disease treatments as they affect IDPs. Currently
out of pocket spending continues to dominate as the means of procuring health services by the displaced
population.

7. Seasonal malaria chemotherapy in 3 LGAs
Other activities embarked upon were bilateral interphase
ICRC was going to support and if possible shoulder activities in the Mubi Transit camps. ICRC
wants to support supply of commodities but will deliberate with principals for Fufore cholera
outbreak. Also they intend to support risk communication in Fufore.
IRC constraints are that they have no grants for Adamawa State health sector response since
last two years, except currently for cholera outbreak in the State. Madagali and Michika LGAs
have a lot of needs but report from government is not encouraging. IRC is awaiting an
assessment report to supply commodities to Fufore, so as to support the cholera response.

CPPLI will be rounding up their SGBV and protection activities in 8 supported LGAs in
Adamawa. WHO has requested CPPLI to interphase with IRC so as to link up as an exit
strategy to continue SGBV management in locations they have carried out interventions.
FMOH/SMOH/OCHA/WHO post-flood assessment of key affected LGAs
The FMOH as a matter of importance following the NISHA and NEMA categorization of the flood
situation have embarked on assessment of flood affected LGAs in States including Adamawa State.
Although the visit was a little belated, it offered an opportunity to see the attendant health and health
related conditions following the floods. 3 LGAs were visited (Numan, Guyuk and Song LGAs) and
questionnaires applied. A report of the post flood assessment is still being awaited. SMOH, OCHA and
WHO supported the process that was led by the FMOH. The country office of WHO is also supporting
transport logistics of drugs, RDTs and LLINs from the FMOH store to the 12 states affected by the
floods in the country; which will be handed to SEMA, SMOH in the respective affected state
The map below is a graphical presentation of the presence of partners by LGA and the frequency of reporting the 5Ws
for the month of September, 2018.
