The International Rescue Committee provides vital support to refugees and Kenyan host communities struggling to recover from violence and natural disaster. IRC has been delivering health care in and around Dadaab for most of the camp’s 30-year existence.
IRC’s current programs are focused in the Hagadera camp, where teams provide comprehensive health care to refugees and host communities, including basic and specialised care. Currently, IRC provides COVID-19 vaccinations and awareness campaigns to reduce vaccine hesitancy; surveillance and treatment for patients with non-communicable diseases; mental health and psychosocial support; maternal, reproductive, and HIV services; nutrition assessments and programs to combat acute malnutrition; gender-based violence response and prevention programs; vocational training; and financial support.
