In May 2009, the Government of Pakistan launched a military operation against Taliban forces in Buner, Lower Dir, and Swat Valley (districts located in the KPK). The majority of the local population started moving to Mardan and Swabi in order to avoid the conflict. By May 28, 2009, the number of IDPs had swelled to just over 3 million creating further pressure on the government, as well as the international community, to respond to the needs to the migrating population who had left their homes without money or other support.
In response to the evolving situation, and after a rapid need assessment, MdM deployed mobile clinics in Swabi and Buner to support IPDs and host community affected by the crisis. The mobile clinics are village based to respond to the high number (80%) of IDPs living in host communities. Since June 2009, MDM continue to support host communities, IDPs and returnees in Swabi and Buner districts through OPD, EPI, Nutrition and Reproductive health programmes. Almost one year after the crisis, the mobile clinics programme is still functioning, assisting the communities while they wait for the restoration of health facilities.
Since January 2010, the situation in Orakzai, Kurram agencies (FATA) is rapidly deterioration. Beginning of March 2010, the army launched a military operation in Orakzai agency leading to the displacement of approximately 135.000 persons in Hangu and Kohat districts (KPK). MDM deployed 2 mobile clinics to provide Primary health care to the most vulnerable communities in Kohat district.
Today, with 5 mobile units and more than 115 staff, MDM is providing primary health care services to more than 2000 patient per week in three districts in KPK.
