MEDICAL COORDINATOR
Aide Médicale Internationale (AMI)
Closing date: 30 Nov 2010
Location: Thailand - Mae-Sot
MEDICAL COORDINATOR
MAESOT - THAILAND
Aide Médicale Internationale is a French international medical NGO. It was created in 1979. A.M.I. manages medical programs in Afghanistan, Thailand, Myanmar, Yemen, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and Haiti. More information on www.amifrance.org
A.M.I. PROGRAM IN THAILAND:
For the past half century, the military junta in Burma has continuously denied basic human rights to minorities living in the peripheral states of Burma. This has lead to a dramatic humanitarian crisis: limited access to minimum health services and education, livelihood opportunities; and active oppressive measures, such as forced displacement and labor, land confiscation, etc. Since 1984, the flow of refugees (up to 160,000 Karen, Karenni, Mon, Shan and other minorities in 2010 ) has fed the 9 camps along the Thailand/Burma border.
As Thailand did not sign the 1951 Refugee Convention, refugees have no official status in the country. Their confinement in the camps has lead to a specific situation where basic services and amenities need to be provided on a continuous basis by the international community (NGOs) together with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs).
Of the three common durable solutions for refugees (repatriation, resettlement, integration), only resettlement is feasible in this context. Despite the resettlement of about 67,000 refugees in host countries, the population of the camps has not decreased. The continuous state-wide political oppression and poverty , associated to the opportunities linked to the resettlement and the availability of services in the camps (including health and education), are considered to be push/pull factors, triggering population mobility across the border in Thailand border province and in and out of the camp.
In this context, the emergency has become a protracted crisis that still needs coordinated efforts to help the refugees cope with their basic needs, such as nutrition and health.
A.M.I. has provided health care services and training for medical staff since 1995 in refugees’ camps.
AMI PROGRAMS IN THAILAND:
A.M.I. is working in 3 camps of the Tak Province (Maela, Nupoe and Umpiem) with about 80,000 direct beneficiaries (camp residents) and 10,000 indirect beneficiaries (migrants or Thai communities using camp health services) per year.
The Nupoe camp was created in 1995. A.M.I. has supported curative health care there since 1997: consultations, hospitalizations, referrals to the Thai hospital; the focus is done on supporting our staff to become autonomous and on reinforcing their skills through training.
A.M.I has taken over activities in the Umpiem camp from MSF-France and has been in charge of the curative health care since 2001 (same activities as in Nupoe).
In the Maela camp, after MSF-France as well, A.M.I. took over the responsibility of the curative and preventive health care in July 2005. This camp, created in 1984, is the oldest and biggest camp along the border. The activities there include: consultations, hospitalizations, referrals to the Thai hospital, MCH consultations (immunization, nutrition follow-up, growth monitoring, post natal consultations…), and supplementary feeding program.
