1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Highlights for this reporting quarter include the PEER Thailand Program Design and Planning Workshop – which gathered together

all new PEER Thailand partners for a two-day meeting, which both introduced PEER, and provided opportunities to discuss in detail

all aspects of implementation. This was preceded by several meetings with the individual partners, conducted by PEER team members

in January and February 2012, in Bangkok as well as the four program-implementation provinces. PEER Thailand is due for official

launch with all partners on 27 April 2012.

HOPE was carried out in Bangladesh with National Institute of Preventative and Social Medicine (NIPSOM), as well as HOPE

Cambodia in Siem Reap. A very successful Hospital Assessment and Planning Workshop for Model Hospital capacity building took

place for two-days in Phnom Penh, with Preah Kossamak Hospital, incorporating hospital assessments and development of disaster

planning skills with hospital medical and non-medical senior personnel. HOPE was carried out in Lamongan, Indonesia at the end of

this reporting period.

CADRE basic and TFI training was extensively carried out in Vietnam in February-March 2012. The schedule comprised two

batches of basic training and TFI, for participants from various provinces, in Hue, This was conducted with the full support of

American Red Cross,. One of the advantages of this CADRE training is its direct incorporation into the USAID-funded American

Red Cross Community-based Disaster Risk Management in Vietnam project and there are ambitious training plans to train over 800

volunteers in CADRE through these new Vietnamese CADRE instructors

Program management activities include the Internal Planning Meeting conducted by the PEER team in January 2012, in which the

year’s activities were planned out, and tasks delegated and priorities set, ahead of the submission of the Fourth Annual Work Program,

which also took place in this reporting period - in March 2012. In-country meetings include a Planning Meeting conducted by PEER

COP Mr. Sajedul Hasan in Pakistan. Planning meetings also took place for PEER in Nepal. The above meetings and program

activities are detailed in this Quarterly Report.

2. DETAILED ACTIVITIES THIS REPORTING QUARTER:

2.1. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES:

2.1.1. PEER Thailand:

PEER Thailand Program Design and Planning Workshop

Dates: 8-9 February 2012.

Venue: Swissotel Nailert Park Bangkok,

Outcomes:

Agreed roles and responsibilities of Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) as the nodal agency and

implementing institutions from Thai Red Cross Society (TRCS), Emergency Medical Institute of Thailand (EMIT) and

Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA)

Set of recommendations for institutionalization and sustainability of the PEER Program in Thailand

Initial draft work plan for 2012 with target dates of key program activities

Identified members of the PEER in Country steering committee with proposed terms of reference

Selection criteria for tambon and hospitals that will be targeted in the 4 provinces of Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani and

Nakhon Sawan

Set of recommendations for the country adaptation of CADRE and HOPE

List of operational point of contact in each of the partner agencies and institutions.

Agreed set of selection criteria for national instructors, local level course participants, tambon and hospitals

Planning for translation of materials as priority before starting any training activities: Partners DDPM / TRCS / BMA agreed

to review the initial draft of the translation of materials

Scheduling of activities needs to consider the start of the rainy season and the possibility of flooding not only in the target

provinces but also in other areas in which our national partners will need to respond.

Further oobservations:

DDPM will provide the facility for the CADRE training looking at their existing facilities at the regional DPM academies in

the provinces

BMA has a different government structure compared to other provinces. The program needs to adapt to the existing system in

BMA regarding the local community within Bangkok districts to target for CADRE.

OTOS teams are the same people who are TRCS volunteers in the community. They can be targeted as participants at the

provincial level cadre courses.

CADRE can consider utilizing the organization and personnel of volunteer foundations like Po Tek Tung and Ruamkatanyu

Foundation at local organizational level

2.2. CADRE ACTIVITIES:

2.2.1. CADRE Vietnam: Basic CADRE and TFI took place in Vietnam in association with Vietnam National Red Cross (VNRC), ARC-

Vietnam, and German Red Cross – Vietnam.

ADPC finalized the curriculum in translation and adaptation for Vietnam and supported the training at Basic and TFI-IW level for the Red

Cross National Societies in-country, in two CADRE Basic + TFI-IW ran back-to-back in Hue, in February-March 2012, as follows:

Dates: 6-8 February 2012 - Hue, Vietnam (CADRE Basic) / 10-18 February 2012 - Hue, Vietnam (CADRE Training for Instructors and

Instructors Workshop) / 20-22 February 2012 - Hue Vietnam (CADRE Basic) / 24 February - 3 March 2012 - Hue, Vietnam (CADRE

Training for Instructors and Instructors Workshop)

Review and outcomes: Forty-seven Vietnamese participants qualified as CADRE Instructors, having completed the 12-day basic +

instructor-level training course. The majority of the new CADRE Instructors are Vietnamese Red Cross Society staff, who will now be

able to train other communities in rural villages and urban districts of Vietnam. One of the advantages of this particular CADRE training is

its direct incorporation into the ARC (USAID-funded) Disaster Risk Management in Vietnam project. In the coming months as part of this

project, over 800 commune level VNRC volunteers from 40 different emergency response teams in 40 disaster prone communes of central

Vietnam will be trained by the 47 new CADRE instructors. The instructors and the communes they will work in are from the following

provinces: Hue, Quang Ngai, Ha Tinh, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Quảng Bình, Quang Tri and Quảng Nam. Demonstrating the strong

collaboration among Red Cross Societies actively supporting VNRC in Vietnam, additional trainees were from the American, German and

Spanish Red Cross as well as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).A delegation from the United

States Agency for International Development, American Red Cross and Vietnam Red Cross visited CADRE in Hue on 2-3 March 2012.

The delegation comprised; Mr. Michael Foster, Supervisory Program Officer, USAID, Mr. Richard Nyberg, Communications Officer,

USAID, Mr. Kendall RePass, Country Representative, ARC, and Mr. Le The Thin – Director of Disaster Management Department),

VNRC.[ For further information – see Annex 2]

2.3. HOPE ACTIVITIES:

2.3.1. HOPE Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dates: 22-26 January 2012

Location: Conference Room of National Institute for Preventive and Social Medicine (NIPSOM)

Participants: 24 participants from different hospitals and institutions

Review and Outcomes: The First HOPE National Training under PEER 3 in Bangladesh was held at NIPSOM. In total there were

19 men and 5 women participants. Among the participants there were 20 doctors from various departments, three nurses, one

medical instructor and one medical engineer participating. There were five HOPE National Instructors in total from Bangladesh,

who are HOPE TFI Graduates from PEER 2. There was also one monitor from Nepal. Of the participants, 19 completed the course

successfully. This was the first training following an extended period in which there has been no HOPE training in Bangladesh –

since PEER 2. The learnings from this course will help the instructors to prepare for the next courses.There are several challenges

identified for HOPE in Bangladesh. There is an inadequate number of healthcare personnel in general. Also, the number of medical

practitioners is less than is required. There is significant pressure on the available healthcare personnel. Therefore, it is difficult to

achieve the required numbers of participants. Moreover, those who are doctors have their private practices at weekends. This means

that HOPE cannot be planned over the weekend – or there is a question as to whether the participants will attend. Availability of

HOPE Instructors is also a big challenge, as Bangladesh has very few HOPE Instructors currently available. Hence the HOPE course

can only be conducted when they are available and the program must be scheduled accordingly. The HOPE budget cannot support

instructors from abroad.

2.3.2. HOPE Lao PDR - Mithaphab Hospital Capacity- building and Planning Workshop (Model Hospital)

Dates: 20-21 Feb 2012

Location: Mithaphab Hospital, Vientiane

Participants: Participation from different departments heads of the hospital who graduated from the HOPE Course last October

2011 together with invitees from the local police department, Lao Red Cross and Fire Department

Review and Outcomes: Initial hospital risk assessment was conducted by MOH and WHO country office as part of the Safe

Hospital Program in 2010. These outcomes were used as a basis for the discussions during the workshop in identifying and

prioritizing relevant hazards, vulnerabilities of the hospitals and the capacity development needs in order to respond to emergencies

effectively. The outcome of the workshop was a draft plan for the hospital incident command system (HICS) that identified the

different roles and responsibilities of the command and general staff. The plans have been an incentive to action for the hospital staff

following the planning workshop, in that the plans demonstrated the need for further improvement within the hospital itself.

2.3.3 HOPE Cambodia

Dates: 12-16 March, 2012

Location Siem Reap Provincial Hospital

Participants: 24 participants (2 Women) coming from 6 Provincial Hospitals

Review and outcomes:

Attendant at the opening ceremony were Mr. Eung Reithy Reth, Deputy Director of Siem Reap Health Department and Dr. Eung

Phallkun, Head of Siem Reap Provincial Referral Hospital. All participants are serving in the hospitals as head of hospital, doctors,

staff and administrators. This is the second course in Cambodia where HOPE course has been conducted using the Laos language,

and using National Instructors. Prior to the course, the Instructors met for revision of the HOPE course materials. This meant that the

materials are now easier to understand. The revisions addressed the issues raised by the participants in the previous HOPE course in

Laos. All participants were very active and eager to learn – as exhibited in their pre-test and post test outcomes. Significant change

was seen in their knowledge of the concepts of hospital preparedness, and in their skills in responding to emergencies. These results

indicate that these graduates have an increased awareness of planning and practices which can keep their hospitals and patients safer.

2.3.4 HOPE Cambodia – Hospital Assessment and Planning Workshop- Preah Kossamak Hospital (PKH), Phnom Penh

Dates: 21-22 March 2012

Location: Blue River Hotel, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Participants: 15 Hospital department representatives, mainly senior management, from many medical departments including EMS,

Surgery, OBS, and non-medical including hospital facilities manager and financial director.

Review and outcomes: The workshop was held over two days at the Blue River Hotel, Phnom Penh, which is a short drive from

PKH. The workshop followed a process of review, assessment, shared learning and planning, through participatory discussion

exercises, brain-storming, and desk-top exercises. There were sessions specifically for the discussion and analysis of the following

issues: hospital hazard assessment, hospital vulnerability assessment, hospital capacity assessment, risk management and the

planning and development of an emergency response plan. During the workshop, all participants were responsive and receptive.

There was useful participatory planning and learning, and an opportunity to share ideas, particularly to prioritize the hazards within

and without the hospital. There is very little participatory planning and consultation conducted within the heath sector in Cambodia,

so it took a little time for the participants to be fully vocal but as a process and in terms of productive outcomes – this was a very

productive exercise .On completion of the workshop, the participants had gained the skills to understand the risks and vulnerabilities

for PKH, and understand the main activities and action points to conduct in PKH as preparedness for disasters and emergencies, and

also as prevention and mitigation of in-hospital hazards.. Objectives following on from this workshop are to prepare a full

emergency response plan for the PKH, based on their developed understanding of the weakness and strength of their hospital.

The workshop was beneficial for PKH, since hospital receives directives from MOH regarding disaster preparedness objectives, yet

they are not specifically focused to PKH, neither are these directives detailed enough about the responsibility of each staff member

in emergency preparedness and disaster management. The workshop provided necessary techniques for hospital assessment, and the

participants gained a deeper understanding of hospital disaster planning. The next steps towards development of a Hospital

Preparedness Plan will also incorporate ongoing technical support from ADPC. In the workshop assessment, participants noted that

it would be beneficial to have participation from relevant external stakeholders such as hospital budget holders and ministry

officials, in such workshops. This would be an opportunity for them to fully understand the vulnerability of hospitals in Cambodia,

and to share ideas/experiences, and to participate in assessments and planning exercises. The outcome could then be a deeper

external commitment to support development objectives to improve the condition of the hospital preparedness, both considering

internal facilities and concerning external risk factors.

2.3.5 HOPE Indonesia

Dates: 30 March 30 – 1 April 12012

Location Tanjung Kodok Resort, Lamongan/Surabaya/Indonesia

Participants: from eight hospitals: Muhammadiyah Hospitals & 1 Government Hospital in Lamongan-Surabaya. Muhhamdiyah

University in Jogyakarta & Malang. Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital

Instructors selected from various background experiences to support this program including Hospital Directors & Managers,

Emergency & Disaster Expert, Senior Surgeons, and Earthquake Engineer with experience in disaster management.

Review and outcomes: The course was carried out in association with implementing agency 118 Emergency Ambulance Service

Foundation in collaboration with The Indonesian Hospital Association, Indonesia Surgeons Association & Muhammadiyah Hospital

Lamongan The Hospital Preparedness Emergencies & Disasters Course was partially funded / supported by Muhammadiyah

Hoispital in Lamongan. In Indonesia there is a requirement that every hospital must have a hospital disaster plan – part of achieving

Hospital Accreditation by the Indonesian Ministry of Health and The Indonesia Hospital Association. The HOPE course has been

adopted by The Indonesian Ministry of Health, Indonesia Hospital Association and Indonesia Surgeons Association, Bahasa was

used as teaching language, and in some slides and materials. All instructors for HOPE in Indonesia have extensive experience in

disaster management and response, and contributed extensively to the original development of the HOPE Course,

Opening ceremony attended by the Director of Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital, which is a focal point for Muhammadiyah

Health sector in East Java, and a strategic location to initiate the HOPE Program in Indonesia with Muhammadiyah. For the final

table-top simulation exercise, there were two incidents created: 1) An aircraft accident inside the airport and 2) an aircraft accident

outside the airport. Groups are encouraged to draw on skills learned about hospital preparedness in the pre-hospital phase & hospital

phase. The pre-hospital phase requires coordination with the rescue teams, security teams at the airport, fire and emergency services,

as well coordination with all the other hospitals around the site. During this exercise, participants learn how management support

and medical support should also be utilized in managing the disaster, not just utilizing senior medical personnel.

3. PROGRESS OF THE PROGRAM FOR THIS REPORTING PERIOD
