1 Introduction
The Somali health sector has been characterized
as under-funded, fragmented and ineffective.
Government, UN, NGO and community providers
struggle to provide services with limited and
unpredictable inputs and a lack of centralized and
strategically directed financing or direction/policy.
In the South Central zone, NGOs and local community
organizations typically run health facilities broadly in line
with three tiers of service provision. In the 2 Northern
zones government is also a main provider of primary
health care services.
Health posts (HPs) are the lowest tier of service
provider: They typically consist of one or two semi-
trained staff without formal salaries or supervision
operating out of a 1 -2 room facility or a local house or
shop (no formal facility).
Maternal and Child Health Centers (MCHs) are
the inter-mediate tier of service provider: they are
highly variable. They have from 1 12 staff some
with professional nurses and midwives, others with
no professional higher than an auxiliary (especially in
rural areas). The range and quality of services varies
enormously with some MCHs seeing 3,000 patients a
month and others seeing less than 50!
Hospitals are the highest tier of service provision: they
are also highly variable with 10 hundreds of staff
and most with a medical doctor and some professional
nurses or midwives. However, even hospitals lack
5
professional staff and especially the diversity of
technical staff necessary to run a full hospital service.
With the extreme diversity of facilities and the variability
in range of services extent of support and type of
support offered (UN agency, NGO, government) it is no
wonder there is little uniformity in the quality and range
of services offered between facilities and within a tier
of service level.
Recognizing the extremely dilapidated state of much
of the Somali health infrastructure, The Joint Needs
Assessment (JNA) for Somalia determined the need
for the development of standardized blueprints for
health facilities as an important technical task to allow
a move towards the standardization of services offered
within a particular tier of service delivery. Standard
building guidelines also offer the potential for costing
construction and infrastructure elements of health
system development and therefore are an important
component of planning for a future health system.
In a workshop in 2007, representatives from the health
sector came together and agreed to try and establish
operating norms and standards for what levels of care
each tier should follow. The UNICEF health systems
strengthening programme developed a process of
extensive consultation and review and eventually
produced an Essential Package of Health Services
(EPHS).
The EPHS defines the range of services (and therefore
supplies and staff competencies) necessary to offer at
each tier level. Projecting from the range of services
and staff required, it is possible to define the level of
facility needed to house each tier of service provision.
Previous Tiers of Service
Health Post (HP)
Maternal and Child Health Centre (MCH)
District Hospital
Regional Hospital
Referral Hospital
The new names of EPHS facilities have been
changed to disconnect levels of service provision from
political administrative boundaries/unit names (districts/
regions) so that facilities can be planned for according
to need and not political calculus. And to highlight
the need for real change as in each case, significant
changes in focus are prescribed for each tier of service.
This cannot be created piecemeal and is essential
to start generating real performance and returns on
investment I the health sector.
This report presents concepts for standard health
facility design at each tier of service. The design
concept is modular. In consultation with health
authorities we agreed a basic PHU/HP. The PHU
building is used as part of the MCH/Health Centre and
this HC facility is used as part of a referral centre etc.
so that any building can be upgraded to a higher tier of
service and to keep overall construction costs and the
types of buildings required as simple (and cheap) as
possible.
All buildings have been designed to use simple but high
quality building techniques with simple roof structures
and external corridors etc.
While all designs are simple relatively cheap and
locally appropriate, it is not expected that all facilities
6
This also means we can develop standard blueprints
for health facilities at each level. The EPHS defines a
standard:
Standardized EPHS Tiers of Service
Primary Health Unit (PHU)
Health centre (HC)
Referral Health Centre
Hospital
will follow specifications to the letter. All facility
blueprints need to be adapted to the site and conditions
of the site at hand rural MCHs may have to be
constructed on relatively small sites. Rural facilities
will need to take into consideration soils, water supply,
drainage and ventilation. However basic designs,
floor layout plans and indicative Bills of Quantities are
developed for each structure and these BoQs can be
modified to allow adaptation to the local site and needs.
Furthermore, innovations are encouraged (for example
in areas where there is more regular rainfall throughout
the year, constructors may wish to include submerged
tanks to collect roof run-off). Lastly these plans can
be developed over time as experience grows with
construction and planning.
This report presents basic floor plans and elevations
however there are a large range of detailed drawings
to guide constructors that should be printed out on A3.
In addition there are BoQs that can easily be adapted
to promote professional construction in any setting
adapted to the local constructions challenges (soil
type, drainage, water availability, ventilation, coastal/in-
land). The detailed booklets for each building type are
available on diskette or through the health coordination
bodies and at MoH offices.

8 Waste Disposal

Indicative Construction Cost (see BoQs): 700 USD

Medical waste is a serious issue. During construction All facilities will need a waste pit to burry medical waste
of any level of facility plans must be made for medical and this pit should not be open to the public/playing
waste disposal. For larger facilities producing large children.
quantities of dangerous medical waste an incinerator
is highly recommended despite the additional costs of
construction.
