General Information The organization Première Urgence
Internationale (PUI) is a non-governmental, non-profit,
non-political, and non-religious international aid organization.
Our teams are committed to supporting civilian victims of
marginalization and exclusion, natural disasters, wars, and
economic collapses, by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim
is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people in order to
help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. The
association leads an average of 190 projects per year in the
following sectors of intervention: food security, health,
nutrition, infrastructure, WASH, and economic recovery. PUI is
providing assistance to 5 million people in 24 countries – in
Africa, Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe and France in 2023. PUI
started implementing operations in Libya since 2017, so far, PUI
is focusing on the health care issue, by providing primary health
care (PHC) services to internal displaced populations and their
host communities, migrants refugees and asylum seekers in the
eastern cities of the country. PUI is recreating an access to
essential package of health care including communicable and
non-communicable diseases, medical screening, sexual and
reproductive health and psychosocial support interventions via
Mobile Health Teams. Furthermore, PUI is reinforcing
sensitization, communication and prevention on health care topics
within the communities. PUI started a new project aiming at
improving the management of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) –
including cancer – with a community health and MHPSS component
at primary health care level. The project – funded by the
French Government (Centre de Crise et de Soutien) is implemented
in Benghazi. The project PUI started a new project aiming at
improving the management of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) –
including cancer – with a community health and MHPSS component
at primary health care level. The project – funded by the
French Government (Centre de Crise et de Soutien) is implemented
in Benghazi. The action aims at expanding the capacities of the
primary health sector – in the district of Benghazi – in the
management of NCDs’ health care services, building on the
expertise PUI has consolidated from 2019. While it is meant to be
a continuation of PUI former intervention on NCDs health care
services, a broader scope will be adopted to contribute to the
NCCP programme for prevention, screening and early-detection of
the most common cancers (through mammography for breast cancer,
or colonoscopy for colon cancer for instance, and referral for
diagnosis for suspected cases) in the country. Similarly, the
project will include activities to address some psychosocial
issues linked with NCDs, and to strengthen the capacities of the
health staff to support patients affected by NCDs. The clinical
management of NCDs will be complemented with a community outreach
strategy with a two-fold objective: 1) Raising awareness on risky
behaviours and prevention and 2) Promoting health seeking
behaviours and access to primary health care services for the
most vulnerable and at risk of marginalisation groups. Moreover,
awareness on mental health and psychosocial support will be
raised to fight stigma and promote accessibility to services. To
this extent, PUI will continue to engage with the Libyan Red
Crescent to identify Community Health Volunteers to be deployed
in the catchment area of the targeted health facility. Moreover,
the project aims at increasing the DHS department capacities in
effective management and supervision of the NCD clinics. Overall
