A semi-quantitative risk assessment model of primary health care service interruption during flood: Case study of Aroma locality, Kassala State of Sudan

Primary health care (PHC) centers are very important to provide health facilities and services at the local level. The role of PHC centers becomes crucial during the flood and other natural disasters. PHC is an essential health care which is scientifically sound, socially acceptable, universally accessible through affordable cost, and geared towards self reliance, and based on practical methods and technology. This paper attempts to develop a semi-quantitative risk assessment model for primary health care service interruption during flood. The model is developed in the context of Sudanese PHC and validated further to add value and confirm its application in a wider context.
