TC Harold Humanitarian SRH_CERF_Vanuatu 2020

Mathias Tabeva is the Nurse Practitioner who runs the Ledungsivi Clinic in Central Pentecost. During Tropical Cyclone Harold, he stood on the verandah of the clinic to watch the winds and raise the alarm for the families sheltered inside if the cyclone changed course towards them. The expansion of the clinic next door to where he stood lost its roof, which flew several hundred metres and landed in the treetops nearby. Mathias provided an interview during the humanitarian response to Tropical Cyclone Harold in Vanuatu. UNFPA secured $241,000 through the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund to ensure the life-saving continuity of sexual and reproductive health services in affected provinces.
