19. SOUNDBITE (English) Shagufta, Lady Health Worker (LHW):

21. SOUNDBITE (Urdu) Dr Masood, Medical Superintendent (MS), Civil Hospital, Madyan:
“All because of flooding, our water storage gets damaged which causes water-borne diseases like diarrheal diseases. Acute Watery Diarrhoea / Cholera has increased, Hepatitis A and typhoid have also increased. Along with that more cases are being reported of Vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue.”
22. Various shots, patients waiting for paperwork to receive medication
23. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Palitha Gunarathna Mahipala, Representative in Pakistan, World Health Organisation (WHO):
“Since beginning, WHO staff is on the ground, we’ve been visiting all the districts which have been affected and supporting with the supply of medicines and other logistics, supply with rapid diagnostics to enhance the disease prevention and control when it comes to certain vector born and water-borne diseases and also WHO staff were much involved with organising mobile health camps.”
24. Various shots, aerial views destroyed street in Bahrain and WHO staff on location
STORYLINE
After, torrential monsoon rains triggered the most severe flooding in Pakistan's recent history, over 1,460 health facilities have been affected. Access to health care facilities, health care workers and essential medicines and medical supplies is limited.
Bahrain in the Swat Valley has faced massive destruction due to the flooding. Entire buildings have been washed away. Homes destroyed, roads left in ruin and unpassable.
The last remaining health facility in the region, the Civil Hospital and its staff there are finding themselves under immense pressure with limited supplies and resources to provide the medical care that the people of the region so desperately need.

“Challenges are basically arising just because of the destruction of the roads because they cannot travel so long from their Kalamto this area. This is, I think, the only health facility left here, so it is difficult for them to travel too long to be here.”
Ongoing outbreaks of acute diarrhoea, typhoid, measles, leishmaniasis and polio are at risk of being further exacerbated. Increased transmission of malaria remains a threat and many cases are already presenting to clinics in the flood-affected areas.

The floodwaters have now passed through the Swat valley, but it’s impact will be felt for a long time to come.
