The National Initiative to Address COVID-19 Health Disparities, CDC-RFA-OT21-2103 grant, from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) with a proposed budget of $2,942,636 will be used to provide healthcare and preventive services to the hard-to-reach, underserved populations with the greatest needs in the FSM. This grant will partner with other existing programs, local or federal, positioned for the same purpose.The grant will cover the period starting on June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2023 with the purpose of addressing the disparity in the delivery of overall healthcare services to remote and underserved areas. With the successful implementation of the project, FSM will see the expansion, development and/or increase of capacity of four major areas as they relate to its COVID-19 and healthcare disparities. First would be more equitable access to COVID-19 supplies, services and facilities, second would be the improvement of data collection and reporting as they relate to COVID-19, third is the increase in infrastructure support to prevent and combat COVID-19 and fourth would be the mobilization of partners and stakeholders to advance equity and address social factors as they relate to COVID-19 among remote and underserved areas. The main thrust of the activities will focus on increasing the country?s capability to better provide healthcare in the remote areas where communities are underserved and at higher risk thereby strengthening their resiliency toward COVID-19.
