Helene Ries and Calvin Koenig are United Nations Volunteers serving with the World Bank in Indonesia. They advance the efforts of the World Bank in the health and finance sectors in the country. Their assignments are fully funded by the Government of Switzerland.

Since the start of the pandemic, the Health, Nutrition and Population team of the World Bank has extended several projects in Indonesia. These range from improving the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and facilitating access to vaccines, increasing detection and treatment for tuberculosis, to finding ways in which the national health insurance system can cover the population with even more efficiency.

The recent monsoon floods in Pakistan have had a severe impact on the lives of 33 million people and elevated the risk of a public health disaster. According to the National Disaster Management Authority, 2,000 health facilities, or 10 per cent of all facilities in the country, have been either damaged or destroyed. The World Health Organization (WHO) is delivering health services to the displaced, and UN Volunteers are on the WHO team.

Over eight million people in Pakistan flood-affected districts are in urgent need of health assistance and the risk of disease outbreaks is particularly high.
