This past year alone, 620 healthcare workers were trained in antenatal, delivery, postnatal, and paediatric care.
In partnership with the Ministry of Health Zanzibar we improve Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) services across health facilities in Zanzibar as well as implement community-based activities in Unguja aiming to improve the ability of individuals to practice positive health-seeking and self-care behaviors.
Our work fosters Zanzibar’s progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 3.1 (Reduce Maternal Mortality), and 3.2 (End All Preventable Deaths Under 5 Years of Age)
315 healthcare workers trained in 16 facilities to implement the E-MOTIVE bundle for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).
Together with our partner the Lady Fatemah (a.s.) Charitable Trust and the MoH we are implementing a 3-year project improving RMNCAH outcomes, by strengthening service provision in the health facilities as well as improving positive health-seeking behaviour in the communities.
