Infant, young child and maternal nutrition project
The Infant, young child and maternal nutrition project in Kaberamaido district is aimed at mainstreaming health and nutrition into the health care delivery system and to support and facilitate functionality of Village Health Teams in the four sub counties of Kaberamaido district. The project objective is to improve the nutritional status of the most vulnerable rural population in the four sub counties on Anyara, Ochero, Otuboi and Kaberamido. This involves strengthening the capacity of the health care system at both community and facility level to deliver essential nutrition action as an integral part of the existing public health services (ANC, delivery, PNC and IMCI)
HEALTH, SRHR AND HIV/AIDS
Linking governance to Services delivery
The Health unit management committee (HUMC) has a major role to play in ensuring that the lower level public health facilities focus on quality improvement and achieving the necessary outcomes including access to quality maternal and child health services. Improving quality is about making healthcare safer, effective, patient centred, timely, efficient and equitable.
One of the strategy HNU uses is building the capacity of the HUMC in social accountability tools especially community score card (CSC) and empowering the Village healyh team members (VHTs) to improve performance at facility through training in quality assurance approaches.The community score cards is a tool which aims to empower women and men to raise their issues and perception of service delivery and evaluate the services provided by public health facilities. In return it offers government and health service provides an opportunity to provide explanations and planned action to deliver services.
