Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH) Emergencies Helpline
OHW developed a helpline to assist rural MNH services providers in clinical decision-making.
This program was designed in anticipation of scenarios where rural health services providers might be faced with an MNH emergency in which referral to a higher facility might be delayed or not be possible at all given the impact on travel accessibility due to the pandemic and remoteness.
Telehealth Program for Rural Health Facilities
This program allows Skilled Birth Attendants to provide cellphone-based consultations for pregnant women (antenatal care) and recently delivered women (postnatal care).
Continuum of Care Simulation-Based Mentorship Program for SBAs
We received 50 sets of birth simulators and skills trainers donated by Laerdal Global Health to implement this mentorship program.
Rural Ultrasound Training Curriculum Revision
Based on the recommendations from our evaluation of the rural ultrasound training program, we began to revise the current training package to make it a competency-based standard curriculum in order to improve the quality of service delivery.
