“As elected Ward Chairman, I will make this my foremost agenda and it is because of OHW. Working with them for the renovation of the Yangpang BC was the first time I came to realize the importance of quality in healthcare. Now that I know the importance of delivering at a health facility, I have proposed a budget for our ward to support a mobile RUSG (rural ultrasound) program at all the birthing centers so that mothers can be encouraged to go and have these services available for safe delivery. Seeing the newly renovated BCs encourages me to increase our efforts to improve access for mothers and their babies. We are looking forward to the awareness activities to be launched so that more of our people can know about the importance of institutional delivery.”
