Project: Mother and Child Health for all
Women's Hope International is partnering with CUAMM since May 2015 to strengthen 20 government health centres in three districts (Wolisso, Goro and Wonchi) in the Oromia Province.
Purpose of Project
There are two groups of beneficiaries in the project. The first group are the health professionals working in the 20 health centres and their adjacent satellite health posts. The second group are the mothers and their small children in the mostly rural communities.
Goal
The maternal mortality rate and the infant mortality rate is significantly reduced in the three districts.
Objectives
In each of the 20 health centres the maternal and newborn health services have improved. The centres implement an adequate information and management system.
The demand und use by mothers, especially pregnant women, of maternal health services has increased.
The zonal health bureau of the ministry of health has an increased capacity to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate the health services in three districts.
Project Manager
