4th Maternal and Child Health Training Conference, Day 1

Day 1 is done

This is our 4th Maternal and Child Health Training Conference with Helping Children Worldwide and Healey International Relief Foundation, and we’re back in Bo thanks to funding from Rotary International!

We’ve got a wonderful new crew of trainers from Canada to work with and the number of local national trainers is steadily increasing, which is so awesome.

The Bo District Medical Officer gave a nice introduction about the MoH’s 300 days of activism initiative to reach zero preventable maternal deaths, zero preventable child deaths and zero “zero-dose” children. He also commended us for our efforts and the QUALITY of our training, which is why we were invited back!

With 38 midwives, nurses and maternal and child health aides to train, we hit the ground running to learn, and there was no lack of enthusiasm! It’s always great to work with this team of dedicated frontline workers and this is only the beginning.

Looking forward to four more productive days ahead!
