About US:
The
Ministry of Health has received a one-year grant from the Reproductive Maternal
Newborn Child Health (RMNCH) Trust Fund to address key issues affecting
maternal newborn and child survival in selected high burdened, underserved
districts in Karamoja, Western and Busoga regions of Uganda. The project is
going to be implemented by Ministry of Health together with Local Governments. Among
the key issues to be addressed are the inadequacy of Reproductive Maternal
Newborn Child Health core staff especially midwives, inadequate commodities,
supplies and equipment for Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Health, poor
infrastructure for service, provision, low levels of demand for RMNCH services
and poor leadership for delivery of Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Health
services at regional and district levels. The planned interventions, which are
aimed at increasing availability, accessibility and utilization of high impact
maternal health interventions at birth and during the postnatal period, in the
selected districts include recruitment of midwives for the intervention
districts, training, mentoring and supervision of the recruited midwives on
high impact maternal health interventions.
