About AIM Health Plus Project:
The AIM Health Plus Programme is a 5-year infant and maternal health
programme, funded by Irish Aid. It is being implemented in 8 World Vision areas

provision. Digital health technology will also be embedded in this programme,
in line with Ministry of Health policy, to accelerate and amplify maternal and
