and build capacities of the project level stakeholders including
ANMs, AWWs, PRI members, women SHG members, etc. for improving
the quality of RCH services in general and safe motherhood

and |
|
Deliver quality safe motherhood
and RCH services by establishing health centers accessible

After the MoU was signed
with all the agencies, the project staff were recruited by
the implementing agencies. Orientation training was given
to the project staff by ARTH on RH and how to set up a community
based 24 hour centre for maternal health services. |
| |
| The identification of Nurse-Midwives, who were trained by ARTH for 3 months,
was done by the NGOs for their project areas. ARTH developed a manual for training
nurses. Also, the space to start the maternal health centre was identified within
the project area and necessary equipment purchased based on the suggestions given
by ARTH.

The Village Health Workers
(VHWs) and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) have been
identified in all the villages and orientation training was
started. The field clinics plans have been made and the nurse
midwives are visiting the field in turn as planned.
