MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity (USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004) Quarterly Report January 01, 2018– March 31, 2018 Submitted April 30, 2018 Cover Photo Story: Nijhum Dwip looks forward to a healthy future “I would deliver at home as I did before”, Shaheena said when she was asked what she would do if the health center were not there. Shaheena had her second baby delivered at the Nijhum Dwip (a remote island in Hatiya upazila on the south of Bangladesh) Union Health and Family Welfare Centre (UH&FWC) on the day the facility started functioning. For Shaheena, delivering at a health facility was hardly an option before. Shaheena lives in a village in Nijhum Dwip. The nearest health facility from Nijhum Dwip was in Jahajmara union which was hard-to-reach and expensive, would take at least 2-3 hours journey by engine boat and rikshaw van. For about 30,000 people who call Nijhum Dwip their home, ‘delivery at home’ had therefore been the only option. On November 1, 2017, the remote island got its first health center equipped with sufficient essentials to provide a range of basic healthcare services including normal delivery services. Six weeks later, the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC started providing 24/7 normal delivery services to the community. Now the people of Nijhum Dwip, one of the hardest-to-reach areas in Bangladesh, have the option to avail normal delivery services by skilled birth attendants around-the-clock and free of cost. The establishment of the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC represents a novel initiative undertaken by the district family planning department and local government with MaMoni HSS project playing the facilitation role. Instead of constructing a new building, they converted part of a shelter canter to house this health facility. With this new UH&FWC in place, Hatiya now has six 24/7 delivery centres, all of them upgraded through coordination with local government authorities, the district family planning department, and the MaMoni HSS Project.
