Mamoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004 Quarterly Report October 01, 2017– December 31, 2017 MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004 Quarterly Report October 01, 2017– December 31, 2017 Submitted February 07, 2018 MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity: FY18 Q1 Quarterly Report 1 Cover Photo Story: Paramedic Kirtonia recognized for her work The Union Health and Family Welfare Centre at Putijuri union in Bahubal Upazila, Habiganj was in bad shape when Smriti Kirtonia, a paramedic supported by the MaMoni HSS project, joined the facility in May 2016. The facility infrastructure was inadequate and there was little interest in the community to seek health services from the facility. Over the next year and a half, the situation improved considerably, thanks to the efforts of Kirtonia. Kirtonia started conducting eight satellite sessions a month in her catchment area to provide maternal, newborn, child health, family planning and nutrition services and used the platform to encourage mothers to visit the health facility to access services. In the union follow-up meetings, she entreated health workers to keep contact with expectant mothers over the phone. Like many paramedics or FWVs, she did not limit her services to only the official timeline (8:30 am to 2:30 pm). Instead, she started living in the FWV quarter and would readily extend her services around the clock with a smile on her face, effectively making the facility a 24/7 service delivery point. Very soon her reputation spread in the community and to villages even further out and mothers from the neighboring unions started coming to her. The service utilization in her facility started to soar - ANC visits rose from counts of about 30-40 to around 200, while the number of deliveries conducted at the facility increased from 3-5 per month to 18-20 per month. Kirtonia’s skill and dedication - reflected in the ever-growing flow of health service seekers - earned her official recognition in December 2017. Amarillo Kibria Keya Chowdhury, a Member of the Parliament from Bahubal, handed over the best service provider award to Kirtonia. “If I can help people and serve them, that’s what I consider as my biggest achievement,” says Kirtonia upon her receipt of the award.

Sci., 4(1): 85-92, 2010. ABSTRACT Bangladesh is a developing country with the majority of population residing in rural areas lacking proper access to modern medicinal facilities. Folk medicinal practitioners (Kavirajes) form the primary health-care providers to the vast majority of rural population as well as a substantial number of the urban population, who cannot afford the price of allopathic medicines. Kavirajes rely on medicinal plants for treatment of ailments. This expertise on medicinal plant usage varies widely between Kavirajes of different areas and even can differ substantially between Kavirajes of adjoining villages. The objective of the present study was to conduct an ethnomedicinal survey of Kavirajes in Shitol Para village of Jhalokati district, Bangladesh.

    MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity (USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004) Quarterly Report April 01– June 30, 2017 Joint Efforts to Restore Confidence in Health Care Delivery System Char Folcon Union Health & Family Welfare Center (UH&FWC) – the image of transformation Submitted August 4 2017 Cover Story: Char Folcon Union is a rural community in Komolnagar Upazila of Lakshmipur district. The Union Health and Family Welfare Center (UH&FWC) was established in 1982 by DGFP of MoH&FW. Since the UH&FWC is the closest access point for health services for the community, its functionality is critical for saving lives and serving the community, particularly women and children who are under privileged and the most vulnerable. Previously, services at the facility were very poor due to scarce resources, limited availability of health workers, and poor quality of care. It was not unusual to find the facility locked and ill-equipped to provide services for maternal emergencies, including stock-outs of key consumables that are life-saving during such emergencies. To compound the situation, the center had very poor infrastructure, including a leaky roof, broken windows, and cracked walls and ceiling; there was also no access road, power, or water supply. This unsanitary situation in the clinic was worsened by the lack of a functional residence and toilet facility for service providers, making it difficult to ensure staff were available to attend maternal and newborn emergencies. The MaMoni HSS program set out to transform this facility into a functional facility where the community could expect to receive quality care and services.

Although the local authorities ignore the recyclable solid waste materials during waste management activity, a number of self-waste collectors and dealers have been performing recycling activity as a source of acquirement for long periods of time in Bangladesh. In our present study, a traditional recycling practice of solid waste was executed and analyzed in Sadar Upazila of Noakhali, Bangladesh. This study also identified a complete concatenation from waste collectors to recycling industries in different private sectors. The study revealed that 41% metal, 37% paper, 14% tin and 8% plastic of Sonapur was recycled daily. On the other hand, the study also revealed that 44% metal, 21% paper, 19% tin and 16% plastic of Maijdee was recycled daily.

  • Newsletter on Mamoni Health Systems Strengthening
    Newsletter Issue 2 Combating neonatal deaths by national scale-up of Chlorhexidine application for newborn umbilical cord care Newborn infection is one of the three major causes of neonatal deaths in Bangladesh. But there are measures, pretty low-cost and efficient, to protect newborns from catching infections. Application of 7.1% Chlorhexidine solution when applied to newborn umbilical cord is found by research to have led to 20% reduction on “all-cause mortality”. In Bangladesh MaMoni HSS is supporting the MoHFW to scale up nationally the use of CHX to cut down neonatal death. As a part of this endeavor the project is now providing training to health workers at all levels including doctors, nurses, SACMOs, FWVs, FWAs, HAs, CHCPs etc. In the first phase, the project has completed roll out in 20 districts of Photo: Save the Children/Abir Abdullah the Children/Abir Save Photo: Sylhet, Barisal and Dhaka division. Strengthening UH&FWCs to provide 24/7 normal delivery 1348 UH&FWCs of three divisions assessed The Health Population Nutrition Sector Development Program (HPNSDP) has identified expanding skilled birth attendance at institutional level as a priority intervention. Taking the cue MaMoni HSS Project has targeted the Union Health and Family Welfare Centers (UH&FWC) to facilitate a higher share of delivery by skilled midwives. With this objective of taking institutional delivery to the doorstep of the underserved rural community, the project is supporting the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) to work out a development plan for these union-level facilities. The starting point is a comprehen- sive assessment of all the UH&FWCs of the country.
