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.
