The MaMoni HSS program placed her at the Char Kakra UH&FWC in 2015 as a temporary measure to ensure delivery care would be available until the MOHFW could fill the position. This is the second temporary placement that Mrs. Khatum has filled for MaMoni HSS in a program-supported area: she first worked in the Durgapur UH&FWC as a temporary paramedic placed by MaMoni HSS in that union. In the upazila of Companiganj, most pregnant women choose to deliver in expensive private facilities or risk Rebena Khatun enterin data of newborn in her TAB. delivery at home. However, when Rebena Khatum arrived at the Char Kakra UH&FWC, she was able to provide antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care free of charge and in a hygienic environment. She also provides 24/7 normal vaginal delivery services for the women of Char Kakra and surrounding unions. MaMoni HSS also ensured that Rebena is up to date on her skillsets for maternal and newborn care. Project-supported trainings that she has participated in have covered antenatal care, normal vaginal delivery, active management of third stage of labor, postnatal care, essential newborn care, infection prevention, and detection and management of complications, such as SPE/E. She is also trained in electronic records management and uses her tablet to track and report provided care to the MOHFW. In addition to her paramedic course that was completed in 2006, these trainings have qualified her as a skilled birth attendant. Rebena Khatum is now beloved, trusted, and relied on by the women and communities of Char Kakra and the four surrounding unions of Musapur, Rampur, Char Fakira, CharChae Elahi. From October of 2017 to September of 2018, Rebena Khatum conducted 2382 antenatal care visits, 546 normal vaginal deliveries, and 884 postnatal care visits. On the 2018 International Day of Rural Women, Rebena Khatum was honored for this remarkable service and was selected as the best skilled birth attendant in Companiganj upazila.
