PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Sierra Leone is one of the countries in which mothers and newborns die at an above-average rate. The quality of health services is not sufficient, which is due, among other things, to insufficiently trained staff.
At the same time, diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans regularly break out.
Goal
The Sierra Leonean health system is better aligned to the needs of selected population groups in the districts of Kambia, Kailahun and Pujehun.
Approach
In Kambia, Kailahun and Pujehun, the project is expanding the skills of service providers. To this end, together with the Sierra Leonean Ministry of Health, it is developing gender-sensitive training plans in the districts and training health staff in the areas of emergency obstetric and newborn care, digital and One Health. A support program in which staff from two midwifery schools advise health workers in the facilities complements training in emergency obstetric and newborn care.
At the same time, the project establishes care visits in health facilities and mechanisms with which the population can provide feedback on the quality of the facilities. This increases the quality of health services.
In addition, the project promotes the One Health approach in the three districts. This means that those responsible for human health, animal health and the environment work together in a structured manner to control epidemics more effectively.
