✔️ Primary health care workers and Community Health Promoters (CHPs) remain the basic unit and an integral part of our health system. They are often the first point of contact for families at the grassroots level and play a vital role in ensuring that communities are informed, supported, and connected to essential services through effective referral pathways.
✔️ We held an interactive session to sensitize CHPs on the Department of Health And Sanitation - Siaya and the national Post-Abortion Care guidelines. The dissemination focused on articles addressing issues related to Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights , Maternal and Child Health , and the needs of Adolescent Girls and Young Women and access to medical safe abortion information and services, With this knowledge, CHPs are better equipped to cascade information and strengthen linkage between communities and health facilities.
✔️ The session emphasized the importance of enhancing information sharing with AGYWs, improving referral linkages from the community to health facilities, and empowering CHPs to act as trusted connectors between households and the broader health system. By continuously equipping CHPs with the right knowledge on health policies, frameworks, guidelines, and tools, we continue to advocate for implementation of these policies to advance access to quality care.
