Our one-week Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) training program was successfully completed in the presence of Mr. Scott Hamilton, President of Dooley InterMed, and a dedicated team of doctors from the United States.
The program was further honored by the presence of Dr. Jamun Prasad Singh, Executive Director of Madhesh Institute of Health Sciences, who emphasized the critical role of capacity-building trainings for FCHVs in improving community health outcomes across Madhesh Province. Mr. Binay Kumar Yadav, Mayor of Nagarain Municipality, also expressed his sincere gratitude for organizing such an impactful training in his municipality.
This intensive training was provided to 20 outstanding FCHVs selected from four municipalities and rural municipalities of Dhanusha District.
Notably, this is the first-ever one-week comprehensive training for FCHVs, covering essential areas such as:
• Vital health check-ups
• Non-communicable diseases
• Nutrition
• Gynecology
• Eye care
• Disease prevention and referral systems
All participating FCHVs received transportation allowances and complete training kits. Many FCHVs shared that despite serving their communities for over 25 years, this was the most practical and effective training they had ever received—especially with the provision of essential medical equipment.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dooley Intermed for their continued support in making such meaningful programs possible. Special thanks to Reiyukai Eiko Masunaga Eye Hospital for excellent local coordination, logistics, and skilled trainers, and most importantly, to the dedicated and enthusiastic FCHVs who are the backbone of community health.
We look forward to organizing similar training programs in the near future.
