At the International Center for Reproductive Health Kenya (ICRHK), we are proud to announce our ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of Health and UNFPA Kenya to enhance the capacity of health service providers in Baringo and Kwale counties. This initiative aims to deliver top-notch Post Abortion Care (PAC) services, ultimately transforming healthcare in these regions.
Building Capacity for Quality Care
The training program is designed to equip healthcare providers with the necessary skills and knowledge to offer high-quality PAC services. Our focus areas include:
- Cultivating the Right Attitude: Ensuring that health service providers approach PAC with empathy, professionalism, and respect for patients.
- Counseling Skills: Enhancing providers’ ability to offer compassionate and effective counseling, which is crucial for patients undergoing PAC.
- Managing Complications: Training providers to handle complications effectively, ensuring the safety and well-being of patients.
- Documenting PAC Services: Emphasizing the importance of accurate and thorough documentation to improve service delivery and patient outcomes.
A Transformative Healthcare Initiative
Our efforts in Baringo County are geared towards making a lasting impact on healthcare delivery. By improving the skills of health service providers, we aim to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality associated with unsafe abortions. This training is a critical step towards achieving sustainable healthcare improvements in the region.
Spotlight on Kwale County
In Kwale County, the training sessions were graced by notable dignitaries, including The CEC Health, Dr. Francis Gwama, and County Director of Health, Dr. Hajara. Their presence underscores the importance of this initiative and the commitment of local government officials to improving reproductive health services.
Community Wellness and Healthcare Transformation
Our collaborative efforts are not just about training; they are about transforming communities and fostering wellness. By enhancing PAC services, we are contributing to healthier communities and empowering women to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
The Way Forward
As we continue this transformative journey, we remain committed to working closely with local health authorities and international partners. Together, we can ensure that every woman in Baringo and Kwale counties has access to high-quality post-abortion care.
At ICRHK, we believe that every step towards improving healthcare services brings us closer to a healthier, more empowered society. We invite you to join us in this vital initiative.
