In 2004, CFHI began to
augment the services of the clinic and health camps by training nine women as Community Health Promoters or CHPs. These women were elected by their
villages to join in trainings over the course of three years.
After three
years, the women have undergone many trainings on topics and skills such as:
health behavior, health education, assessment of the basic health need of the
community, neo-natal care, child illness, family planning, routine
immunization, promotional, preventive and curative strategies in safe
motherhood and child survival, key areas of community interaction like
nutrition, precaution and rest of ante-natal and post-natal mothers, and
finally the use of technical instruments in a primary health program.
