Saving Women’s Lives: Community Health Workers Are Key in Rwanda

July 30, 2013 By

Authors: MacDowell, Juliet

This success story demonstrates how CHWs can play a crucial role in educating women and families about basic health needs and maternal and newborn care. In Rwanda, the MOH uses CHWs to improve MCH; nearly 12,000 were trained by the US Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP) to strengthen their  knowledge of emergency obstetric and newborn care and active management of the third stage of labor to improve MCH care.
