Speaking to {igihe.com} Gasabo district Deputy Mayor in charge of Social Affairs Louise Uwimana said, \u201cWe are expecting a lot from CHWs in dealing with health problems and their roles have even increased on the numbers of health performances in the district.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to district health performance of last year dealing with poor feeding, the numbers rose from 69% to 87%. To reach the above rates, the district launched a campaign to sensitize mothers on better feeding of babies.<\/p>\n

CHIP representative, Laban Tsuma said that outside Rwanda people are recognizing the good work of CHWs that is happening in Rwanda .<\/p>\n

Florence Uwimana a trainee and resident of Murambi, Ruhango, Gisozi Sector and a CHW at Kagugu Health Center noted,\u201cWe were trained on how to fight child death rates and how to deal with parents who die while giving birth, and also about malnutrition among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe training has helped me mostly in treating children who are under five years and I got extra experience as compared to what I had before,\u201d she underscored.<\/p>\n

She also explained that they have been getting complexity when trying to enter into some houses because they had no identifications but during the closure of the event, they were promised to rectify the problem.<\/p>\n

The rest of CHWs from four sectors of the district will also be trained on the same program soon according to the Deputy Mayor in charge of Social Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
