Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
MoPH Afghanistan with my leadership piloted two “best practices” (Integrated Health Post and Friday Cleaning Campaign) in 4 provinces (Kabul, Herat, Jawzjan and Nangarhar) for one year (2011-2012). These two best practices were observed during a study tour of Indonesia and Bangladesh and were determined to be feasible in the context of Afghanistan as well as having the potential for a significant impact. Both Indonesia and Bangladesh have wellestablished community-based health care a program from which there is much to learn. The main purpose of this project was to promote healthy lifestyles through community involvement and empowerment. The project goal is to contribute to the reduction of maternal and child mortality and morbidity through families adopting best practices that promote healthy behaviors in the community. The objectives of project were to increase access to basic health services(ANC ,delivery plan, PNC, F.P, GMP, ,ORT corner , and effective referral system) at the door site and other to improve health and nutrition status of U5Y children through promoting knowledge of the community in use of essential nutrients and healthy cooking practices in their houses. Other objectives were to document evidence of feasibility of inclusion of such interventions in the national CBHC package, and to promote hygiene and environmental sanitation practices in villages of the related Integrated Health Post IHP by cleaning up the surroundings area twice a month and to decreases risk factors of communicable diseases (diarrhea diseases, intestinal worms, typhoid, malaria, Leishmaniasis, and TB) in intervention sites. Four teams conducted the assessment and interviewed PPHOs, NGOs, CBHC officers, health facility staff, CHWs, and community members. After completing the data collection component of the EOP assessment in 4 provinces, the CBHC team then analyzed the data and compiled the report, presented to the MoPH authorities and integrated the Friday cleaning campaigns in to the revised CBHC strategy [1-3].
