Being aware that traditional birth attendants (TBAs)
play an important role in assisting births in our
culturally sensitive surroundings, Greenstar embarked
a strategy to orientate 400 TBAs in 9 of the PAIMAN
districts in adopting clean delivery practices. These
TBAs will serve as advocates for skilled attendants
and maternal and newborn health needs and encouraging
women to enroll for essential pre- and postnatal care
and follow up on self-care advice and other recommendations.
Greenstar plans to train 600 GoodLife Providers in
mother and child health care.
Greenstar has also established auxiliary linkages
with local blood banks and transporters in PAIMAN
districts to provide timely and affordable services
during deliveries.
