This innovative approach aims to train and deploy community health workers to provide comprehensive antenatal care services directly to women in their communities. These trained community health workers will be equipped with the skills to screen for high-risk pregnancies,provide education and counseling, conduct basic antenatal examinations, and refer women who need additional medical attention.
The concept aims to bridge the gap between women in rural or under served areas and formal healthcare facilities by bringing essential antenatal care services to their communities. Community health workers will receive extensive training on antenatal care guidelines and protocols, effective communication, and counseling skills. They will work closely with existing healthcare providers and facilities, ensuring a seamless referral system for women requiring specialized care.
