Our Children are our future. Therefore helping them live strong healthy life starting from conception is integral to that healthy future. The PHF child and maternal health strengthening initiative is focused on contributing to building this healthy future.
We aim to provide capacity building programmes through strengthening skill and capabilities of healthcare workers who are involved in the care of maternity services, early year services for children and support to mothers to ensure improved child survival and improved maternal health.
A key project under the strand is the Neonatal Resuscitation Training. We aim to build partnership with governments across the country to provide this capacity building programme through regular interactions between experts and frontline staff involved service delivery at all levels.
PHF looks to set up medical centres at party offices at the National HQ and state offices to operate and provide medical care to party staff. The clinic shall operate under the following terms.
Promote accessible qualitative healthcare for staff and members as a practical way of promoting social democratic values at grassroots level.
The medical centre(s) will run as social enterprise (non-profit) organisations by ensuring that all profits are reinvested into the service.
All party staff are expected to enrol/register into the programme and pay an amount into the project fund commensurate with their earning, based on percentage from their medical allowance.
PHF will continuously raise funds from diverse but legitimate sources both local and from international donors to ensure continuous access to high quality services.
Party members who are medical and allied health professionals will be encouraged to provide services as well as run skill transfer programmes as services to the party.
