After a period of suspension for the implementation of social spacing to prevent the Covid-19 at the request of the Vietnamese government, the project was restarted on May 26 with a two-day training course. The training course aims to provide information to 40 trade union officials and health workers of 20 enterprises in Hai Phong in skills provision of information (for workers) on reproductive health, maternity depression, and nutrition for women of reproductive age as well as children in the first 1,000 days of life.
After the training, as of July 6, 2020, 13 communications sessions were conducted at factories of companies including Aurora, Reginal Miracle International, Chilisin, Yazaky, Nomura Fortranco and Nhat Viet. These are all foreign-invested enterprises and most of them are located in two large industrial zones in Hai Phong, VSIP and Nomura.
Ms. D.T.P., trade's union chair of Aurora company, said that the project's activities are really practical for employees. According to Ms. Dong Thi Phuong, the project activities will help employees improve their health so that they can be assured of working as well as being able to produce and nurture healthy children while working at the company.
Ms. D.T.P.'s share is completely consistent with the number of people attending the communications sessions. Accordingly, although the project only aims to attract 150 participants/session, there are actually sessions to attract up to 330 participants.
According to the plan agreed by the For Vietnamese Stature Foundation with partners and donors, in July the project will prioritize to implement communication sessions on reproductive health, then continue to carry out the communication sessions on nutrition and maternity depression. For mobile reproductive health checkup and counseling activity, the parties have agreed not to implement in phase 4 due to the lack of sponsors as well ass partners responsible for the expertise.
