“I was always looking forward for the Skilled Birth Attendant training. I am very happy that I am in the process of being one from the scholarship of One Heart World Wide. We were facing difficulties to manage natural deliveries, let alone the complicated ones. Because none of the medical staff working at the Tokarpur Health Facility had the training. So our only option was to refer the women to the other nearby health facilities. It was an added difficulty for the women in this rural community during pregnancy and childbirth. Thus, delivery at our birthing center was very low.
Our birthing center is also in the last phase of renovation, also supported of One Heart, along with all the needed equipment. After the completion of my SBA training, we will be able to give holistic pregnancy and childbirth service at our birthing center, which is a major progress for this locality and its people. Increasing the Antenatal check-ups and deliveries at our birthing center will be the next step, which, I believe, will naturally improves, in sync with the upgrade in the service.”
