Skills Training for Public Health Workers in ARMM and
Establishment of WellFamily Midwife Clinics (WFMC) in ARMM
Assessments of family planning skills of public health workers revealed the need to provide basic and comprehensive family planning training to those in ARMM. These include interpersonal communication skills and refresher courses.
The WFMC is a USAID-assisted private sector initiative establishing a franchise-type health service delivery approach. Private midwives receive clinical, business training and marketing support to enable them to manage a successful clinic business providing quality family planning and health services.
