Help to improve the capacity of medical staff at health centres

1. Objective

The project aims to enhance the professional capacity and practical skills of medical staff working at
grassroots health centres, thereby improving the quality of healthcare services delivered to local communities —
especially in rural and disadvantaged areas.

Specific objectives include:

  • Improve diagnostic and treatment skills via targeted, hands-on training sessions, focusing on ultrasound techniques and maternal health care.
  • Enhance preventive and community health knowledge to support early detection and timely treatment of common diseases.
  • Strengthen communication and coordination for more effective referrals between commune health centres and district hospitals.
  • Encourage community-based health initiatives (hygiene, reproductive health, disease prevention).
  • Promote collaboration with volunteer doctors to provide free medical examinations for low-income households and vulnerable groups.

2. Key Results of the Project

  1. Ultrasound training workshops delivered for medical staff at one commune health centre, covering abdominal and obstetric ultrasound with both theory and supervised practice on real cases.
  2. Improved diagnostic capability in pregnancy monitoring, identification of complications, and timely antenatal care for expectant mothers.
  3. Knowledge exchange on dentistry & oral hygiene — basic dental care, prevention practices, and early detection of oral problems for students.
  4. Better inter-professional collaboration between health workers and schools to strengthen preventive healthcare education for children.
  5. Community awareness raised through information-sharing on maternal health, nutrition, and oral hygiene.
  6. Foundation for scale-up: a replicable capacity-building model that can be extended to additional commune health centres in subsequent phases.
