Child Health and Development. (CHD) and immunization Despite remarkable achievement in reducing mortality in children under the age of five in Ethiopia, many children and newborns are still dying of preventable causes. Various proven packages of life-saving newborn and child health programs and interventions have been introduced and rolled-out at scale. IMNCI, ICCM/CBNC, and EPI programs are among the key interventions to reach children with services at the HC and HP levels. Challenges were identified through routine program monitoring activities and various assessments and discussed during child health theme team meeting. The major findings include: ● Poor quality of care ● Low level of use of IMNCI/ICCM, CBNC services ● Shortage of essential drugs at HPs ● Poor training database at woreda level ● High EPI defaulter rates, and poor tracing ● Poor cold chain management mechanisms. ● Lack of community based registration that misleads performance (>100% coverage) The interventions of the Transform Primary Health care project include gap-filling training, pre-deployment ICCM/CBNC training, follow up, coaching, mentoring; review meetings at PHCU level; integration of Immunization in practice (IIP) training with cold chain maintenance; Involving project drivers in cold chain and medical equipment maintenance; and integration of EPI with ICCM training for HEWs. Additionally, activities like defaulter tracing mechanism in health centers and health posts and distribution of child health drugs and commodities through PFSA (Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency) need to be strengthened. The interventions under the CHD and EPI thematic area are implemented in collaboration with RHBs, ZHDs, and XxxXXx and other partners to avoid duplication. Onsite CE is conducted at HCs without interrupting routine health activities and helps to solve the problem of high turnover of trained staff, since most health workers are trained. During the reporting period, technical support to the MOH was given at all levels, including introduction of MCV2 (measles-containing vaccine), and HPV2 (human papilloma virus vaccine), and revision of IMNCI, ICCM/CBNC, follow-up, and review meeting guides. Technical and logistic support was provided during polio sub NID (National Immunization Day) in semi-pastoralist areas. During EPI and cold chain maintenance trainings, refrigerators and medical equipment were installed and maintained, which saved a lot of money. IMNCI training was provided for 156 health workers (46 Oromia, 22...

Child Health and Development. (CHD) and immunization Child health and development and immunization training gap identification at each level of the health system were targeted during the quarter. The project staff and each level of the public health system staff were engaged in this endeavor. After the assessment gaps were identified; which includes high turnover of trained HWs, poor quality of service, non-functionality of EPI refrigerators, and medical equipment’s. Gap filling capacity enhancement trainings were organized. These trainings include HWs and HEWs training on Integrated Management of Common Childhood and Newborn Illnesses (IMNCI), Integrated Community Case Management/ Community Based Newborn Care (ICCM/CBNC) and Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI). Most activities implemented during the reporting period focuses on various capacity enhancement trainings including IMNCI/ICCM/CBNC, EPI, cold chain maintenance, and the regular 4-6 weeks post training follow up visits by the cluster staff, together with woreda and health center staffs to reinforce translation of knowledge and skill acquired from the training in to practice. EPI is one of the low cost high impact interventions being implemented since 1980s in the health system in order to contribute to the reduction of under-five morbidity and mortality. But this intervention has a lot of challenges in the implementation process which were related to the cold chain system, supply of the required antigens and other supplies, turnover of trained health workforce , recording, reporting and analysis of data and use of generated data for action, high service dropout rate and poor defaulter tracing mechanisms are some to mention. Transform: Primary Health Care project routine EPI technical support areas focus on addressing these challenges that existed for long time. As the main actors of the intervention are health extension workers the project targets them for capacity enhancement trainings and to improve the coverage and quality of routine EPI services. Integration of EPI with ICCM/CBNC trainings for HEWs was designed by Transform: Primary Health Care project because the targets for both interventions were the same. Integrated training material was organized and field tested in Oromia region. Two sessions of the integrated training was conducted and 59 HEWs trained. The practical attachment session of ICCM /CBNC plus EPI has given the HEWs an opportunity to learn from HCs and hospitals without additional time and cost. The FMOH...
