The project aims to improve health among mothers, newborns and children under the age of five in 130 Bangladeshi villages. Using a community-based approach, the project provides training for 650 traditional birth attendants, establishes 35 village-level maternal and child health centres, and improves access to basic health services for local mothers. Through this project, 63,000 women and mothers, and 94,500 children under five are expected to have, for the first time, regular access to basic prenatal and postnatal care, basic health care, and trained birth attendants. Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund is working in partnership with local partner Policy Research for Development Alternative (UBINIG) on this project. This project is part of Canada's maternal, newborn and child health commitment.
