Explaining the objective of the training, the lead facilitator, Sister Sannoh from the District Health Management Team said that the training was geared towards improving the skills and knowledge of the PHU staff while saving lives before, during and after child birth.

The District Medical Officer, Mr. Yankuba M. Bah, congratulated the facilitators for their input and commended the trainees for their participation during the training. He however encouraged the trainees to be regularly practicing the knowledge they have acquired from the training.
“As health workers, we should always work hard to improve our skills,” he said.
