TESTIMONIES FROM HEALTH CARE WORKERS
Matron Cynthia: The programme is so good, in fact all women need to be enlightened or sensitized. Most ladies have skills in hair dressing, catering, cooking, degrees etc but no one has skill in smarter maternal and newborn. It is left to chance and medical care.
- Nurse Joy: The programme may require seminars where couples should participate. It has to be a movement that certifies couples on smarter Newborn for better career, health and attitude in the society.
- Matron Lizzy: Immunization participants deserve to learn about Smarter Newborn Strategies as most of them are already positioned to conceive sooner or later. They need to pass the message to their husbands with fliers.
- Nurse Aisha: In my opinion Nurses deserve to be trained as co-lecturers because they are stakeholders on issues of maternal, newborn and child health.
- Matron Halima: Couples in the city need the smarter newborn information is because most of them are stressed up due to city lifestyle and career.
- HOD Nursing: The pregnant women were well empowered;
Better preparation and planning before pregnancy
To avoid certain harmful drugs, infections, parasite and heat
Avoid anger and stress during pregnancy as much as possible
Realize baby construction takes place before antenatal
That construction is done by mothers
We wish the sensitization programme should be extended to rural women.
