BOMI COUNTY HEALTH WORKERS EQUIPPED WITH LIFESAVING SKILLS

Date:

BOMI COUNTY – In an effort to tackle the pressing challenges of maternal and neonatal health, the Bomi County Health Team (CHT) has successfully completed a four-day Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EMONC) training, empowering 33 clinicians from across the county. The training, funded by the World Bank’s IFISH project under the Performance-Based Financing (PBF) scheme, was held from March 17, 2025, and brought together midwives and clinicians from 25 public health facilities, including the Liberia Government Hospital.

The intensive training focused on improving the capacity of healthcare workers to handle critical obstetric emergencies and complications that often lead to maternal and infant mortality. Over the four days, the participants were introduced to vital, lifesaving procedures such as the management of postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, and neonatal resuscitation, along with infection prevention techniques.

The hands-on sessions allowed clinicians to practice evidence-based practices and share valuable insights from their own experiences in the field. The practical skills and knowledge gained are expected to directly impact the reduction of maternal and infant deaths in Bomi County, a region where healthcare access and resources can be limited.

“This training is an essential step toward improving the quality of care for mothers and newborns in Bomi County,” said a senior facilitator from the Reproductive Health (RH) Department of Bomi CHT. “By empowering these clinicians with the right skills, we are confident that we will see significant improvements in health outcomes.”

The World Bank’s support through the IFISH project has been a crucial factor in making this training possible. The Bomi CHT also expressed its commitment to continuous professional development, emphasizing the importance of ongoing training and follow-up assessments to measure the impact of this initiative on healthcare practices and outcomes.

By strengthening the clinical skills of midwives and healthcare workers, this training represents a vital investment in the future of maternal and neonatal healthcare in Bomi County, with long-term benefits expected across the region
