The SBA trainings are designed to enhance the capabilities of ANM and Staff Nurses (SNs) at District Hospitals, Community Health Centers (CHCs), and Primary Health Centers (PHCs) to improve the quality of intrapartum and newborn care and achieve better maternal and newborn health outcomes. In November 2022, a gender e-module was integrated into the SBA training to ensure gender-responsive service provision. As this cadre directly interacts with the end users i.e. mothers, newborns, and families, their ability to provide gender-responsive care significantly impacts the trust of end users in the healthcare system and utilisation of the health services.
The video aims to capture the impact of the gender e-module training at Uma Shankar Dixit Women’s Hospital in Unnao and the steps taken by the staff and leadership to make the facility more gender-responsive, inclusive and equitable.
