Providers trained by AIMAS put their contraceptive technology skills into practice in Daloa and San Pedro
Lasting improvement in reproductive health depends on skilled health professionals who can deliver quality services that meet people’s needs. In line with this vision, the Ivorian Association for Social Marketing (AIMAS) continues its commitment to strengthening the skills of health providers through training in Contraceptive Technology.
After the training, participants returned to their health facilities to share what they had learned with their colleagues and improve care practices. This feedback phase is an essential step in spreading skills and strengthening the health system.
Turning knowledge into concrete action
Training is only the starting point for building skills. The real impact is measured when the knowledge gained is put into practice for the benefit of communities.
In Daloa and San Pedro, the trained providers held feedback sessions in their health facilities. These sessions made it possible to pass new knowledge on to their teams, harmonise practices and promote quality standards in family planning and reproductive health.
By encouraging this knowledge-sharing approach, AIMAS helps create a multiplier effect, in which each trained professional in turn passes on skills within their facility.
Ever better reproductive health services
Strengthening providers’ skills directly helps improve the quality of services offered to communities.
Thanks to the skills acquired in Contraceptive Technology, health professionals are better able to:
- give advice tailored to each client’s needs;
- offer a diverse range of contraceptive options based on good practice;
- improve the quality of family planning care;
- support women, couples and young people in making informed choices about their reproductive health.
This approach helps build clients’ trust in health facilities and improves access to reproductive health services.
Training one provider has an impact on a whole community
Through its training programmes, AIMAS confirms its belief that investing in health professionals’ skills is a lasting investment in communities.
Every better-trained provider is an opportunity to improve the quality of care, share reliable information and enable more people to access reproductive health services that are safe, accessible and respectful of everyone’s needs.
The feedback sessions held in Daloa and San Pedro illustrate this perfectly: the knowledge gained does not stay in the training room; it turns into concrete action in the field, for the benefit of communities.
By continuing to strengthen health providers’ skills, AIMAS is helping to build a health system that performs better and is closer to communities.
Through this approach based on knowledge transfer, experience sharing and continuous improvement of practice, the organisation reaffirms its commitment to quality reproductive health for all.
