SAFWCO’s health sector has embarked upon the mission to highlight and work on issues related to children and mother’s health, environment and healthcare that plays a significant role in affecting people’s socioeconomic life. SAFWCO has a firm belief that only healthy and educated communities can contribute to the development and uplift of societies.

Primary Health care and MNCH Projects have embedded convergence with nutritional education for mothers and children under five. SAFWCO has trained hundreds of birth attendants and CHWs to help women to have safe deliveries and to minimise infections to reduce levels of maternal mortality. SAFWCO health projects have provided postnatal care to mothers and newborn babies, providing reproductive health information to women, especially adolescents and facilitate parenting education sessions that focus on nutrition, breastfeeding and simple methods for preventing diseases such as malaria and water-borne diseases.

The main objectives of the health programme are to:

• Make people aware of health issues and preventions from pandemics including COVID-19, HIV, Hepatitis B, C etc;
• Provide primary health care services in areas having no health facility;
• Provide CMAM services through MNCH centers in villages
• Provide Nutritional education to female community members
• Decrease MMR and IMR through safe reproductive health care; and
• Prepare village volunteers as paramedical force.
• Information dissemination through published material and leaflets
