The maternal and child health programme in Chad

The aim of this book is to highlight the efforts made by the Chadian government and its partners to improve the quality of health care for mothers and children. It also aims to examine the WHO’s communication strategy in the implementation of the Maternal and Child Health Program in Chad, in order to assess its effectiveness and influence on the target population, while proposing appropriate solutions to contribute effectively to the reduction of the maternal and infant mortality rate in Chad. Communication is an essential lever in the implementation of any maternal and child health policy. It raises awareness among women, their families and husbands, as well as traditional, administrative and religious authorities, of the risks associated with pregnancies not attended by qualified health personnel, and with the lack of child immunization.
