Supportive site visits and continuous communication with the central CRADLE team.
Community health sensitisation activities to support key maternal health messages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vital Progress

301 pregnant women were seen as part of the outreach activities in Western Area Urban district in the first month.
As reported by one CRADLE Champion: "You want to do outreach but if you do not have everything in the midst of...corona[virus], you will not be able to do your work. Because of the supplies given, we can do it and we can do more.
