Samasha was contracted by the Ministry of Health through the Uganda Reproductive Maternal Child Health Services Improvement Project to provide consultancy services for clinical skills update and mentorship for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn,Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) in the Busoga/Bukedi region.

The objective of the assignment is to coordinate and supervise the Health Professional Associations (HPAs) and Regional Referral Hospitals (RRHs) in the implementation and provision of clinical mentorship program in the regions (Busoga and Bukedi) and facilitate the programme to achieve its goal and objective.

It’s a 12months project.
The Specific objectives are

  1.  In collaboration and working with Health Professional Associations and respective Regional Referral Hospitals, prepare and submit a detailed and costed proposal for providing the clinical mentorship programme for all the health workers in Health Centres IIIs and IVs and hospitals of the specified region (s) (and the districts therein) of the country
