1st story: Leila

After several successive miscarriages I was in a second psychological condition, I didn’t know the reason of this problem for want of awareness. I didn’t find any help in my family so I went regularly to the clinic to talk with the health agents. After several hours of discussion the team work explain to me that I could be pregnant again and that they will help me in this way.

After two months, I went back to see them, I was pregnant. The doctor examined me thoroughly and gave me some recommendations for a good pregnancy follow-up.

From the seventh month I began a regular follow-up – home visits and regular consultations at the clinic. Finally I gave birth to a wonderful healthy little boy.

2nd story: Soraya

At the beginning I was reluctant to participate to the awareness meetings organized by the health agents; I even declined the home visits.

After a lot of discussions with the teamwork I decided to be present at the meetings in the clinic and to attend regularly the awareness lessons. I learned many new things about health and hygiene for all my family. 

One day I noticed that my blood pressure was very high, and then I remembered the advice of the doctor telling us that in this case we should drink karkadé.

After a difficult delivery of my last child, I decided to participate to the child health program to be able to handle a proper follow-up of my infant.

3rd story : Rasha, health agent

The health program gave me the opportunity to assert myself and to feel stronger. I learned to fight fatality and to make the things I want possible.

On a professional point of view I learned how to participate in public meetings, to express myself in front of community leaders and most of all in front of the whole community. Nevertheless this experience was quite difficult and trying, but I went through it to the end and I persevered.
