| Construction Modality | : | |
| Support Period | : | 2020 - 2021 |
| Current Status | : | Completed |
The region of Namkha, where Limi Valley is located, does not have a working health facility. There is one single state health post which is never occupied. Long distances and a lack of alternatives make it impossible for the local population to seek professional medical assistance for medical check-ups, emergency situations and births.
Therefore, Chay Ya, in cooperation with the local government and community, is building a health and maternity ward, where all residents, especially mothers and children can receive optimal medical care. Special attention is to be paid to pre- and postnatal care, as well as the reduction of mother-child mortality.
A committee of at least 33% women will be formed to monitor and evaluate the project. It is composed of community officials, a locally elected community member, a representative of Chay Ya, a health post representative, a member of the women’s group and a journalist/teacher.
Sustainability: The local government is participating in the project with 20% of the construction costs and will cover the personnel expenses after completion of the building.
