Additional Information
After the launch of the Integrated Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Personal Health Record, the Joint Agency Harmonisation Task Force on Integrated Maternal Newborn and Child Health made several recommendations for its use:
(1) The Task Force recommended that the production and implementation of the PHRB for national use should be fast tracked. (2) The Task Force recommended that the tool should be pre-tested in selected facilities, with the view to pilot it under the Midwives Service Scheme (MSS). (3) The Task Force recommended that the initial seed stock of 200,000 copies be urgently procured for the 156 LGAs selected for the MSS, and 18 LGAs for the NHIS-MDG’s MCH project as a pilot. (4) Task Force recommended that the FMOH, NPHCDA, NHIS, NBS, NPC, and development agencies should partner with the WBF for the supply of initial seed stock. (5) Task Force recommended that to ensure sustainability, the PHRB should be domiciled in the NPHCDA of the FMOH, while support may be sought from the organised private sector.
