Client Perspectives
CHNs are more confident and clients are happier and trust
the information they receive
â[She] is educating you, you will know that that is the right thing
for you to do because she does it with evidence...she made me
know that itâs good for me to do what she is saying rather than
she saying it without any proof.â - Client, South Tongu
âThe [visit when] she used the phone was better because
you get to understand more⌠Her knowledge was
better [when she had the phone] because she knew
what she was doing.â âClient, Ningo Prampram
CHNs used the PoC module to counsel clients on nutrition and
pregnancy (danger signs for example)
23. www.innovationsformnch.org
ď˝ 95% installed all five FP courses
ď˝ 78% installed all 7 MNCH courses
ď˝ In 8 of the 14 available courses, the average final exam
score earns a pass
ď˝ The most popular course is FP 101, but the course
with the most completions is Diarrheal Disease

East/West
26. www.innovationsformnch.org

easily refer to the phone and that has boost
their clinical knowledge and gives them

Targets:
Reasons for use
Set targets and goals
View progress
Self-evaluate
Supervisors use information to
keep track of CHNs and
advise them
âSo, when you
update it, it tells you
that you have
achieved this target.
It tells us what we
have achieved and
what we have not
achieved.â â CHN,
Ada East/West
âThe setting targets it also helps the nurse to know this
is where I am heading to and will I be able to achieve it
by this date. So you push the nurse and remind them
that you are not performing and you should do this, do
this.â âSupervisor, South Tongu
36. www.innovationsformnch.org
Targets:
Potential
To be used as
supervisory tool across
all cadres of health
workers and as
supervisory tool for
performance monitoring
â[M]ost times her
events do not show. So
when I call or
WhtasApp her and she
set her targets, she
call[s] me on phone to
recheck again whether
it has come. Pertaining
to just the last two
weeks, I WhatsApp
most of the nurses
because most of their
events are not
showing...â âSupervisor,
SouthTongu
37. www.innovationsformnch.org
Recognition
& Respect
âYes it has given us much respect
because it creates communication and
assurance between us and the clients.â
â CHN,Ada East/West
âIf they are doing well I praise
them, and if they are not
doing well, I see that you are
not even reading these things
at all, you will have to share it
with them.â âSupervisor, Ningo
Prampram

Connectedness
Relevant Modules:
WhatsApp

Impression
of the App âIt is very beneficial because it makes the work
easy.And I also feel connected to friends, family,
and colleagues.â â CHN, South Dayi
âThe phone has helped me in general with my
workâŚpreviously we were finding it difficult to
send information to our in charges and our
friends. But now with the phone, we are able to
WhatsApp it.And with the Planner, it helps to
remind us of what we have to do that day.â âCHN,
Ningo Prampram
56. www.innovationsformnch.org
âThis intervention was sent at the right place, at the
right time for the right peopleâŚ.
Because of this phone, our district has become
smaller âŚ..
Because of the phone we are able to send information
quicklyâŚ
We are able to see conditions on the field, take
photographs and send it.â
