This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Opening
The overall goal of the meeting was to discuss the challenges faced by the
CBOs in rolling out WASH in the community –schools and households. The
persons in charge were Mr. Awiti Masiga and Madam Grace Otanga.
The meeting was opened at 10.30 a.m. with a welcome statement by Kazi
Ngumu desk person, Mrs. Elizabeth, who informed the meeting that Heart
Nyakach CBO would not be represented in the meeting as they had an activity.
Afterwards, Mr. Awiti discussed the logistics and finally asked the members to
individually introduce themselves.
Workshop Session and Discussion
Madam Grace introduced the participants to the topic of WASH
implementation in schools. Some highlights on the discussion were:
Question: What was the entry point into schools?
Answer: Aphiaplus first trained school teachers on WASH without involving the
CBOs. Later on, a training was done for TOTs on monitoring and evaluation and
the TOTs given a list of the trained teachers to identify and collect reports from
them.
Question: Are the teachers supportive in the implementation of WASH?
Answer: Yes, but the support is minimal.
Question: What other challenges are there in rolling out WASH in schools?
Answers:
(i) In some schools, the teachers who were trained on
WASH have been transferred or have passed on and
there is no longer any teacher responsible. This
makes the work of the CBO really difficult as the TOTs
or Lead CHVs in charge of WASH have to approach
4. 3
the deputy head teachers in such schools who may
have absolutely no idea on how to fill the data
collection tools, as is always the case.
(ii) The schools do not own the WASH project. There is
the mentality that WASH is an Aphiaplus or CBO’s
affair. Teachers in some schools even tell the TOTs
that WASH data collection tool is an additional
burden to them.
(iii) Some schools have just one hand washing
facility provided by World Vision –ADP and shared
among a population of over 200 pupils. This forces
the pupils to be in long queues which they leave
running to classes when the bell rings.
(iv) Unavailability of water and/or soap. Some
schools claim they receive high billing and would as a
result minimize the use of water which will
unfortunately include cutting down on the water that
is used in the hand washing facilities.
Some schools also expect to be provided with soaps
and detergents for cleaning the toilets.
The participants were also asked to share how they carry out WASH-HIV
intervention. The following topics were covered:
Water treatment methods in households
Water storage methods in households
Waste disposal
Setting up of hand washing facilities in homes
Question: Are there challenges in rolling out WASH in households?
Answer: Yes, there are.
First, the biggest challenge is theft. Most hand washing facilities,
e.g. tippy taps set up next to toilets have been stolen and the
caregivers get discouraged once they have set up HW facilities
twice or more and they are stolen.
Second, some households, more so those in Nyalenda, are in
slums and due to the informal setting those households cannot
set up hand washing facilities. A case was given of a caregiver who
5. 4
was told if they needed a toilet they should relocate to another
place with one.
Third, some toilets sink and hand washing facilities swept away by
water during rainy season.
Mr. Awiti asked some of the participant to volunteer and take the members
through the process of filling the WASH collection tools (ANNEX II, III and IV),
as highlighted below.

Recommendations
1) It was recommended by Madam Grace that in future a different
approach to schools should be used, saying that the best way to
approach a school is through the ministry. She said the institutions ought
to have approached the ministry and share with them the activities
undertaken with the schools, including the names of the teachers
trained on WASH. This would help the ministry in making considerations
and ensuring the trained teacher trains another before being
transferred. She also added that this would also get rid of the mentality
that WASH is for Aphiaplus or the CBO’s affair.
2) It was recommended that teachers be motivated. This follows the
reports that have been made by TOTs of teachers frequently asking
them when trainings are going to be held, as that is the only time they
get to have some allowance in regard to the work.
3) Households to be provided with or referred to where they can get hand
washing facilities that are mobile; i.e. can easily be carried and kept in
the house at night to minimize theft of such facilities.
4) WASH TOTs, just like teachers, also need to be motivated. This follows
the incident that has seen most TOTs discouraged –they had been
promised a monthly allowance and even signed for the money but it
never came. This has had a significant influence on the delivery of
service by the TOTs.
5) It was recommended that CBOs establish a good relationship with
schools where their OVC are and even visit the schools frequently. This
would ease the process of obtaining reports from teachers.
