The Senegal Health Services Improvement Project supported the Senegalese Ministry of Health and Medical Prevention's efforts to improve maternal and child mortality and morbidity rates, as well as increase access to family planning services. Launched in 2006, this project focused on several interrelated goals:
This project worked with the President’s Malaria Initiative in Senegal to prevent malaria cases and reduce malaria deaths among pregnant women and children under five. Along with NetMark and the CCF Consortium, IntraHealth supported insecticide-treated mosquito net distribution, intermittent preventative treatment, and enhanced nutrition for pregnant women, as well as increasing awareness of and demand for these services. The project also provided technical support to train health care service providers with the aim of improving their performance and encouraging appropriate malaria treatment.
This work was continued under the Health Services Improvement Project.
