In a couple of months we hope to showcase some of the health facility teams that have graduated from our leadership program. We are in the process of selecting the best teams, those that have taken leadership to heart and have improved one or another of the ministry’s priority health services: deliveries with skilled birth attendants (in health facilities), TB detection, antenatal visits, etc.
Most of the teams sent us documentation in Dari. In a tedious process of line-by-line translations I finally got a glimpse of what is happening in these third or fourth generation leadership programs that are taught by people who were taught by people who were at some point taught by me.
The language barrier had kept me from following these later generations and the results of their leadership attempts. But the time had come to pay closer attention.
I was pleasantly surprised about the work of the first team we reviewed – there were some things that needed further investigation, explanation, more precision but all in all their analysis was not bad and the result of their work led to actions and interventions that benefited women who would otherwise have delivered without skilled care.
