Health Center Work

CBHEP works with Siem Reap health centers to improve the quality and capacity of the health care they provide. With each health center the following forms of training are conducted:

Nurse Training: Targeting Health Center nurses specifically, CBHEP nurse training identifies training needs, develops problem solving, and encourages effective practice such as regular operating hours.
Health Center Training(HCT): HCT is an intensive training program provided by AHC. The program covers nursing, essential drugs, and health promotion. Training also includes practical experience in patient consultation, minor surgery and emergency care and is supported by lectures on child health, disease symptoms and treatment.
Management Training: Sakhem, the CBHEP project manager also provided health center management training. He provides training in leadership skills, problem solving, finances, job descriptions and contracts.
Outreach Work: According to national guidelines, each health center should provide outreach services to the community it serves at least once a month. CBHEP nurses work with health center staff to develop this work which includes; health promotion, immunization, growth monitoring, vitamin supplementation, deworming, birth spacing, symptomatic malaria treatment, patient referral and follow up of TB and leprosy patients.
Additional Clinics: AHC also provides supplementary clinics, such as dental services at the health centers on a regular basis.
Physical Infrastructure: In order to provide quality services the health centers require an adequate physical environment. CBHEP helps to improve water systems, provide and install necessary tools (scales, demonstration gardens) and improve communication between health centers and the Provincial Health Department (to in turn improve funding and equipment).
