That is the goal of the specialized training course "Guiding propaganda skills, counseling and technical expertise in prenatal and neonatal screening, diagnosis and treatment" for grassroots health workers organized by the Department of Population - Family Planning of Ca Mau province on the morning of November 12. This is the opening activity for a series of 4 training courses deployed from November 12 to 28, with the participation of about 1,200 population collaborators in the province.

Each training class attracts about 300 trainees, who are grassroots population collaborators.

At the training course, trainees were informed of the regulations of the Government and the Ministry of Health , including Decision No. 1999/QD-TTg dated December 7, 2020 of the Prime Minister approving the Program to expand screening, diagnosis and treatment of some prenatal and neonatal diseases and disabilities by 2030. In addition, the content on technical guidance, consulting - communication skills, data collection and reporting was also presented vividly and easily understood, helping trainees to effectively apply it to practical work.

Not only providing theoretical knowledge, the training course is also a forum for exchanging and sharing experiences, focusing on clarifying difficulties in the process of implementing screening at the grassroots level, and at the same time proposing solutions to improve the effectiveness of propaganda and access to quality medical services.

Ms. Tran Le Chieu Bich, Head of the Department of Population and Family Planning of Ca Mau province, affirmed the special importance of improving knowledge and skills in counseling and communication for medical staff and population collaborators.

Speaking at the training course, Ms. Tran Le Chieu Bich, Head of the Department of Population and Family Planning of Ca Mau province, emphasized: "Improving knowledge and skills in counseling and communication for medical staff and population collaborators is of special importance in the current period, when the population sector is shifting its focus from "family planning" to "improving population quality".

Implementing Resolution No. 21-NQ/TW of the 6th Central Conference, Session XII, the population sector of Ca Mau province is striving towards the goal of building a healthy population and improving the quality of the race. Up to now, Ca Mau has implemented prenatal and newborn screening activities in 100% of communes, wards and towns. The initial results are very positive: more than 80% of pregnant women have access to information and communication about the significance of screening; about 70% of pregnant women are counseled and screened for at least 4 common congenital diseases and 70% of newborns are screened according to the basic service package.

These results affirm the efforts of the Ca Mau health sector in expanding access to high-quality screening services, aiming to reduce birth defects, protect the race and improve population quality, for a healthy and happy future for future generations.
