PROJECT PROPOSAL ABOUT REDUCTION OF POSTNATAL INFECTIONS AMONG MOTHERS

Introduction

This proposal is to educate the community on how to reduce on postnatal infections

Postnatal infections comprise of a wide range of infections entities that can occur after vaginal and caesarean delivery or during breast feeding. In addition to trauma sustained during the birth process or caesarean procedure, physiologic changes during pregnancy contribute to the development of post-partum infections. The short period f observation may not afford enough time to exclude evidence of infection. In One study, 94% of postnatal infections cases were diagnosed after discharge from the hospital. (Cunningham et al, 2005).

I am to initially get permission from church and local leaders.

I will be helped by fellow students to run activities of the project smoothly. The following are the names of the students to assist me.

1.     Tumwikirize Andrew

2.     Kembabazi Olivia

3.     Kirungi Dian

4.     Mbabazi Joan

This project will be carried out in the following places;

1.     Karambi village at church of Uganda on 15^th Jan 2017 at 12:00pm-2:300pm

2.     Kamengo church of Uganda in Kamengo village on 29^th Jan 2017 at 12:00pm-2:00pm

4.     Harugongo church of Uganda on 12^th March 2017 at 12:00pm-2:00pm

Project purpose

Many people end up with postnatal infections due to lack of knowledge and failure to inquire from health workers about postnatal care at home, hence the prevalence of infections in the Kabarole district has gone high (Kabarole District Health Management information System, 2015-16).  In One study, 94% of postnatal infections cases were diagnosed after discharge from the hospital. (Cunningham et al, 2005).

Therefore this project is vital since it is meant to achieve the following objectives.

1.     To inform the community about the postnatal infections

2.     To let mothers know the prevention of postnatal infections

Therefore the project should be sponsored to educate mothers on how to prevent postnatal infections.

Personal values

1.     I will be getting more knowledge about postnatal infections

2.     I will be getting to know to address public places

3.     I will be getting to know how to interact with different categories of people.
