Good Mama 2024: Prenatal & Postnatal Care in Rural Communities
Within the framework of the "Good Mama 2024" project, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized two-day trainings for medical workers and CHWs on the topic "Antenatal and postnatal care for pregnant women" in 4 regions of the country.
Purpose: to increase knowledge and skills in providing quality care to pregnant women.
Participants:
- gained knowledge about anxiety signs, physiological changes, work and rest regime, nutrition, breastfeeding and family planning;
- learned how to calculate the body mass index, measure pressure, uterine height, use a pulse oximeter and an ultrasound machine.
The second day:
- practical skills in breast cancer screening and early detection;
- self-examination training for women.
We hope to create favorable conditions for pregnant and newborn children through our initiatives in the regions.

Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic is delighted to share wonderful news.
Salih Nozimov, one of the children participating in our program, has successfully completed his cancer treatment and overcome the disease. This marks an important milestone on his journey toward recovery and a healthy new chapter in life.
Over the next two to three years, Salih will remain under the regular supervision of his doctors. He will attend scheduled medical check-ups, undergo routine laboratory tests, and follow medical recommendations, including a special diet. These measures will help monitor his health and support his full recovery.
We sincerely express our gratitude to Dr. Zhanna Almazovna Kambarova, pediatric hematologist-oncologist at the National Center for Maternal and Child Welfare, for her professionalism, compassion, dedication, and invaluable contribution to Salih's treatment. Thanks to the tireless efforts of doctors and healthcare professionals, children are given the opportunity to enjoy a healthier future.
We warmly congratulate Salih and his family on this important milestone. We wish him good health, a joyful childhood, endless smiles, the fulfillment of his dreams, and a bright future ahead.
