The Ogun State government has finalized the review and adoption of the integrated Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent, Elderly Health and Nutrition, RMNCAEH+N, messaging flipchart to improve healthcare delivery and communication across primary health centers, PHCs in the state.

The government, in collaboration with the Society for Family Health (SFH), through the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC 2.0) project, described the initiative as a game-changer for health communication in the state.

Speaking at the event held on Thursday, Olusola Oyewole, SFH’s DISC 2.0 Program Officer, stated that the tool is aimed at promoting uniform, consistent, and accurate health education messages across health facilities.

Dr Thomas Solarin, Director Disease Control and Immunization who facilitated the working session, emphasized the importance of the flipchart thorough review to improve message content and clarity, pictorial illustrations, cultural appropriateness and sensitivity.

He stressed that the unifying guide will simplify health education processes while enhancing the knowledge and delivery skills of frontline workers.

Central to the discussions was the adaptation of the Integrated Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent, Elderly Health and Nutrition (RMNCAEH+N) Flipchart for use across Ogun State’s health facilities.

DAILY POST reports that the flipchart is designed to merge multiple social and behavior change (SBC) communication tools into one standardized format, aimed at guiding healthcare workers in delivering consistent and accurate health information to clients.

The workshop featured interactive group sessions where participants collectively reviewed and adopted the content of the flipchart to suit the specific needs of Ogun state’s health system.
