When we say the health of mother and child, we mean the family. Once this is threatened, the family too is under threat,\u201d said Jackson Vugayabagabo, the Head of Knowledge Development and Dissemination Department at Imbuto Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week is an opportune time to deliver different services to the people who have not been able to get them from health centres.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vugayabagabo added that the Foundation\u2019s 20th anniversary presents not only a moment of reflecting on the achievements of its objectives, but also an opportunity to appreciate the journey ahead in helping reduce problems such as maternal deaths and malnutrition in children.<\/p>\n<p>Over ten days, services like child registration, nutritional advice for young mothers and nutritional status screening will be conducted in the districts of Nyanza, Rutsiro, Rubavu, Muhanga, Nyagatare, Nyaruguru, Kirehe, Burera, Gicumbi and Musanze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week comes as a special period for us to provide different health services to mothers and children. Although the services are provided at hospitals and health centres, this allows for a catch-up for those who missed,\u201d Dr. Oreste Tuganeyezu, the Director General of Gisenyi Hospital said.<\/p>\n<p>For Clementine Bihoyiki, a mother of four, who received family planning services, the week gives a chance to parents to learn more how to improve their health as well as that of their children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe teachings they give us helps us understand what to do to maintain a healthy family,\u201d Bihoyiki, a resident of Rubavu District, said. Imbuto Foundation was founded in 2001 by First Lady Jeannette Kagame.<\/p>\n<p>According to information from the Foundation, for the past two decades, they have grown \u201cto embrace and manage programme portfolios aligned with government priorities in health, education as well as youth and women empowerment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
