For strengthening routine EPI and program as well as make the world Polio free there are many standard strategies are in place like NIDs, DQSA, Measles catch up campaign, WHO 30 cluster surveys, Measles Follow up, Follow up of left out and dropouts. However, each of these strategies has their own limitations which can not address the problems completely. According to my solution I want to motivate stuffs and supervisors to achieve the objectives by creating ownership and responsibility for desired outcome.
It will be a holistic approach which will encourage health workers to do their best work at the same time results of their effort will be estimated at a regular interval to motivate them to improve their work. A very simple, crude and quick method will be adopted to find the individual performance analysis similar to WHO 30 cluster method but only one cluster will be done for each health workers area. Unlike WHO 30 cluster method, only the current progress will determined. In addition to data quality will also be determined through a preset questionnaire.
Specific example: Results will be classified as, regular, irregular, due and complete. Grading of health workers will be done as 1. Good, 2.Satisfactory 3. Not Satisfactory

We provided classroom and experiential learning for faculty and medical students. Such is provided through Community and Behavioral Medicine and Community Health curriculum. This preparation connects in a number of ways, but in our view, primarily through standards for patient ethics. For example, how do you treat a patient whose belief system supports the first line of defense to a health condition as evaluation by a traditional healer from their ethnic group? Through our experience with working with a premiere research university in South Africa, we have learned that the route to Western medicine is through the adaptability of providing both where possible. The patient and patient’s family is much more likely to follow the “orders” of physicians when honoring beliefs and ideologies takes place in treatment and care across many differences. This is only one example. We, specifically, sit in Appalachia where there are different cultural and religious beliefs about healthcare. Better preparing doctors, particularly like those trained in Osteopathic Medicine who seek to work in regions underserved medically, to apply this model can be crucial to doctor-patient relations and overall quality of life and practice.

Once an individual contacts the Spine Health Foundation for assistance, our first priority is to determine if this individual meets the criteria for assistance. We request a signed authorization/privacy agreement; a completed financial application to determine eligibility; and if they have consulted with a medical professional regarding these symptoms. Once approved, the recipient chooses a healthcare provider; we (SHF), contact the provider’s office to notify them of the recipient & set up a consultation. Once the physician has met with the recipient and has provided his/her medical opinion, the recipient makes a decision regarding moving forward with recommended medical procedures/treatments. Providers choose if they will provide services pro bono or be reimbursed by the SHF at a reduced rate. Reimbursement rates are determined prior to procedure. The extended role of the SHF is to stay in touch with the recipient before the surgery to make sure she/he has everything they need including words of encouragement. On the day of surgery, I always make a personal visit to check in on the recipient and the family to let them know we care. I am proud to report positive results from all of the services we provide to these deserving individuals. SHF recipients are able to resume their lives without debilitating spinal issues. Our goal is to provide hope and healing solutions.

Kongowea, Mombasa, one of the regions where the solution was piloted, had 9 Matatu crew members who had previously suffered from TB, with 5 admitting they defaulted on their treatment due to drug side effects and stigma associated to the disease in relation to HIV/AIDS. Most of them admitted they rarely have time for or cannot afford a decent well balance meal. Due to time constrains and lack of information, their health seeking behavior was also wanting with most opting for cough syrups from the chemists and drug stores while others sought the services of traditional healers and herbalists. These practices, they learnt during the training, lowered their immunity making them susceptible to infections among them TB and the lack of proper and appropriate treatment made the disease worse.Upon completion of the training they were screened for TB and 7 were put on treatment including the 5 that had defaulted.They were then provided with IEC materials which included a facility directory for easier referrals, branded T-shirts and asked to put in place TB infection control measures such as asking the commuters to open the windows for proper ventilation and to cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing,to talk to commuters about TB being that they had suffered from the disease and were on or had completed treatment,escorted those who had experienced sign&symptoms of the disease to the nearest government health center for further investigation and treatment.During this period of engagement Kongowea health facility recorded a 39% increase in TB case finding.

RAJS/BF carries out communication campaigns to mobilize the highest authorities in the state to achieve the goal of youth leadership development. Youth talent events and anti-AIDS youth days let young people bring their messages and their needs to authorities for effective consideration. Sub-regional networks of youth were also set-up to join the fight against HIV and promote the reproductive health of adolescents and young people. These networks include local affiliates of AfriYAN (African Youth and Adolescent Network on Population and Development) and CRJ/ACO (Regional Committee for Youth Networks against HIV and AIDS in Central and West Africa), youth organizations that work to mobilize resources and advocate for the National Council of Youth of Burkina Faso. After having created a favorable environment and resource availability, RAJS/BF will be working to develop communication activities by young people for young people. For this purpose, a network of more than 325 youth associations was put together; more than 2750 young peer educators in IEC/CCC/HIV/SRAJ life skills and community support of PLHIV (People Living with HIV) were trained; more than 325 teachers about HIV and gender equality were trained, more than 750 parents were trained in parent-child communication; more than 150 health workers were trained in youth outreach strategy. Community radio with youth listening centers were built in Bogandé (Eastern Burkina), 10 counseling centers for youth services with integrated health care were created, local activities for more than 500,000 were implemented included educational talks, video screenings followed by discussions, and forum theater. More than 15 health surveys and studies youth health and requirements were conducted. All these activities have been dedicated to increasing youth responsibility and the mobilization of the state and other partners on their side.

Vitaever beta version was completed in summer 2010 and successfully tested by ANT earlyadopters at the beginning of 2011. Today the ANT Hospital full adoption of Vitaever is on the way. Thanks to this project more than 300 ANT professions are having access to state-of-art technologies and using Vitaever to provide a great health service to about 3,300 patients. On the other hand Nethical S.r.l has started to offer Vitaever also to other healthcare organizations, in particularly to small NGO facing economical barriers to access technology and planning how to use this technology as building blocks for future innovations. The social impact of Vitaever project was recognized by the EU Commission and awarded as one of ten examples of social innovation.

Almost all activities through REDD Watch will utilize information technology. The residents and reporters will transmit data and information through mobile phones, video phones, or voice recording of the phone, directly to the editor. Public can also give comments or give a story idea just as simple as open the site and leave comments there.

This model has not been tried, because usually REDD site is managed by the government or large NGOs, which tend to spend a large resources.

The blog seeks to build a following, on the site, on Facebook, and on Twitter. Once the following get large enough then companies are enticed to advertise to that following where the money goes to charity. All that is needed is for people to follow, and then their consumer attention will take over.

The primary activities of my project are to promote Science Olympiad and Science Fair, increase community partners, and develop and train teachers to utilize STEM based learning in the classroom.

To promote Science Olympiad I intend to have every middle and high school in the district participate in the 2011-12 Science Olympiad competition. To achieve this target I will provide mentoring to teachers and students and provide financial assistance for resources and registration fees.

To promote science fair I will continue expanding increased interest at my previous school by mentoring teachers and students directly. I will also encourage and train other interested teachers in the district to expand the number of students participating in science fair competition. To target a larger number of students I will promote in school science fairs.

I will work with STARBASE to implement a mentoring program and expand the number of students participating in our district. Our district is blessed to have Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in it. I have been in contact with their education specialist and he is very enthused about increasing student educational opportunities. He expressed that often times school groups visit the park and students take a tour and leave bored. We would like to collaboratively develop a STEM based project related to the park.

The final aspect of my project will be to develop at least one STEM project for elementary, middle, and high school. Interested teachers could implement the project and or use it as a guide to develop their own. I would train and or run the project for teachers interested.

By promoting STEM using a variety of approaches and targeting all students we will develop students that are innovative, critical thinkers capable of solving a wide variety of challenges.
