ICROSS has been involved in children’s health for over 30 Years. Together with research partners around the world we have developed comprehensive mother and child care programmes since 1983. ICROSS has trained over 800 health care workers for the last 6 years, in partnership with local government we have developed fully equipped maternity units in all our clinics. Our maternal perinatal are integrated into our pregnancy child birth interventions. ICROSS continues to fund maternal and new born health care.
A central element in our work over the last 3 decades is working with our academic partners in building inter dispensary campaigns to create greater implementation of the latest public health information.
