VOLUNTEER Community Mobilisers, VCMs, working for UNICEF in Ayamelum Council Area has been advised to always adhere to standards set by UNICEF in discharging their duties.
Chineze George-Ileka, the UNICEF Focal Person, gave the advice on tuesday at the Council’s secretariat, Anaku during the October-December 2017 appraisal meeting.
She stressed that the volunteer workers would need to shun patronage of traditional health practitioners.
George-Ileka urged them to sensitise pregnant women in their locality on the need to patronise government health centres for ante-natal and child delivery purposes.
She recalled that the lives of women and children had been saved in many communities by the timely intervention of health practitioners.
She urged the volunteers to always fill their work sheets with the accurate number of pregnant women they encounter in the field and not to make up results.
George-Ileka, then, appealed to the health care givers in Ayamelum Council Area to utilise their positions in the community to save more lives.
