This morning we made many preparations for our first scenario meetings so that we have all the paperwork and posters ready to go. We printed out example posters, in black and white, to show the CHOs and CHAs at the PHUs. We met with the CHO of Kunsho and Makeri and the CHA of Kunsho to further explain their scenario, get their feedback and support. They were interested in doing the scenarios and we are planning to meet with them again.
When we showed the CHO and CHA the black and white version of the poster they told us it would be really hard for community members to interpret. They told us to look at the Ebola posters because they were very straight forward. When we showed them the color version, they thought that it was much better and would work well for its purpose.
We also introduced them to the screening questions they will record answers to for each patient and they also thought those were appropriate for any CHA or CHO doing the screening. More meetings were set up for the following few days and integrating the training into the next meetings is being considered.
