- Maternal health: 12,960 Pregnant mothers were provided RH service and 2,635 safe deliveries done and Insecticides Nets (LLINs) provided upon discharge.
- GBV program: 1,657 GBV related cases reported in November. This was an increase in cases reported and handled at Bayhaaw Hospital, Berahnoy MCH One stop centres and outreach activities in Bay region.
