Guinea: Interpersonal Communication and Counseling – Building Trust in the Health System

As Guinea continues to recover from Ebola, the Health Communication Capacity Collaborative (HC3) is working with the country’s hardest hit communities to rebuild both trust in the health system and the quality of care delivered. This series of case studies examines some of HC3’s activities and tools that were part of an overall social and behavior change communication (SBCC) strategy to improve health behaviors and increase the demand for and use of quality reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH) services in Guinea.

The community dialogues HC3 conducted in Guinea revealed that one of the keys to increasing demand and use of services was improving the skills and behavior of health providers to improve client communication and influence positive health outcomes.
