Guinea: Rapid Rehabilitation – Improving Health Facilities

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.

HC3 initiated rapid rehabilitation activities to improve health facilities aiming for Gold Star accreditation. Community dialogues held by HC3 found that community members wanted to improve the appearance of health facilities and create more positive relationships between health providers and the communities in which they work.
