Family-centered Care in a Rural, School-based Health Center
In South Africa, families have deficient knowledge of early childhood development. Families are often not included in their child’s health care decisions. The new, school-based health center had no wellness visits, family-centered care model or health education in place prior to the intervention. The project aim was to increase family-centered care by 30% by engaging in open communication with parents and guardians of children under six at the school-based health center over 90 days.
