- Community Health Worker Training: Effective training for community health workers to promote hygiene, conduct home visits for pregnant women, and address mental health concerns within primary healthcare settings is essential.
- Data Collection and Dissemination: Prioritizing data collection and dissemination on health statistics is crucial for effective response during outbreaks and to understand the overall health situation.
