The Oral Health training covered key aspects of oral hygiene, nutrition, general hygiene, and water safety, with a focus on practical approaches for maintaining good health. Using a mouth model, the speaker explained the components of the mouth and emphasized the importance of addressing dental problems.
Following the training, the team registered and interacted with beneficiaries, collecting health-related information. Women had the option to choose additional topics of interest, with Menstrual Health and Women Self-Help Groups being the most preferred. CHWs also conducted home visits to strengthen connections with beneficiaries.
