(BRAC Research and Evaluation Division (RED), 2011-08) Banu, Morsheda; Hashima-E-Nasreen; Nahar, Shamsun
The study aimed to measure the performance of delivery centres (DC) and explore the factors related to performance of DCs. Data were collected using qualitative methods during December 2009 - January 2010 from six DCs in the slums of Dhaka city. Findings reveal that the DCs at Magbazar and Kamrangir Char performed 'well' due to availability of community health workers (CHW) , their emotional support and caring attitude, regular antenatal care (ANC) visits, convenient location, cleanliness and free services of the DCs. The DCs at Madertek and Shyampur performed 'average' and Ramna and Kotwali DCs performed poor. Poor performance was largely due to lack of CHWs, less motivation, frequent dropout due to low remuneration, and recurrent slum demolition. As women reported, the reasons for not attending DCs was fear of being referred to the hospital which might compel them to have a caesarean delivery, lack of comprehensive services at DCs including doctor-assisted normal deliveries, medicines, and emergency case management. Neonatal mortality rate in poor performed DCs found to be high. The respondents suggested that instead of referring women for minor complications, DCs should be competent of providing supervised skilled service package with basic treatment during childbirth, tetanus toxoid during ANC and child immunizations and postnatal care.

(BRAC University, 2021-06) Nahar, Shamsun; Akhand, Monirul Islam
By having the best administration and different departments Anonymea Private LTD. has always appreciated the employees, given them the knowledge they need and displayed them the way to success. This report is about how working from home is changing our perceptions of the workplace. Dealing with COVID 19 is not an easy task for anyone. It shacked the world without any sign. This created a lot of problems for running every organization. So many organizations had to shut their operations since they couldn't cope up with the pandemic. But Anonymea thought otherwise. They immediately changed the plan of operation and sent their employees home for good. Since then, we have been working from home. It has changed the angle of working from home. We are using so much technology that we have never done before. We have never appreciated working from home until the pandemic. Doing official work like meeting, handling clients through online meeting or phone calls is never an easy task. It is very tough for every organization especially in our country as the internet connection is not very stable and available. However, many people do not have an internet connection at home. So they have to activate mobile data or Local Internet service provider for the connection in order to continue their home office otherwise it will be impossible for them to run their office work from home.

Oral administration of misoprostol reduces postpartum Haemorrhage in urban slums of Bangladesh
(BRAC Research and Evaluation Division (RED), 2013-04) Banu, Morsheda; Nahar, Shamsun; Hashima-E-Nasreen
To avert deaths from postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), Manoshi initiated community health workers (CHW) administered oral misoprostol (400~g) to women following childbirth either at delivery centers or home in slums of Dhaka and under Gazipur City Corporation in 2009. To study whether the supervised use of misoprostol would reduce primary PPH following childbirth including its feasibility and community acceptability. A non-randomized control trial was undertaken among 3,900 women in urban slums of Dhaka and Gazipur City Corporation during January-August 2011 . Oral misoprostol was prophylactically given to the treatment group following childbirth, while the control group did not receive it. The misoprostol significantly reduced incidence of primary PPH in the intervention group (4.5%) compared to the control group (7.5%). The median blood loss of PPH cases was 868 ml in the treatment and 928 ml in control group. It reduced the rate of bleeding-related emergency transfer, additional medical interventions compared to control group. However, no significant difference was found in blood transfusion between the two groups. We found one-third of the women were aware about misoprostol in intervention while none were aware in the control. The median risk for developing PPH was lesser in the intervention and prolonged third stage of labour found significantly higher in the control group. Misoprostol was found to be widely accepted in the community and feasible to offer parturient by CHWs within 5 minutes following childbirth in intervention group. Prophylactic use of misoprostol administered by CHWs is feasible and effective in reducing the incidence of primary PPH in the parturient of slums of Bangladesh. Besides, community-based education on misoprostol and iron intake throughout pregnancy to reduce the need for blood transfusion should be ensured.
