Nurse Oliver Mlemeta and her colleagues play a critical role in the success of BID Initiative solutions. Our team works closely with health workers at each facility in our test region and province to ensure health workers understand the suite of interventions and how each component works together to ultimately improve health worker efficiency and health service delivery.
