Students take classes at the Maternal Child Health Assistant School in Makeni. The school is supported by H4+ (made up of UNAIDS, UNFPA, UNICEF, UN Women, WHO, and the World Bank), which was formed to implement the UN Secretary General's Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health and progress the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In Sierra Leone, the H4+ is working on fundamental programmes to strengthen health systems, in particular reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health care, including the implementation of new training policies for midwives.
