Public Health Mentorship Programme: An Intervention Model to Strengthen Health Service Delivery | Chapter 15 | Current Innovations in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 5

 The Clinical Mentorship Programme( CMP) is an systematized form of PHM programme that was stationed as a colonist public health intervention and modelled to support being interventions and other ongoing strategies to catalyse better issues in Rivers State, Nigeria's HIV Control Programme. Public Health Mentorship has the implicit to change the current trends for healthcare systems floundering with resource constraints, terrain difficulties, and capacity to meet ever- growing requirements in service delivery. CMP as a form of PHM is largely untested, particularly in Nigeria. It's a structured intervention designed to condense sweats to bridge the huge unmet requirements in HIV service delivery in a low- resource setting characterised by delicate terrain and securitychallenges.The explanation was to catalyse quality enhancement in targeted pointers through locally tested enterprise, to construct the capacity of original brigades, to promote a problem- working station at the point position, and to strengthen platoon trouble between the Institute of Human Virology, Nigeria, Government Agencies, and the devisee community.

Beginning around July 2019, the CMP was stationed in the State HIV control programme. The SCMs were named as medical professionals and educated to have the necessary chops to develop labor force and raise the standard of the HIV control programme. Two times after the CMP's perpetration, platoon capacity was successfully established in a platoon command structure, performing in advancements in crucial performance programme pointers.

Within two times of its perpetration, the CMP accelerated and supported the successful reduction of unmet treatment needs in the Rivers State HIV Control Programme. It's also suggested that it be acclimated in other public health programmes as a form of Public Health Mentorship to optimise service delivery in areas with high unmet need.
