Child Survival Program in Kyrgyzstan

In Jalalabad, Imams often use their Friday services to communicate health messages and the importance of keeping family members healthy to men who attend mosques; their enthusiastic involvement has contributed to an increase from 13% to 80% of those in the communities who understand and practice improved child survival techniques.
