Las Promotoras de Salud

Promotoras de salud or “health promoters”, are an important part of the NPS (Niños Primeros en Salud) program in Consuelo. Promotoras de salud are women that are identified by Ramona, our nurse, as natural leaders in their barrios.  They act as a resource for health information in their community and provide support for children in the NPS program as well as breastfeeding mothers.

Here are some pictures of NPS health workers learning more about the importance of breastfeeding and practicing their skills!
