Pneumonia is the single-leading cause of infectious disease deaths in children under-5. Mothers wanted improvements in the quality of services while health workers requested capacity development and more support for providing effective community-based child health services. Mothers and health extension workers had partly divergent perceptions of whether outreach curative services for children were available.

The health workers called for support, incentives, and capacity development activities. Workload, long distances, and lack of incentives were perceived as demotivating factors for outreach services.

On the other hand, mothers considered distance from home to health post not to be a problem if the quality of services improved. The health extension workers reported that they provide sick children treatment during outreach services but also stated that in most cases, mothers visit the health posts when their child is sick.

They showed lack of trust in the health workers' ability to treat children at home. Mothers reported that health extension workers visited their homes for preventive services but not for managing childhood illnesses. We balanced the data collection by selecting half of the participants for interview and focus group discussions from remote areas and the other half from areas closer to the health posts. We applied thematic content analysis, identified challenges in providing outreach services, and suggestions for improvement. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and translated into English. A total of 45 community members participated. We aimed at exploring mothers' and health extension workers' perceptions and experiences of the outreach services provided for the management of childhood illnesses.įour focus groups and eight key informant interviews were conducted. Little is known about the scope of the outreach services and caregivers' and health workers' perceptions of these services.
