Background: The Mother and Child Protection card (MCP card) is used for tracking of each child right from conception till 3 years of age by community health workers. It is a rich source of information for HCPs about mother and child health. A well-versed health care provider (HCP) can deliver the services efficiently to the beneficiaries. Objectives: To assess knowledge of HCPs about information provided in the MCP card. Methodology: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the rural area of Valsad. Nineteen HCPS were interviewed on VHND sessions for their knowledge about health information provided in MCP card. Results: Mean age of HCPs was 38.11 years with mean 9.3 years of work experience. Of these 94.7% were providing the MCP card while registering the beneficiary. Around 78.9% knew growth chart, 68.4% knew vaccination information and nearly half were aware about the various government schemes. About 36.84% could mention five cleans of safe delivery at home. Conclusion: HCPs were aware about vaccination, antenatal care, growth chart but their knowledge about five cleans of home delivery and postnatal care needs to be improved.

Background: Continuing Medical Education (CME) is an essential feature of the clinical practice and helps to improve the health care provider’s ability to provide quality patient care. The World Health Organization has given a global strategic plan to end human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030 known as “Zero by thirty.” Methodology: A CME session was organized for staff nurses working in a tertiary medical care hospital of Valsad district about anti rabies vaccination. Ninety-one participants were administered the questionnaire about antirabies vaccine (ARV) and related practical aspects before and after the CME session. Results: Mean pre- and post-CME Score of the participants was 5.38 and 8.68 out of 10, respectively which was statistically significant. The majority of the participants could score from 5 to 6 (33, 36.2%) before CME which rose to 9 to 10 after CME (58, 63.7%). A total of 52 participants (57%) showed improvement in total score by more than 5 points after attending CME, whereas 13 (14%) showed no improvement. The maximum improvement (52.1%) was found in the fact that currently available vaccine vials are the same for intradermal (ID) and intramuscular (IM) regimes, followed by the need for immunoglobulins in category III animal bites (44.3%). Conclusion: CME showed significant improvement in knowledge regarding rabies and antirabies vaccination. The knowledge regarding the similar schedule for both adults and children needs improvement. Subsequent CME programs should focus on these aspects for the effective management of animal bite patients.
