This innovation aims to improve access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic, while supporting immediate workforce strengthening and health system linkage needs through a blended technology and behavioural intervention. The intervention is based on a hub and spoke model, using the World Health Organization (WHO) task shifting concept to train Community Health Workers in Area C of the West Bank to use Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and remote teleguidance. A tripartite approach such as this which blends the social accompaniment model via community health workers, democratized technology, and cross-border telemedicine, could effectively be used on an expanded basis within remote and resource-limited settings to improve timely diagnostics and access to care while addressing critical issues related to civil society strengthening, women’s empowerment and peacebuilding through health.
