MENTOR NURSES TRAINING PROJECT – FUNDED BY RGMFE (RG MANUDHANE FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE)The state of Tamilnadu has good health care indices but its Neonatal, Infant and Maternal Mortality Rates have remained stagnant over the past ten years. One of the key issues identi�ed with regards to this problem is that health care facilities within government settings in Tamil Nadu face an acute shortage of skilled healthcare professionals, particularly well trained nurses.
In 2012, a Government Order to designate Mentor Nurse at the state level and district for training 4000 nurses was passed by the Government of TN. This set a
platform to provide a mandate for signi�cant intervention in healthcare, particularly maternal and infant care at the village level. Selected from the districts, the mentor nurses were identi�ed to train; work with the nurses in PHCs across TN as an interface between the District and the Block Level Hospital authorities, thereby leading to improved nursing delivery.
The project, funded by RGMFE (RG Manudhane Foundation for Excellence) which is run under the auspices of Directorate of Public Health, Tamil Nadu aims to build the capacity, empower and 200 mentor nurses from the Government health centers and enable them to take the knowledge and skills forward to the existing framework of nurses stationed within all the Government Hospitals in the state.
