Coach’s comment

"This module’s assignment required the participants to not only understand the content of the module but also to deliberate over the questions and analyse them carefully, to be able to prepare the appropriate responses. Well done and thank you to all the participants for their efforts this week. This assignment deserves to be picked as one of the best this week. All the answers were concise and thoughtfully presented. The response to question no 5.1 in particular was quite impressive and earns my commendation." Raqibat Idris, GFMER course coordinator and tutor

Amsalu Belew Zeleke, MNCAH-QOC, World Health Organization, Ethiopia

Coach’s comment

"Responses to the questions are clear, concise and to the point. From his paperwork assignment, Amsalu thoroughly reviewed all the slides, talking points and reference materials, and he has good understanding of the subject matter of this week module. I really appreciate his understanding and the way he presented the answer to the question about “typology of the mistreatment of women during childbirth”, which is relatively difficult question in this week and requires critical review of the journal paper titled: “The Mistreatment of Women during Childbirth in Health Facilities globally: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review”. Lastly, I appreciate the commitment and effort of all my students despite their busy schedules and family responsibilities." Melaku Samuel Hottessa, GFMER course tutor
