- Primary Healthcare Service Recovery
- For interventions in health, the programme focuses on the strengthening of PHCs and will support the reconstruction of 8 Model Centres with nurses accommodation and will be equipped with basic facilities and solar electricity. This support will also ensure the availability and use of SOPs including standing orders, job aids flow charts and programme specific clinical guidelines for key services, especially the priority impact interventions at PHCs. It will further support this strengthening of referral and outreach services to promote communities to ensure access to the last mile as well as routine immunization services through the provision of solar-powered refrigerators and cold chain equipment. The capacity building component will support selected primary health care training institutions to scale up the production of a critical mass of multipurpose and low-level PHC workers. Health workers will be trained on integrated health service delivery to improve diagnosis and management. There will also be specific training for pharmacy staff on the job. The programme will further integrate service delivery satisfactory surveys through scorecards to create mechanisms for dialogue with communities and service providers on quality service delivery.
