CL-HEALTH SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

closed

The project will assist the Government to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of resource use in the public health system, as well as to improve the quality of health services in selected areas. The project constitutes the second phase in the Bank's lending assistance in the sector and it has four principal components. The first is the decentralization of health services delivery which will finance the pilot tests or start-up activities and nationwide implementation, as appropriate, of the reorganization of the Ministry of Health (MOH). The second is facility investments for a new health care model which will enhance the integration of health services delivery in eight Health Service Areas (HAS). The third is support for special programs which would mean the financing of equipment and operating costs for the implementation of the Cervical Cancer Program and Environmental Health Education Program. Finally, the fourth is project administration, this will support the operation of a Project Coordination Unit (PCU) to assist the MOH to coordinate and manage project implementation, provide training to the HASs, and undertake monitoring evaluation.
