NE BASIC HLTH SRV II

closed

The Second Northeast Basic Health Service Project has two main objectives : 1) strengthening of basic health services in selected low income areas, and 2) reinforcement of the implementation of sectoral reforms, including the decentralization of financial resources and administrative authority within the states. Attainment of these objectives should contribute to improved health status of rural residents in the project states, and serve as an example of sectoral reform for other low income states and countries. The project's two components are 1) a Health Services Development component to assist in the delivery of a package of three basic health services including a) care for women and children including family planning, b) a program for infectious disease control, c) a program for ambulatory and hospital based medical care and 2) an Institutional Development component to improve a) administration and delivery of basic health services, b) decentralization of a public health network.
