The Second Women's Health and Safe Motherhood Project will contribute to the national goal of improving women's health by: Demonstrating in selected sites a sustainable, cost-effective model of delivering health services that increases access of disadvantaged women to acceptable and high quality reproductive health services and enables them to safely attain their desired spacing and number of children. The project has the following two components. Component 1) will support local governments in mobilizing networks of public and private providers to deliver the integrated Women's Health and Safe Motherhood service package (WHSM-SP), with focus on maternal care, family planning and STI/HIV control services. The Project will give priority attention to protecting the needs of disadvantaged women. This component will be implemented in six project sites over a period of six years, starting in the first year of the Project with a first batch of three sites (Sorsogon Province, Surigao del Sur Province and Iloilo City) to be followed in the third year of the Project by a second batch of three sites (still to be identified). Component 2) will develop capacity in the DOH to create an operating environment conducive to LGUs managing and sustaining local delivery of the WHSM-SP and facilitate replication of the integrated WHSM service model throughout the country.
