Strengthening Primary Health Care:
Key Priority Areas
To ensure everyone has access to essential health services, we are committed to improving the quality and equitable delivery of care at the community and primary health care (PHC) levels. Our program targets the following prioritized areas:
Reproductive, Maternal, New-born and Child Health (RMNCH)
The aim is to empower primary healthcare providers through updated training, aligning with Universal Health Coverage goals. LHWs will receive specialized training in treating minor illnesses, promoting safe deliveries, providing nutritional support, and ensuring timely referrals for complex cases. A robust referral system will be in place to connect primary health centers and outreach services, ensuring efficient and cost-effective healthcare utilization.
Tuberculosis Control Program
Increasing TB case detection through more contribution of healthcare providers by training staff. Also ensuring provision of proper diagnostic services and improvement in screening at primary healthcare level.
Child Immunization
Making immunization services accessible, particularly in lagging areas of Sindh, and ensuring the availability of all essential medicines and vaccines at primary healthcare facilities.
DHIS2
An integrated Health Data Information System is being implemented to enable the timely identification of problems and the development of remedial action plans, leading to improved monitoring, surveillance, and evidence-based decision-making.
