Contracting of Primary Health Care Facilities Sample Clauses

Contracting of Primary Health Care Facilities. Owing to inadequate functioning and underutilization of PHCFs, the GoP decided to try different models to enhance the quality of care in these facilities through its third National Health Policy in 2001. The policy suggested developing public-private partnerships to improve the management and service delivery of primary health care services. (Government of Pakistan, 2001). The strategy was to improve primary healthcare services within the existing resources through reorganizing of existing infrastructure. It included: improvements in availability of staff particularly physicians and LHVs; supply of essential medicines and equipment; and physical infrastructure of facilities including rehabilitation and retrieval of dysfunctional BHUs. A pilot project was started in Rahim Yar Khan district of Punjab in 2003 under the title of Chief Minister’s Primary Healthcare Initiative and evaluation done by the World Bank in 2005 indicated positive outcomes in terms of quality and utilization. (Xxxxxxxxxx, Haq, Xxxxxxxxxx, & Xxxxx, 2009). GoP, in the same year, decided to scale up the project in an effort to enhance functioning of these PHCFs by strengthening curative and preventive services delivery. This initiative was named People’s Primary Healthcare Initiative (PPHI) and it is still in practice in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. (Xxxxxx, Zahidie, Xxxxx, Xxxx, & Xxxxxx, 2014). 1 Data from 2006 to 2010 was not published, hence it was not available online.
