Dehradun, Jun 3 (KNN) The Uttarakhand Health System Development Project will be spending USD 20 million (about Rs 120 crore) on capacity building in the primary healthcare services in the state with focus on supply chain management and health communication.
This is a part of the countrywide USD 100 million (about Rs 600 crore) World Bank group aided project for the health project as well as payment of goods, works, related services and consulting services to be procured under the project, official data said.
The project will be jointly financed by the Government of India to the tune of USD 20 million, it said.
The first component of the project is stewardship and system improvement component which includes multi-sectorial coordination. This would enable an engagement with non-health actors within the government that are relevant to disaster and trauma response, improved road safety and improved health and nutrition outcomes.
Another sub component is capacity building for health system strengthening; evidence, policy and information systems. This focuses on strengthening institutional structures for stewardship and service delivery and augment state’s human resource capacity. It will also work on important areas with severe capacity constraints such as procurement and supply chain management, health communication, etc.
The third sub component has to do with evidence, policy and information systems (design, implementation, supervision, strategic direction). This focuses on research and evidence generation, use of evidence for strategic planning, information systems and for data generation and management.
The second component comprises innovations in engaging the private sector that would augment the state’s capacity in improving access to health services, particularly for remote populations, and in strengthening of primary care with two sub components
In this, the first sub component includes innovations in delivery of primary care services. This involves performance based contracting for an integrated network providing emergency response, primary care and referral services through mobile medical units backed by outsourced community health centres and specialist care based at the district level.
Innovations in health care financing are part of the second sub component. This includes expansion of primary care coverage into the state’s health insurance programs and will focus on designing, implementing and evaluating benefit packages around childhood and adolescent health as well as case management of non-communicable diseases in primary care settings.
