to improve MNCH and contribute towards achieving MDG 4 & 5
• Vaccine Preventable Disease– Focus on expanding immunization coverage and improving
quality to reduce morbidity and mortality• Maternal Health– Strengthening Pre-service Nursing and Midwifery Education
System– Revitalizing PPFP/PPIUCD program
• Newborn Health– Support the national program for care of the newborn through

new resources– NRHM guidelines that make funding available for evidence-based, best practices– New vaccine , measles control, JE vaccine, cold chain, PIPs
• Using “ RED” for planning, management and monitoring• Building capacity of stakeholders
– Updating, leveraging resources for roll out and evaluating RI training packages for BHWs, MOs, DIOs, partners (more than 1000 workers trained; 150,000 across India)
– Need-based job aids (used in UP, Jhk, Bihar, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Orissa, Punjab)– Pioneering a unique multi-partner supportive supervision approach (UP/Jharkhand,
Orissa, MP)
• In selected blocks of focus districts, demonstrating successful approaches to utilize lessons from polio eradication for improving RI
NMR trends and predictions
Causes of Neonatal Mortality
Newborn Activities • Collaborate with the MOHFW and state governments to refine and roll-out essential newborn care
programs, including NSSK– NSSK rolled out in 15/24 districts UP & Jharkhand respectively, – 239 trainers trained in UP & 82 in Jharkhand, quality monitoring of cascade training– Facility Readiness assessment & operationalization for Newborn Care– Preparation of job-aides

Revitalizing PPFP/PPIUCD program in India
Rationale 2/3 of PP women desired to
space or limit future births but were not using appropriate services.
Method mix relied heavily on sterilization when IUCD could be an excellent option for many women.
JSY was bringing women to facility: supplying them with information and delivering high quality services -- goal of PPFP program.
National IUCD initiative
Achievements Increased interest at
National/state level, FOGSI, private providers, donors
National Consultation on Family Planning for Maternal and Child Health in addition to Population Stabilization in May 2010
States developing PPFP strategy

Establishment of PPFP/PPIUCD Services
Developed national PPIUCD clinical guidelines, training materials including job aids, IEC material, approved by GoI
Developed 4 training sites including standardizing PPIUCD services
Doctor and nurse teams from two sites each in 16 states trained and PPFP/PPIUCD services established at > 32 sites
> 3000 PPIUCD insertions done In the newly established service delivery and training sites since February 2010.
