THEREFORE, AN URGENT NEED TO TARGET PRIORITY AREAS AND ACTIONS BY FOCUSING ON..
▪ Adopting continuum of care:
▪ Across life stages
▪ Service delivery platforms with equal focus on community & hospitals
▪ Equity issues and reaching the unreached
▪ Matching the investments with the disease burden
Need to ensure Effective Coverage, Equity in the centre-stage of the Planning

Improving access ▪ About 16,000 “Delivery Points” identified for strengthening
▪ 8743 PHCs made functional 24x7; and 2653 First Referral Units (FRUs)
▪ Dedicated MCH Wings: ▪ 28,000 new beds across 470 hospitals
▪ 100-bedded wings in 174 hospitals
▪ Project cost ~ 600 million USD
Improving coverage of services ▪ Skilled Birth Attendance (SBA): 70,000 nurses trained

Strengthening Monitoring
▪ Institutionalised Maternal Death Reviews across the country, both Facility Based and Community Based
▪ Software rolled out to track women and children from pregnancy to 2 years post-delivery (MCTS) to ensure no services are missed
▪ Till date, >59 million mothers and >49 million children registered.
▪ National Facilitation Centre to validate service provision
▪ Supportive supervision for RMNCH+A checklist
