SURE-P MCH Components
There are two main components – the ‘supply side’ and the ‘demand side’.
The ‘supply side’ involves increasing and improving both infrastructure and human
resources to improve health service delivery at the primary health care level.
Specifically, this component will refurbish PHC infrastructure, scale-up the number of trained health
workers (i.e. midwives, community health extension workers (CHEWs) and village health workers
(VHWs) to guarantee adequate antenatal attendance, skilled delivery at birth, routine immunization
and postnatal care for women and their babies.
The ‘demand side’ component aims to increase the utilization of maternal and child health services
in the PHC facilities through the use of incentives such as the conditional cash transfer (CCT) after
the fulfilment of prescribed co-responsibilities.
