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.
