Comprehensive
Reproductive and Child Health Programme for Malto Tribals
in Jharkhand State
|
|
|
In a major initiative to
improve RCH services in tribal areas, the PFI is supporting
a project ‘Comprehensive Reproductive and Child Health
Programme for Malto Tribals in Sahibganj District of Jharkhand’ to
be implemented by the Prem Jyoti Community Health and Development
Project (CHDP) of the Emmanuel Hospital Association. This
will provide services to a population of 1,14,000 Malto tribals
residing in the Rajmahal Hills over a period of three years.
|
| |
| Covering 140 villages grouped
into 11 clusters, the project will, as its primary strategy,
promote village level primary healthcare amongst Malto tribals.
This will be done with the help of trained community volunteers, coupled with
Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) activities in the absence of government
health services in these remote tribal areas. |
| |
A 12-bed health centre with facilities for basic lab and X-Ray investigations,
emergency medical treatment and Obstetric and surgical services at Chandragodda
will serve as a referral centre. The centre will support an outreach service
through a mobile clinic, which will provide basic Reproductive Health services
in the project area.
