What it reported doing in 2024

Program building health systems research consortium - in succession to the theme paper study (discussed above) several research topics emerged. The gates foundation felt that these topics need more scientific exploration. Access health worked to identify and contact academicians and researchers, who could conduct highly scientific research to answer these research questions. We conducted two orientation workshops with the academicians in the areas of health financing and organization and delivery of care, to a discuss and finalize the identified areas of research. We finalized the research areas and shared a request for proposal with the identified academicians. We received six proposals from institute of economic growth, indian school of business, indian institute of public health bhubaneshwar, administrative staff college of india, faculty of management studies, and institute of public health. A technical advisory committee was formulated, and they reviewed the proposals. Presently, we have finalized five of these proposals based on the score provided by the technical committee and contracts have been issued to the academic institutes. We are to start the research in partnership with these academicians.ayushman bharat - the government of india announced ayushman bharat in 2018. Ayushman bharat a major health sector reform aims at making interventions in primary, secondary, and tertiary care systems, covering both preventive and promotive health, to address healthcare holistically. The program includes two major health initiatives namely, health and wellness centers and pradhan mantri jan arogya yojna (pm-jay). The pm-jay will cover over 10 crore (one hundred million) poor and vulnerable families (approximately 50 crore (five hundred million) beneficiaries) providing coverage up to 5 lakh rupees ($7,100) per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. Access health international convenes a platform of technical resources and expertise to support state governments to increase the likelihood of successful implementation of pm-jay. The platform works with interested state governments who require strategic support to contextualize design and implement the structures and processes for governance and management.capacity building - access health engages, supports, and strengthen competencies, credibility and confidence of healthcare practitioners, policy makers and national and state level institutions towards building long term capacities in health systems and contributing towards improved health outcomes for the people of india.phc rajasthan - the government of rajasthan has recently undertaken the task of ensuring better performance of its healthcare system, which falls below the indian average on many counts. In addition to government financed health insurance under the bhamashah swasthya scheme, the government of rajasthan has been actively supporting the use of technology, innovation and process reengineering to promote better health outcomes by strengthening primary care and ensuring good governance by way of better accountability and transparency.to this end, the access health international in 2016, engaged the boston consulting group to help the government of rajasthan in revitalizing its primary care system. This is being done through staff and infrastructural gap fixing of 295 primary health centers in the first phase (of a total of about 2100), system strengthening(e.g., via hr processes, management information systems and process redesign) and disease-specific interventions (e.g., to reduce neo-natal mortality from the current 3.2%).these transformed primary health centers were relabeled as adarsh primary health centers, and have helped increase utilization and availability of care within the public primary care system in rajasthan. In addition, community strengthening is also playing a critical role, e.g., via targeted information and education campaigns and feedback mechanisms.while the engagement
