Agency : Directorate of Health Services, Government of Madhya Pradesh

To strengthen maintenance of sub-center level health records and registers in Madhya Pradesh, IIHMR worked closely with the Department of Public Health and Family Welfare, Government of Madhya Pradesh. Guna district of Madhya Pradesh was selected for piloting the project. The overall objective of the pilot study was to review all records and reports generated under various programmes at different levels in consultation with different stakeholders to design the requisite records and report formats, which ensured ease of data capture and its use by the concerned functionaries.

Based on the findings of the record review, IIHMR designeda "Daily Service Diary" with supportive reporting format and a "Village Register". A three-tier training programme was designed and implemented for the district officers, supervisors and health workers. Sufficient numbers of logistics were provided to the health workers for four months through the Block Medical Officer. To build the capacity of the health workers regarding new tools, monitoring and supervisions were made for three consecutive months.
