WHO-GoI engaged in partnership to improve health and equity in India

Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has launched the World Health Organisation's new country cooperation strategy with India (2012-17) paving the way for a strategic partnership in the global health scene.

It is for the first time that the Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) has been developed jointly by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India and the WHO Country Office for India (WCO).

To contribute meaningfully to the national health policy and government’s health agenda, the CCS has identified three strategic priorities and the key focus areas under each priority:

A. Supporting an improved role of the Government of India in global health

• International Health Regulations: Ensuring the implementation of International Health Regulations and similar commitments

• Pharmaceuticals: Strengthening the pharmaceutical sector including drug regulatory capacity and, trade and health

• Stewardship: Improving the stewardship capacity of the entire Indian health system

B. Promoting access to and utilization of affordable, efficiently networked and sustainable quality services by the entire population

• Financial Protection: Providing universal health service coverage so that every individual would achieve health gain from a health intervention when needed
• Quality: Properly accrediting service delivery institutions (primary health care facilities and hospitals) to deliver the agreed service package

C. Helping to confront the new epidemiological reality of India

• Health of Mothers and Children: Scaling up reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health services
• Combined Morbidity: Addressing increased combinations of communicable and non-communicable diseases
• Transitioning Services: Gradual, phased “transfer strategy” of WHO services to the national, state and local authorities without erosion of effectiveness during the transition period
 
The CCS will be implemented on the basis of two-year Action Plans developed by the WCO in consultation with the MoHFW taking due consideration of the health priorities envisaged  by the 12th Five Year Plan.
