UNDERSTAND THE APPROACH

The connections behind reliable care.

A health system includes the people, facilities, coordination and support that make services possible. MCHF’s strategy focuses on strengthening these connections through collaboration with local institutions.

01

Frontline capacity

Training, mentorship and continuing learning should respond to identified needs. The plan includes support for community health workers and frontline personnel alongside appropriate learning materials.

02

Community–facility linkages

Referrals, follow-up and awareness of available services help connect communities with facilities. Understanding barriers to access is part of designing useful linkages.

03

Quality and sustainability

Quality improvement uses assessments, tools and learning to address delivery challenges. Sustainability asks whether local communities and institutions can maintain useful improvements over time.
