Overview of Pakistan Building Healthy Families Activity
Building Healthy Families (BHF) Activity is a USAID-funded five-year project, with Pathfinder International as the lead implementer in Pakistan, aiming to improve population health outcomes in Pakistan through stronger primary health care systems and encouraging uptake and continuation of voluntary Family Planning (FP) / Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Health (RMNCH) services. Using a market development and health systems strengthening approach, BHF will support the Government of Pakistan (Go P) in Sindh & Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province and the private sector institutions to achieve three results:
As a member of the BHF consortium, Chemonics is one of the partners, implementing the Health System Strengthening (HSS) component. Our technical support to the government and local organizations aims to improve health system’s preparedness for pandemics and public health emergencies. This involves human resource training to scale up family planning client records in PPHI and DOH, as well as strengthening the regulatory processes of the Healthcare Commission. We facilitate public and private sector providers in self-registering their clinics/hospitals, digitizing inspection checklists, and linking offices of the Healthcare Commission and internal department processes and operations, all with a specific focus on improving access to FP/MNCH services.
