H: Olikoye Ransome-Kuti Hall (Millennium Hall)
The idea of placing a heath staff in a community to deliver close to client services started in a town in northern Ghana in the early 90s with focus on family planning. The result was fascinating and led to the expansion of the idea to delivery of more and integrated services with the active involvement of community members. This showed wonderful results and led to the adoption of CHPS as a national strategy. The policy frame work guiding the strategy is the focus of this presentation
Learning Objectives: Sharing expediencies in Policy initiation, formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of a health strategy at the community level.
