Recommendations
The conference, acknowledging the importance of
reproductive health and further considering the key
issues identified during the RH program review,
recommended:
a. The need to consider male reproductive issues
such as infertility;
b. To collaborate with the district health office towards
furthering the mother and child health through
incorporation of new components;
c. The district maternal and neonatal death review
committee (DMNDRC) to be reinforced and ensure
timely submission of complete report;
d. To revive and provide competency based training
for EmONC to the new doctors and nurses; and,
e. To study family planning practices and strengthen
adolescent sexual reproductive health and to waive
off the wage compensation for permanent family
planning methods.
The conference noting the need to strengthen
accessibility to improved sanitation and hygiene
endorsed the way forward proposed by the division.
In addition, the conference strongly recommended the
following:
a. Incorporate sanitation and hygiene as a priority
agenda in the 11th FYP both at the Central and
Dzongkhag level and to consider sanitation as a
separate component (not as a sub-set of water);
and,
b. Dzongkhags to collect data (RWSS Coverage and
Functionality) based on the Geog based Rural Water
Supply Scheme MIS and report to the division by
December 2011.
