Title of Project: Mitanin Programme as Health System Reform Duration: 2002 onwards Implementing Agencies: Department of Health & Family Welfare, Government of Chhattisgarh. Coverage: In all 16 districts and 146 blocks Objectives • y To provide preliminary cure at hamlet level for common ailments. • y To organise and empower women and weaker sections of society. • y To strengthen role of Panchayats in health sector. • y To promote grassroots health planning. • y To integrate training, deployment, support and monitoring of Community Health Activists (Mitanins) to yield measurable outcomes. Programme Structure State level: State Health Resource Centre is a state civil society partnership institution guided by a State Advisory Committee with about 30 people comprising training cum monitoring team. District level: District RCH society and District Coordination Committee/Task Force. Highlights of the programme Measuring performance: Mitanins’ performance is measured by indicators which include number of newborn who received 6 designated visits; pregnant women motivated to go for ANC check-up; visits to children under 3 years for nutrition advice; medicines given; advise given on home/herbal remedies; referrals made for institutional delivery, family planning, cataract, TB, leprosy; check if VHSNC had a meeting during the month; cases addressed relating to nutrition security and social exclusion; support to women affected by domestic violence. Monitoring: Mitanin performance is monitored though MIS reports filled by Mitanin trainers who ask them oral information in their monthly cluster meetings; MIS reports are consolidated by Block Coordinator at block level and District Coordinators at district level. Role of Supportive Supervision Supportive Supervision under Mitanin programme was used to enhance performance of the cadre through regular interactions with trained facilitator’s within field setting. However, it was neither aimed at generating data for monitoring nor to take punitive action against poor performing Mitanins.
