Supporting the Implementation of Meghalaya Health Systems Strengthening Project (MHSSP)

The World Bank

Aimed at strengthening health services in the state, the MHSSP intends to improve accountability, quality, and utilisation of health services, especially among public facilities at PHC, CHC, and DH levels.

MHSSP aims to improve the performance of the health system and the quality of services through strategic investments in programme management, health insurance, and service delivery.

As the Project Management Agency (PMA), we have been providing a comprehensive programme management and monitoring support, assistance with procurement and financial management processes, and technical expertise. We deliver techno-managerial support to the Department of Health and Family Welfare to implement health system strengthening initiatives across the State. Additionally, we assist the State government with establishing a digital health information system to enhance data-driven decision-making and service delivery.

Key Milestones

  • Developed a comprehensive MHSSP website and sub-systems like PPMS (Project Performance Monitoring System).
  • Set up a tendering and procurement management system at MHSSP and trained the point person and team in procurement, tendering, and contract/ vendor management.
