About the project
The urban population in India is proliferating, and by 2050 it will reach 877 million—almost two-thirds of India's population. Contrary to the popular notion of easier access to healthcare in urban areas, the health indicators of urban poor are often comparable or worse than their rural counterparts – including immunization, cancer screening, out-of-pocket expenses, etc. While the urban poor are highly susceptible to infectious diseases, they also bear the burden of non-communicable diseases due to their dietary practices.
To address this widening gap, the government has launched several programs for strengthening primary healthcare services in Urban India – National Urban Health Mission, National Health Policy (2017), and Fifteenth Finance Commission (XV FC). Despite these efforts, there is a need to draw policy and investment focus as well as ensure implementation of national programs in the Urban Primary Health Care landscape. PATH is providing Technical Assistance to states to improve access to primary healthcare services in select urban geographies. Under this goal, PATH will support the selected urban geographies with the following:
Enhance the accessibility of primary health care services through Technical Assistance for the implementation of National Urban Health programs and Quality Standards in Health and Wellness Centers. Strengthened capacity, efficiency, and resilience of the health systems. Catalyze community engagement for healthcare systems.
About the position
PATH is seeking an Urban Governance expert, for supporting and implementing the urban governance initiatives under the Urban Health program of the TIS vertical.
