Promoting quality RH/FP through centers of excellence (CoE) and expanding RH/FP/PAC strategies
Scale-up the FP/RH nationwide, expanding services and the same time maintaining the quality is an important goal of SUSTAIN. To ensure and encourage continuous quality improvement on provision of FP/RH services SUSTAIN developed criteria of quality care facility – Centers of excellence (CoE):
• High volume
• High impact (high level of recognition and influence)
• Existing Contraceptive Method Mix (Adequacy to facility type)
• Adequate resources (human, technical, infrastructure)
• Management support/high motivation
During the program implementation SUSTAIN will be selecting and nominating CoE - centers providing and promoting the best practices in Family Planning. After nomination these clinics will be equipped with appropriate tools and equipment to serve as learning laboratories. These learning centers will be a platform for replication of FP/RH best practices and a concept of supportive supervision.
