2. GPAF

Although it is now widely recognized that reductions in maternal mortality and improvements in women's health cannotbe achieved through simple, vertical strategies, few programs have provided successful models for how to integrateservices into a comprehensive program for maternal health. Considering the importance of availability accessibilityand quality of health services for maternal health, Oxfam India has been actively engage in addressing the issue ofmaternal health through community partnership and ownership in its target Area. Village Health Sanitation andNutrition Committees (VHSNC) are a special task force formed and oriented by Oxfam India in 70 villages of 3 Districtsnamely Kishanganj, Supoul and Sitamarhi of Bihar through 2 implementing NGO (BVHA and Bihar Gramin Vikas Parishad)partners to tackle the issue of maternal health. Oxfam India has been implementing an intensive program to enhancematernal health since March 2012. Under this initiative, maternal health is being given focus through active involvementof VHSNCs. Pregnant women will be reached through time and targeted counselling by frontline workers (ASHAs,Anganwadi Workers and Volunteers). The set of messages has been categorized that needs to be delivered to theVHSNCs. These committees are being oriented and mentored by GPAF staffs. Community based monitoring isrecognized as an effective strategy to ensure quality of services

Motherhood is an event of joy and celebration for every family. However, high maternal mortality during pregnancy,childbirth and post partum period is a matter of great concern in the project areas. Maternal mortality is strongindicator for measuring the attention paid to the health care of the women.

Strategy for maternal mortality reduction focused on building a well functioning Primary Health Care System, whichcan provide essential obstetric care service with a backbone on skill birth attendant for every birth, whether it takesplace in the facility or at home, which is linked to a well developed referral system with an access to obstetric care forall women who experience complications. GPAF project is holistic approach based project which touch all thedeterminants of maternal health. There is also process for sustainability so that changes will remain after life ofproject. Ultimately, health care is responsibility of concerned department but in this project area there is lack ofaccountability at various departments’ level. The project activities like; social audit, advocacy workshops for referralservices are making them accountable

RESULTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

1. VHSNC as a successful model:VHSC was formed in all the 32 intervention villages. InBihar the VHSC has been formed at the Panchayatlevel. All of them trained on their roles,responsibilities and the services provided underNRHM.

3. Arsenic Mitigation

Brief report for Arsenic Mitigation project Vaishali-Bihar:

Project at a Glance:

BVHA has been implementing Arsenic mitigation project on the basis of impact assessment and learnt best practicesfrom our outgoing project at Mannar Block Patna District –Bihar. This project focused on for awareness buildingcampaign towards the Arsenic containment water in Ganga plain. Presently we have introduced same project atBidupur Block of Valishali District of Bihar is also highly affected. People in the area used surface water until 1970s, butto decrease the incidence of water borne diseases and high infant mortality rate due to bacterial contaminated water,people have started using ground water (low depth tube well) as it is economical. The over exploitation of groundwater changed the aquifer chemistry leading to release of arsenic in ionic form. The ingestion of arsenic contaminatedwater is a serious health hazard and may cause many serious dermatological, cardio-vascular, cytological, geneticallyand mental abnormalities including cancer.

8. Axshya Project

Tuberculosis Control Programme-Axshya Project:

Project Axshya (meaning 'TB-Free') adds a new dimension to TB control in India through community 'ownership' andcivil society-led public health programming. The project is managed by the International Union against Tuberculosis andLung Disease control (The Union) through The Union South-East Asia Office (USEA), and implemented by USEA's ninecore sub-recipient partners across India. It is a landmark project funded by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosisand Malaria (The Global Fund). As part of its larger Round 9 TB grant to India, with The Government of India, The Unionand World Vision India as the three principal recipients. It is an expansive and ambitious advocacy, community andsocial mobilisation project, with the Union component covering 300 districts across 21 states in India, to reach about570 million people.

Bihar has about 180,000 new cases of TB everyyear, and there are hurdles throughout the deliverychain. Case-finding is hard since patients preferprivate providers who are not integrated with thenational TB control program (NTCP). Patients inprivate care typically stop taking drugs after amonth or two because of poverty. Diagnosis isdifficult since only 30-50% of patients test positive.The rest are diagnosed using questionable bloodtests, or by using antibiotics to rule out otherrespiratory diseases. Finally, ensuring adherenceover 6-8 months is challenging. Meeting with Dr. Jawahar singh, CS-Munger

For instance, asymptomatic and often undernourished patients may have little incentive to take drugs that causegastrointestinal side-effects. Others might migrate to cities for work.The consequence is that only half the case load ismanaged by the RNTCP. Patients seeking private care run up large debts, report extremely poor adherence, and are athigh risk for mortality and drug resistance.

Voluntary Health Association of India, New Delhi is implementing the Project Axshya in nine districts in the state ofBihar where Bihar Voluntary Health Association is supporting in coordination, field monitoring and supervision,
