Purpose and Overview

The purpose of this Scope of Work is to provide MNCRH services through Urban Health

Center to support Meerut MNCRH project of the department of health and Urban Health

Resource Centre as described.

Background

The Urban Health Resource Centre (UHRC), formerly EHP-India, located at New Delhi,

is a USAID supported urban health program committed to addressing the needs of the

urban poor. UHRC works with key partners to raise awareness and to improve the healthconditions in urban slums of select cities in India. The goal of UHRC is to learn from city

based demonstration programs and then apply these lessons to influence larger programs

such as the National Reproductive and Child Health (RCH II) program of the Government

of India through proactive information dissemination and advocacy. There are four main

components to the program: (a) demonstration models of urban health programs in select

cities (currently in Indore, Agra, Meerut, Bhopal and Delhi) (b) Technical Assistance to

the Government of India; State Governments (currently Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal,

Rajasthan, Maharashtra Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand) non-government

stakeholders and capacity building for urban health programming (c) research, advocacy

and knowledge management, and (d) resource mobilization

A Key area of work at UHRC is bridging the knowledge and information gaps which exist

related to health of the urban poor. UHRC undertakes primary research studies in its

program cities. Analysis of datasets such as NFHS and DLHS by Standard of Living

indices have been undertaken which provide information about the health status of the

urban poor compared with other economic groups in rural and urban areas. Urban health

Resource Center (UHRC) has recently entered into a partnership with John Hopkins

School of Public Health (JHU), Baltimore, USA, to develop and test a sustainable, cost-

effective and replicable health delivery approaches for the urban slums of Meerut city,

Uttar Pradesh, India. Selection of the study area (Meerut) has been based on the presence

of large urban slum population, existence of unlisted slums, pockets of underserved slum

population and underutilization of existing services. The purpose of the program is todevelop and test sustainable, cost-effective, and replicable health delivery approaches for

the urban poor. Characterization of different sub-populations and identification of their

needs, in addition to mapping of existing health services, followed by an assessment of the

availability, coverage, and quality of the health services will be conducted in phase I.

The out put of the phase I will help to design the intervention packages and approach of

health service delivery more effectively. In phase II, the program will develop and test

the effectiveness of different approaches on neonatal and infant mortality by improving

behaviors at the household level, generating demand increasing utilization of services, and

ensuring supply of quality health services.
