Enhancing Primary Health Care Services in Tajikistan
Health indicators in Tajikistan are among the poorest in Central Asia. The health system suffers from poor quality of health care services, chronic underfunding, and the implementation of the ongoing reforms is slow. The SDC project supports these reforms by increasing the planning and management capacities of health institutions at all levels, investing in basic rehabilitation of infrastructure, and by empowering the population to take responsibility for their own health and to hold the state accountable.

Contexte |
Poverty remains a central development issue in Tajikistan, and Health indicators are among the poorest in Central Asia. The soviet-style health system was comprehensive but highly centralised and inefficient. The current National Health Strategy 2010-2020 restates the Government’s commitment to continue the profound health care reforms initiated in 2000. These reforms aim at optimizing health care by focusing on an effective Primary Health Care (PHC) system based on family medicine. However, the implementation pace of health reforms in Tajikistan has been slow, due to a combination of factors including poor governance and chronic underinvestment which stem from poor human capacity to plan, execute, and monitor attributed to every level of health service provision. |
Objectifs |
Women, men and children in rural areas enjoy better health. |
Groupes cibles |
The project will target staff of the lead health institutions, health care managers from 140 primary health care facilities and community groups in 5 rayons. Indirectly, 1.2 million people out of total 8.4 million living in Tajikistan will have improved access to better quality primary health care services. |
