| Brief Description of Assignment |
: |
Unlike the well synchronized rural health system down to community clinic, the urban health system still lacs a synergy of health care facilities. The Urban Primary Health Care Project (UPHCP) has been therefore opted as a turn-key initiative by the Government of Bangladesh in response to rapid urbanization as well as growing inequalities in accessing quality of primary health care. It aims to improve health status of the urban poor living in city corporations and municipalities through the provision of health care services. Several NGOs have been contracted to deliver the primary health in accordance with the GOB set standards.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) in Bangladesh upholds the priority towards achieving equity in health care, including gender equity in its bid to reach the health related SDGs. In 2014, the MoHFW developed a Gender Equity Strategy for gender mainstreaming in health. The Gender, NGO, Stakeholder Participation Unit (GNSPU), being the gender focal point of MoHFW undertakes activities for addressing overall gender and equity issues within the MoHFW.
GNSPU with technical and financial assistances from icddr,b, and UNFPA Bangladesh, have undertaken a study to identify gender responsive indicators in health services delivery. By undertaking the study, GNSPU seeks to ascertain the health outcomes of urban health care system against a set of selected gender sensitive indicators across various urban area in the country. The findings are expected to portray a current scenario of gender responsiveness of the urban health system and also create an evidence base to design future interventions and strategic policies to enhance gender mainstreaming of the urban health care.
Objectives
1. To understand the scopes and utilisation of urban primary health care services across its catchment areas.
2. To unveil gender disaggregated barriers to accessing the urban health services.
