The recently completed Family Health
Extension Project (FHEP) has provided support to
Brazil's Family Health Program (Programa de Saude da
Familia, or PSF) and allowed dramatic improvements in the
coverage of basic health services. The project aimed to
improve utilization and quality of publicly-financed health
services by: (a) expanding coverage of the PSF in about 100
large municipalities, establishing well-articulated referral
and counter-referral systems, and introducing
performance-based financing and management arrangements; (b)
establishing family health as a core element of health
professional and para-professional training; and (c)
strengthening the Ministry of Health's (MOH or
Ministerio da Saude) capacity to monitor and evaluate PSF
health services, policies, and training activities on a
systematic basis. |
