Supporting the Implementation of Meghalaya Health Systems Strengthening Project (MHSSP)

World Bank

Aimed at strengthening health services in the state, the MHSSP intends to improve accountability, quality, and utilisation of health services, especially among public facilities at PHC, CHC, and DH levels.

The Meghalaya Health Systems Strengthening Project (MHSSP) aims to improve health system performance and the quality of services through strategic investments in programme management, health insurance, and service delivery. IPE Global serves as the Project Management Agency for MHSSP, providing comprehensive programme management and monitoring support, assistance with procurement and financial management processes, and technical expertise as required under the project.

We are delivering techno-managerial support to the Department of Health and Family Welfare to implement health system strengthening initiatives across the state. Additionally, we have advised the Government of Meghalaya on establishing a digital health information system to enhance data-driven decision-making and service delivery.
