USAID quality health care project launches website

TANA. November 11. KAZINFORM On November 10, USAID launched its Quality Health Care Project website: www.QHCP.net. The USAID Quality Health Care Project is a five-year project that partners with Central Asian governments to improve the health status of Central Asians by building the capacity of public health systems to better meet the needs of vulnerable groups.

Since late 2010, the Quality Health Care Project has been providing technical assistance, training and equipment to assist the Central Asian republics to improve the quality, scope and coordination of health services. By incorporating modern quality improvement techniques and evidence-based international standards into ongoing reforms of health systems, the Quality Health Care Project is assisting Central Asian countries to improve their management, financing and implementation of health services related to tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, and cardiovascular disease. The Quality Health Care Project is also focused on empowering the community through knowledge and behavior change to improve the quality of services and personal wellbeing, the press service of the US Diplomatic Mission to Kazakhstan reports.

The Quality Health Care Project website will feature general project information, event coverage, success stories, technical reports, links to partner organizations, and multimedia to publicize and disseminate information on key public health issues.
