If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the bank's documents, the proposed project "will support the GoI to implement this ambitious reform agenda to transform the delivery and quality of essential health services as well as underlying accountability mechanisms needed to enable such reforms. The proposed Program will tackle reforms related to ensuring comprehensive access to health services, prioritizing quality of care and revamping health financing and accountability, specifically addressing the following challenges: (i) weak primary health care; (ii) neglected urban health; (iii) relatively weaker focus on process quality and patient outcomes; (iv) HRH challenges; (v) low levels of funds utilization across states; and (vi) strong focus on input-based planning and budgeting. This will be reflected bythree key result areasas outlined below."

You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org.
