Working with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) on this four-year project, MSH will help significantly improve primary health care services for the earthquake-affected populations in Bagh and Mansehra districts in northern Pakistan. PRIDE will

  • strengthen the financial and human resource management capacities of district health authorities and primary health care providers,
  • improve access to and quality of primary health care services through an essential package of health services and improved skills of primary health personnel, and
  • increase community demand for quality services through an innovative social mobilization process aimed at increasing knowledge for informed decision-making.

The PRIDE consortium—whose members joined forces to respond to primary health care needs in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake—is comprised of IRC, MSH, JHPIEGO, and Population Council.
