Job ID: IJOB202663314

Background: Bangladesh government is yet to develop urban primary healthcare (PHC) like rural PHC in Bangladesh. Hence, urban PHC is dependent on the Out Patient Department (OPD) of public and private secondary/tertiary/specialized hospitals. Hence, a huge portion of the urban dwellers especially vulnerable community remain deprived of getting healthcare. Eventually, the Out of Pocket (OOP) expenditure on health is exceeding the limit for receiving healthcare from almost unregulated private sector. At this backdrop, Model Urban PHC Clinics (Aalo Clinics) project has been in place designed and developed by a group of experts. Based on the model, Partners in Health and Development - PHD (along with two implementing partners; CMED and NARI MAITREE) has been assigned by UNICEF as the lead organization to implement a sustainable system to manage GP centers focused on performance-based payment (P4P) system by the empaneled GPs and allied health workers. The objective is to deliver all components of ESP service both in PHC clinic and community level with a view to promote urban PHC to government for wider scale-up.
