Action © UNICEF Philippines UNICEF trains barangay health workers to administer immunization to children in remote barangays. Health We know what works, and how, but we need to do more to reach the most vulnerable. The UNICEF supports strategy supports the Government’s Universal Health Care Agenda and Poverty Reduction Initiatives to serve the poorest families and most vulnerable groups, particularly women and their new-born babies and beneficiaries of the conditional cash transfer programme. In line with UNICEF’s equity focus on regions identified by the government as the most disadvantaged, the programme will be implemented in areas that have the lowest number and coverage of health facilities and skilled birth attendance while nationally supporting the institutionalization of standards to improve the quality of services for mothers and children along the continuum of care.
By 2014, the UNICEF Health Programme seeks to increase the quality of care, coverage of births attended by skilled birth attendants, and attendants and the number of deliveries in health facilities facility-based deliveries with postnatal and neonatal care among mothers and new-born babies by 15 per cent in 20 identified vulnerable local government units (LGUs) and in urban poor settlements. In line with UNICEF’s thrust to focus on regions identified by the government as the most disadvantaged, the programme will be implemented in the most vulnerable areas that have the lowest number and coverage of health facilities and skilled birth attendance. To ensure that efforts can be sustained and scaled up UNICEF prioritizes fighting the illnesses and conditions that claim the most children’s lives.
To accelerate progress and save far more lives, UNICEF will work mainly with local government units (LGUs) and advocate their efficient use of resources as primary agents of service delivery and systems building.
