  2. Increasing Access to Quality Healthcare

  3. Barriers to Accessing Quality Healthcare for Women and Children • Limited availability of timely and reliable health information • Poor access to and use of health facilities • Unnecessary visits to health centers, as well as, delays in seeking care • High burden on health systems

  4. Heath Center by Phone • Target Group • Women of childbearing age • Pregnant women • Mothers of children under five • Call Center • Point-of-care protocols on touchscreen devices • Provide health information, advise on home-based care (when appropriate), and refer caller to a health facility (when needed) • Tips & Reminders Service • Relevant health messaging • SMS and IVR

  5. Significant Impact on Knowledge and Behavior Among Users

  6. Well Utilized with High Satisfaction Rates • During the pilot more than 11,000 calls were made to the hotline and more than 6,000 individuals enrolled for the tips and reminders program; approximately 20% of women aged 15-49 used the service • 94% of CCPF users were satisfied with their hotline experience and 98% were satisfied with the tips and reminders service • Users cite ability to access the service from home and respectful treatment from hotline workers as major benefits of using CCPF • More than 75% of calls to CCPF’s hotline are resolved without a referral to a health facility “It’s good to call the hotline first, we call the hotline because you can find that there are no drugs [at the health center]… We can be wasting time walking to the health center.” - CCPF User
