FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR CBEHPP
oAvailability of political will - all levelsoSupportive DPsoAvailability of qualified personnel to implement CBEHPPoCBEHPP Roadmap though a review is neededoExistence of Health Clubs in all VillagesoPositive involvement of the Media.
CONCLUSION
We are inviting all our partners to actively support the programme (CBEHPP). While the Village Social Affairs and Environmental Health Officers are already available, their capacity to achieve positive results through CHCs requires technical support and motivation.
Appropriate training materials and financial resources for this noble cause are critical towards achieving effective implementation.
