Focus Areas

Key Programmes

Maternal and Newborn

Maternal and neonatal mortality ratios are indicators of a state’s health status. In Bihar, these numbers were a challenge since the maternal and neonatal complication identification and management rates were poor.

ICT and Digitization

CARE Bihar supported Central Program Management Unit of Poshan Abhiyaan in conducting training across the states. Numerous important portals, apps and tools have been devised by the team which is part of health system strengthening process in Bihar.
