  5. What has worked well • Trained RH staff with medical background providing technical assistance to ProFam clinic providers • Providers given on site job training and supervision after recruitment • Quarterly stakeholder meetings-Award ceremonies have been a good way to share new learning between clinics

  6. What has been a challenge • Data entry and flow from clinics to HQs has been difficult and doesn’t feed into MoH HMIS • Annual licenses for providers and clinics are a bottleneck • Adherence of providers to PSI protocols such as infection control procedures • Intensive support supervision needed to maintain quality • Record keeping especially at the facilities is not yet adequate

  7. Addressing Challenges • Adherence to QA -Tools • Continuous QA improvements
