SWASTH aimed to design and implement cutting-edge reforms for the health, nutrition and WASH sector in Bihar, to bring about lasting changes in the health and nutritional status of the people, particularly the poorest and socio-economically marginalised.
As Technical Assistance Support Team (TAST), we worked with the departments of Public Health & Family Welfare, Women & Child Development, Social Welfare and Public Health Engineering to assist the government in providing preventive and curative health services to the people of Bihar and improving its procurement systems and implementation arrangements. We helped build skills and strengthen capacity of these departments by focusing on improving equitable access to quality healthcare services, accountability of staff, organisational development and human resource development.
