The overall goal of the PHC project was to contribute towards keeping mortality and morbidity among children under 5 and pregnant women on a constant declining rate in Malawi. It was intended to meet the 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4 &5 by averting drug shortages over the implementation of the project. Operational objectives included: the implementation of an efficient and accountable supply chain system; national level project oversight; a functioning independent monitoring mechanism; health workers sensitized and knowledgeable about the kit items; and an effective communication campaign that sensitized communities about the kit project.
In addition, in order to address longer term national supply system concerns, the Central Medical Stores Trust (CMST) was to receive 55% of the kit costs from recipient MOH and CHAM facilities to support their recapitalization initiative.
