Program Focus: Health Area, Patient Demographic, and Geography

How are Maternal and Child Health (MNCH) programs profiled by CHMI targeting their services? While some programs are very general in their focus, many target their activities to cater to a specific geographic area (e.g. urban, rural) or a specific segment of the population (e.g. children, women). In addition, while all programs featured on this topic page have a focus on MNCH, many are simultaneously focusing on other health areas (e.g. AIDS, tuberculosis).
