Evaluation of CCSP Scheme under NRHM

“Comprehensive Child Survival Program (CCSP) is one of the most important
components of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) launched in 2005 with the primary objectives of reducing the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) during or after delivery. CCSP has been launched in the state of Uttar Pradesh with the prime objective of reducing IMR that currently stands at 53:1000. Under CCSP, New Born Care Corner (NBCC) has been established at Block Primary Health Centre/Community Health Centre and Sick New Born Care Unit (SNCU) has been established at District Hospitals. 10 days CCSP training has been imparted to ASHAs and ANMs. Doctors and nurses have also been trained under CCSP and dedicated staff has been posted at these health units. “
