Key challenges
The progress in performance is directly linked not only to capital investment, but
also to increased recurrent inputs (maintenance security, drugs, skilled manpower,
etc.) implying that the flow of key recurrent inputs should be assured in future.
Initiatives for referral system should continue with renewed emphasis on IEC
Lessons learnt
Civil works

General
Since the public hospitals in West Bengal are used predominantly by poorer section, most
of the project benefits went to the poor. However, for a full-proof safety net, free
availability of all drugs must be ensured.
More involvement of district health staff from the very beginning of a project is necessary.
