Background
The Republic of Madagascar has identified the elimination of major infectious diseases, the improvement of maternal and child health services, the strengthening of reference systems, and the improvement of nutritional status as important issues, and has been improving health and medical services with the help of international organizations, bilateral donors, and NGOs. In Mahajanga Province, many residents live in remote areas of the province, and access to health services is very poor. The increase in maternal and infant mortality, maternal and child malnutrition, and the incidence of infectious diseases such as AIDS are serious problems. The "Comprehensive Improvement Plan for Mahajanga University Hospital Center," a Franco-Japanese technical cooperation project, has contributed to the improvement of the reference system in the province and the local health and public health services, based on the approach of linking Mahajanga University Hospital, a higher-order medical institution, with the community. However, since the current facility environment and management system is not in a position to play a central role in strengthening and improving the system, we requested grant assistance for the construction of a maternal and child health center in Mahajanga Province.
