Supporting child and maternal health at primary healthcare (PHC) became one of the main priorities of Caritas Czech Republic’s work, especially during COVID-19. After fruitfully cooperating with UNICEF within two previous projects, we started a new initiative aiming at accessing quality maternal and child health (MCH) services at the rural PHC level through the introduction of remote healthcare services and the establishment of Primary Healthcare Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement Hub. The project financially supported by UNICEF, USAID and EU started in July 2022 and involves the doctors of 50 ambulatories across the whole country.
