Program Development Objectives (PDO) and PDO Level Results Indicators

The PDO is to improve quality of care, strengthen management of non-communicable diseases and injuries, and reduce inequities in reproductive and child health services in Tamil Nadu.

The PDO will be achieved by supporting strengthening of the Tamil Nadu Health System. The Program supports a combination of technical interventions and cross-cutting institutional strengthening interventions to achieve the PDO results.
