CRADLE’s SATH Approach - Outcomes• Where SATH is applied more women from marginalized
communities are participating in the mother groups and accessing health services
• Some of the HFOMC members are concerned and committed to upgrading their respective health facility to birthing center.
• There is a greater demand for quality health services• Re-organization of outreach clinics which has increased coverage
of key health indicators in the poor performing clusters• Greater participation of Dalits and other PVSE, they have utilized
services more than before• Inclusion of PLHA• Inclusion of MIL, Husbands and FIL – changed perception towards
women’s health, increase in supporting behavior for MNH care
