FRONTIERS PROJECT
Using Systematic Screening to Enhance Integration of Reproductive Health
Service Delivery in Senegal
With the Division of Reproductive Health and the Ministry of Health and Prevention, FRONTIERS developed and tested a system to routinely screen clients for unmet reproductive and other health needs and offer needed services. The experimental centers were four health posts in the city of Dakar and three rural health posts in Kébémer Health District. Nearly all providers complied with the screening, which resulted in the provision of 20 percent more services in Dakar and 35 percent more services in Kébémer. The most frequently identified reproductive health needs were for family planning (20 percent and 45 percent, respectively) and vaccination for children under age 5 (38 percent and 36 percent, respectively). The increase in services provided was accompanied by increased costs to facilities; these costs should be assessed before scaling up the model.
