The first Technical Support Meeting, convened on July 19, 2025, at the State NHM Conference Room and chaired by the Mission Director of NHM and CAPED, brought together representatives from ICMR- NICPR AIIMS Delhi, IIT Delhi, as well as state and district officials. The meeting aimed to establish a structured technical support framework to enhance and boost health program implementation at the district level.
The discussion centered on strengthening partnerships between national research bodies and state health departments to tackle district-specific challenges effectively. Participants explored strategies to build capacity and address resource and infrastructure gaps at the district level.
Key outcomes included formal agreements on partnership mechanisms to ensure sustained cooperation, plans for capacity-building initiatives, and the introduction of a regular monitoring and evaluation system to assess performance continuously. These systems are designed to provide timely feedback and enable data-driven decision making, ensuring higher accountability.
This meeting laid the groundwork for an integrated support ecosystem linking national expertise with ground-level execution through formal frameworks. The focus on structured collaboration, capacity building, and systematic monitoring of tracking patient pathway with established timelines is expected to significantly improve program outcomes across districts.
The end goal is to create a sustainable model for cancer control where other states can also adopt.
