Babadam PHC is one of 122 facilities selected under the Internal Performance Agreement (IPA) model, an initiative under the Meghalaya Health Systems Strengthening Project (MHSSP) and funded by the World Bank. The IPA is a results-based financing approach designed to strengthen health facilities by linking performance with funding. Facilities are assessed on predefined indicators, and those achieving higher scores are eligible for additional resources and support. Through this model, the state aims to support these facilities in achieving NQAS certification, thus, strengthening systems, improving outcomes, and incentivizing continuous quality improvement. The success of Babadam PHC reflects months of preparation, capacity building, and quality improvement efforts undertaken by the PHC team with support from the Joint Directorate Quality Committee (JDQC), the office of the District Medical and Health Officer (DM&HO), WGH, the MHSSP and the National Health Mission (NHM). They have provided crucial mentorship and technical support throughout the certification journey
