Data were collected by personal interview of medical officers. The information collected was about on staff availability, training, logistics.

Results: All medical officers were trained in IMNCI except one PHC. IMNCI registers were available at 86% of the PHCs, while chart booklets were available at 71% of the PHCs.The monthly reporting format, ORS packets, paracetamol, chloroquine were available at all PHCs while cotrimoxazole, iron (kid) & Vitamin A  were available at 79% ,86% and 57% of the PHCs respectively. The Inj. Gentamycin and Inj. Ampicillin were available only at 13(92.9%) and 11(78.6%) of the PHCs respectively.
