Announcement Type: Cooperative Agreement—FY 2005 Initial Announcement. Funding Opportunity Number: OGHA 05–018. OMB Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance: TBD, In Process. AGENCY: Authority: Section 103(a)(1); Section 103(a)(7) of Public Law 107–327; Public Health Service Act, Section 307. SUMMARY: The Office of Global Health Affairs (OGHA) announces that an estimated $1.5 million in fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds are available for one (1) cooperative agreement to strengthen leadership, healthcare administration and facility management and to improve operations and improve health care delivery at Rabia Balkhi Women’s Hospital (RBH) in Kabul, Afghanistan. This effort is a joint undertaking by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Afghanistan Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). The goal of this project is to create equitable and high quality care at Rabia Balkhi Women’s Hospital by developing effective leadership and management VerDate Aug<18>2005 13:21 Sep 02, 2005 Jkt 205001 and improving operations. The funding will provide essential material resources within budgetary limitations for patient care, operations, facility management and for grant activities related to leadership and management development at RBH. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the grantee and the Afghan MOPH will detail the differentiated responsibilities of the awardee toward RBH and the conditions under which the MOPH will transfer operational and logistical authority and responsibility for management and operations of RBH to the awardee. Alongside this support, through a separate, ongoing cooperative agreement, HHS is currently providing support for staff development and continuing education at RBH, and the Department of Defense is providing approximately $1.4M in infrastructure upgrades. This new cooperative agreement is not anticipated to involve training of the clinical staff at RBH, but should include limited training and capacity-building of administrative or executive management staff. HHS, in partnership with other relevant United States Government (USG) agencies anticipates involvement in the development, administration and oversight of this hospital management improvement program. The program will be approved initially for a threeyear period. It is estimated that approximately $1.5 million (including indirect costs) will be available in the first year. Funding for the cooperative agreement in subsequent years is contingent upon the availability of funds. DATES: Application Availability: September 6, 2005. Optional Letter of Intent due by 5 p.m. e.t. September 13, 2005. Application due by 5 p.m. e.t.: September 21, 2005. Award date: September 30, 2005. ADDRESSES: Application kits may be requested from, and applications submitted to: Ms. Karen Campbell, Director, Office of Grants Management, Office of Public Health and Science (OPHS), HHS, 1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite 550, Rockville, MD 20852. I. Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of the Agreement Afghanistan has one of the highest maternal mortality rates (MMR) in the world with a rate of 1,600 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. In Badakhshan Province, the MMR is 6,500, the highest maternal mortality rate ever reported globally. Preventable complications related to childbirth cause more than 85 percent of deaths PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 among women of childbearing age in Afghanistan. An estimated one in four children dies before reaching their fifth birthday. The government of Afghanistan has established the improvement in women and child health as one of its highest priorities. Hospital management within Afghanistan is of great concern to the MOPH and the international donor community. Competent hospital and clinic administration is critical to the efficient and effective provision of health care, particularly in resourceconstrained environments. Afghanistan is recovering from more than twenty years of civil unrest and war. This period has taken its toll on the quality of the entire spectrum of health care delivery, public health and health professional education. The public hospitals in Afghanistan, including those that provide critical care to women and children, face overwhelming problems in the areas of staffing, training, equipment, supplies and pharmaceuticals. One area of increasing concern is hospital leadership and management. Without effective and efficient administration, investments in the problem areas will have little probability of success. Without functioning hospital support services, such as patient record-keeping, human resources, financial management, housekeeping, laundry, physical plant and grounds maintenance, security and many other departments that allow a hospital to function well, the physicians, nurses and other clinical staff are not able to provide quality care. Rabia Balkhi Hospital was one of the referral hospitals for women under the Taliban and was declared the only women’s hospital in 1997. It is located adjacent to a major bazaar in District 2 of Kabul and consists of a large twostory building and two ancillary buildings within a courtyard. It has a theoretical in-patient capacity of 212 to 250 beds of which 80 to 100 are designated for Gynecology and Obstetrics. Approximately 25 to 30 deliveries occur each day and approximately 7,500 to 11,000 babies are delivered there each year. The hospital sees approximately 300 to 400 out patients daily. It is a referral hospital with no formal relations with other maternity departments or pediatric hospitals. Its main partner for sick newborns is Indira Gandhi Children’s Hospital, also in Kabul. A study of hospitals in Afghanistan by the Embassy of France (2002) indicated there were 95 physicians and 100 paramedics at RBH while MOPH data (2002) stated there were 265 health care E:\FR\FM\06SEN1.SGM 06SEN1
