 ‘Community Based Monitoring of Public  Health Services’ an innovative

 culminates in  a yearly Public Accountability meetings at many places in 
 which the performance of the concerned Public Health Facility is 
 systematically analyzed in a Public Meeting; critical questions are asked 
 and promises for specific improvements are sought. This process of a kind
