The Bolivia - Expanding Access to Reduce Health Inequities Project (APL III) aims: to reduce occurrence of critical risk factors affecting maternal and infant health in the targeted areas so that current gaps between regions are reduced; to reduce chronic malnutrition among children under two years of age in the targeted areas; to increase health insurance coverage in the targeted areas; and to upgrade the National Health Information System (Sistema Nacional de Informacion en Salud-SNIS) so that it will be integrated with Bolivia's new health insurance program. The project includes the following components: stewardship role of health authorities -- essential functions in public health; family, community and intercultural health; health insurance; and project administration.
