The CCT program
'Conditional cash transfers (CCT) are a stepping stone to universal health
coverage, not just help for individual families'. CCT program gives cash
transfers to poor families, provided, among other things, that pregnant
household members seek antenatal care and a health professional delivers the
baby. It requires that children aged 5 years and younger are immunized and
monitored in case of malnutrition, and that children aged 6 to 14 are dewormed
twice a year. More than just granting cash, the program intends to break the
vicious intergenerational nature of poverty.
