    The key objective of the study was to assess whether RCH camps are being organised as per the set guidelines, the referral mechanism, follow-up activities and client satisfaction. It was an observational type of study in which the organisational activities of RCH camps were assessed through direct observation, in-depth interviews and exit-interviews of the beneficiaries in eight districts of Uttar Pradesh in the year 2007-2008. The study found that most of the CMOs/Dy. CMOs (87.5%) received guidelines from State but approximately half (37.5%) participated in State level training and organised district level training (25%). 75 per cent of Block Medical Officers I/c told that they had received guidelines and training to conduct RCH camps, and among para-medical service providers most (88.24%) received training to organise RCH camps. In majority of the places problem faced by para-medical workers was work overload (50%) and approximately half of the places lack of staff (33.33%) was the main problem. Approximately half of the places of CMO/Dy. CMO (37.5%) suggested that increase in manpower (medical and para-medical) especially surgeons is a must to improve quality of RCH camps. Increase in budget (25%) and re-orientation training of ANM, ASHA and other para-medical staff (25%) were other suggestions.
