The PHC supervision rate is defined as the percentage of PHC clinics and CHCs visited by a supervisor at least once a month. Implicit in such a visit is a written visit report and feedback to facility staff. It is one of the most important determinants of quality of care as these supervisory visits are meant to highlight problem areas which the supervisor is expected to assist clinic staff to help resolve.
