  2. Well Malika,
    It depends on the situation. Most of the time, FHCVs are facilitate by the Health Facility Workers+Local/District Level Health Workers(Male or female).IN this type of meetings, participatns are
    female only.
    Based on scenario, male members of health facility management committe members(what ever may be sex) would take part into the meeting .
