1 PART 1. RURAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN INDIA

2 Rural Health Care System the structure and current scenario The primary health care infrastructure in rural areas has been developed as a three tier system and is based on the following population norms: Table 1. Population Norms Centre Plain Area Hilly/Tribal/Difficult Area Sub-Centre Primary Health Centre 30,000 20,000 Community Health Centre 1,20,000 80,000 Sub-Centres (SCs) 1.2. The Sub-Centre is the most peripheral and first contact point between the primary health care system and the community. Each Sub-Centre is manned by one Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) and one Male Health Worker MPW(M). One Lady Health Worker (LHV) is entrusted with the task of supervision of six Sub-Centres. Sub-Centres are assigned tasks relating to interpersonal communication in order to bring about behavioral change and provide services in relation to maternal and child health, family welfare, nutrition, immunization, diarrhea control and control of communicable diseases programmes. The Sub-Centres are provided with basic drugs for minor ailments needed for taking care of essential health needs of men, women and children. The Department of Family Welfare is providing 100% Central assistance to all the Sub- Centres in the country since April 2002 in the form of salary of ANMs and LHVs, rent at the rate of Rs. 3000/- per annum and contingency at the rate of Rs. 3200/- per annum, in addition to drugs and equipment kits. The salary of the Male Worker is borne by the State Governments. Under the Swap Scheme, the Government of India has taken over an additional Sub Centres from State Governments / Union Territories since April, 2002 in lieu of 5434 number of Rural Family Welfare Centres transferred to the State Governments / Union Territories. There are Sub Centres functioning in the country as on September, Primary Health Centres (PHCs) 1.3. PHC is the first contact point between village community and the Medical Officer. The PHCs were envisaged to provide an integrated curative and preventive health care to the rural population with emphasis on preventive and promotive aspects of health care. The PHCs are established and maintained by the State Governments under the Minimum Needs Programme (MNP)/ Basic Minimum Services Programme (BMS). At present, a PHC is manned by a Medical Officer supported by 14 paramedical and other staff. It acts as a referral unit for 6 Sub Centres. It has 4-6 beds for patients. The activities of PHC involve curative, preventive, primitive and Family Welfare Services. There are PHCs functioning as on September, 2004 in the country. 1

6 Community Health Centres (CHCs) 1.4. CHCs are being established and maintained by the State Government under MNP/BMS programme. It is manned by four medical specialists i.e. Surgeon, Physician, Gynecologist and Pediatrician supported by 21 paramedical and other staff. It has 30 in-door beds with one OT, X- ray, Labour Room and Laboratory facilities. It serves as a referral centre for 4 PHCs and also provides facilities for obstetric care and specialist consultations. As on September, 2004, there are 3222 CHCs functioning in the country. 2. Strengthening of Rural Health Infrastructure 2.1. With a view of improving facilities in the existing rural health infrastructure under Reproductive and Child Health Programme, the Government of India is assisting all the States in improving/ constructing labour room, operation theatre and providing water/ electricity supply in CHCs/ PHCs etc. so that essential and emergency obstetric services are improved. Minor Civil Works 2.2. An amount of Rs.10 lakh per district has been released to the States for minor repair and maintenance of buildings, especially for operation theatres, labour rooms and for carrying out improvements in water and electric supply. Major Civil Works 2.3. An amount of Rs. 10 lakh per CHC/ district hospital is available for release to all the States to improve facilities for essential and emergency obstetric services through providing water supply and electricity, construction/repair of operation theatre, labour room/ or to provide/improve facilities for hospitals. Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana [PMGY] 2.4. The PMGY is an initiative to expand outreach and coverage in the provisioning for basic minimum services in rural areas, with a view to improving the quality of lives that people lead The Planning Commission of India has allocated an Additional Central Assistance, , of Rs.2800 crores for six sectors viz. Rural Electrification, Primary Health, Primary Education, Shelter, Drinking Water and Nutrition. The Planning Commission has conveyed that during , the mandatory earmarking for all components except nutrition will be limited to 10% of the ACA allocation of a state/ut as against a ceiling of 15% during the previous year, While the States and UTs must allocate 65% of their total ACA towards the six sectors, the allocation of the remaining 35% of the ACA would be determined by the States/UTs on the basis of their own priorities Funds under the PMGY are to be utilized to further the goals and objectives of primary health care as per the following guidelines: i. 50% towards strengthening the functioning of the existing primary health care facilities by provisioning for: A. Procurement of drugs (other than those supplied under the National Disease Control, Family Welfare Programme, Externally Aided Projects 5

7 etc.) as well as essential consumables, including disposable delivery kits, reagents, X-ray films etc. for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. 2% of the funds allocated to the Primary Health Sector under PMGY are to be earmarked for purchase of the ISM&H Drugs. B. Contingencies for meeting travel costs of the ANMs, maintenance of installed equipments and fixtures, inclusive of bed linen, repair of essential, repairs / replacement of furniture and movables like beds and bed-equipment, fixtures and furnishings for operation theatres, and generators. ii. 50% towards strengthening, repair and maintenance of the infrastructure in Subcentres, Primary health Centres and in Community Health Centres, inclusive of staff quarters. Priority may be accorded to ensuring potable water supply, adequate toilet facilities, and waste management at district hospitals and in facilities below district hospitals Paras 2.6. (i) and (ii) above refers to the entire allocation towards Primary Health Care under PMGY i.e. the 10% earmarked for this sector, plus the additional allocation made at the discretion of the state governments from the 35% unallocated funds PMGY funds will be released in half yearly instalments upon receipt of Statements of Expenditure from state governments. Utilization Certificates/Audited Statement will be due from ;state governments at the end of each financial year As a rule of thumb, about 40% of the PMGY funds provided to the States should be allocated towards strengthening the existing infrastructure so that it steadily becomes fully functional. To begin with, it is suggested that attention may be paid to the bottom 20% districts, so identified in terms of the their infant mortality rate (IMR)/crude birth rate (CBR) as per Census Available data from facility survey conducted by the Department of Family Welfare and the facility surveys carried out by states may be utilized to identify geographical areas and specific primary health facilities that need strengthening, and therefore become eligible to be assigned the PMGY funds under the items 4.6 (i) and (ii) Caution may be exercised to avoid duplication. Any facility being strengthened under any other ongoing project / programme should ordinarily be excluded from additional funding State Govts./UTs are not required to seek prior approval of Deptt. of Family Welfare /Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, GOI, before incurring expenditures under the PMGY if these expenditures are in accordance with the scheme outlined in para 4.6 above. 3.

12 Number Number Number 4. Rural Health Infrastructure - a statistical overview The Centres Functioning 4.1. The entire family welfare programme is being implemented through Primary Health Care system. The Primary Health Care Infrastructure has been developed as a three tier system with Sub Centre, Primary Health Centre (PHC) and Community Health Centre (CHC) being the three pillars of Primary Health Care System. Progress of Sub Centres, which is the most peripheral contact point between the Primary Health Care System and the community, is a prerequisite for the overall progress of the entire system. A look at the number of Sub Centres functioning over the years reveal that at the end of the Sixth Plan ( ) there were 84,376 Sub Centres. The figure rose to 1,30,165 at the end of Seventh Plan ( ) and to 1,36,258 at the end of Eighth Plan ( ). At present, as on September, 2004, 1,42,655 Sub Centres are functioning in the country.

13 Number Percentage Similar progress can be seen in the number of PHCs which was 9115 at the end of sixth plan ( ) and the figure almost doubled to at the end of Seventh Plan ( ) and rose to at the end of Eighth Plan ( ). As on September, 2004, there are PHCs functioning in the country. In accordance with the progress in the number of SCs and PHCs, the number of CHCs has also increased from 761 at the end of Sixth Plan ( ) to 1910 at the end of Seventh Plan ( ) and 2633 at the end of Eighth Plan ( ). As on September, 2004, 3222 CHCs are functioning. According to the figures of population based on 2001 Population Census, the shortfall in the rural health infrastructure comes out to be of Sub Centres, 4436 PHCs and 3332 CHCs. Building Status 4.2. About 50.6% of Sub Centres, 84.1% of PHCs and 86.7% of CHCs are located in the Government buildings. The rest are located either in rented building or rent free Panchayat/ Voluntary Society buildings. As on September, 2004, in case of Sub Centres, overall buildings are required to be constructed. Similarly, for PHCs 1693 and for CHCs 318 buildings are required to be constructed. Graph 2. Percentage of Sub Centres, PHCs and CHCs functioning in Government buildings Sub Centres PHCs CHCs Manpower 4.3. The existing manpower is an important prerequisite for the efficient functioning of the Rural Health Infrastructure. As on September, 2004 the overall total shortfall (which excludes the existing surplus in some of the states) in the posts of MPW(F) / ANM was Similarly, in case of MPW(M), there was a shortfall of In case of Health Assistant (Female)/LHV, the shortfall was of 3198 and that of Health Assistant (Male) was Graph 3A. Shortfall in manpower MPW(F)/ANM MPW(M)/HW(M) LHV/Health Assistants(F) Shortfall Health Assistant(M) 12

14 Percentage Even out of the sanctioned posts, a significant percentage of posts are vacant at all the levels. For instance, about 5.4% of the sanctioned posts of MPW(Female)/ ANM were vacant as compared to about 27.1% of the sanctioned posts of MPW(Male)/Male Health Worker. At PHC, about 12.6% of the sanctioned posts of Female Health Assistant/ LHV, 25.2% of Male Health Assistant and 10.9% of the sanctioned posts of doctors were vacant. Graph 3B. Vacancy Position - Percentage of Sanctioned Post Vacant MPW(F)/ANM MPW(M)/HW(M) LHV/Health Assistants(F) Health Assistant(M) Doctors at PHC 4.4. At the Sub Centre level the extent of existing manpower can be assessed from the fact that about 5% of the Sub Centres were without a Female Health Worker / ANM, about 38.9% Sub Centres were without a Male Health Worker and about 1.3% Sub Centres were without both Female Health Worker / ANM as well as Male Health Worker. This indicates a large shortfall in Male Health Workers, resulting in poor male participation in Family Welfare and other health programmes and overburdening of the ANMs. Graph 4.

Overall about 37.1% of the sanctioned posts of specialists at CHCs were vacant. Moreover, there was a shortfall of 5339 specialists at the CHCs as compared to the requirement on the basis of existing norms. 5. National Rural Health Mission Under the mandate of National Common Minimum Programme (NCMP) of UPA Government, health care is one of the seven thrust areas of NCMP, wherein it is proposed to increase the expenditure in health sector from current 0.9 % of GDP to 2-3% of GDP over the next five years, with main focus on Primary Health Care.
