WHAT IS HEALTH?
 Health is a state of complete physical, mental, social well being and
not just merely absence of a disease.
 It has always been the centre of every policy issued by the
government in public interest.
 The health care delivery system is defined as the system of
professionals working towards providing the best care facility to the
population within available financial assets.
 Health care delivery system of India is divided into three phases or
levels which are primary, secondary and tertiary.
 These systems play a vital role in development and management of
policies related to health of the population.
HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM
 Due to the India's federalized system of government, the areas of governance
and operations of health system in India have been divided between the union
and the state governments.
 India has a mixed health-care system, inclusive of public and private health-care
service providers.
 The best way to provide health care to underserved rural and urban poor is to
develop effective Primary Health Care services supported by an appropriate
referral system.
 The recommendation for three-tiered health-care system to provide preventive
and curative health care in rural and urban areas placing health workers on
government payrolls and limiting the need for private practitioners became the
principles on which the current public health-care systems were founded.
 This was done to ensure that access to primary care is independent of individual
socioeconomic conditions.
HISTORY
 Report on the Health Survey and Development Committee,
commonly referred to as the Bhore Committee Report, 1946, has
been a landmark report for India, from which the current health
policy and systems have evolved.
 Although the first national population program was announced in
1951, the first National Health Policy of India (NHP) got formulated
only in 1983 with its main focus on provision of primary health care to
all by 2000.
 NHP 2002 further built on NHP 1983, with an objective of provision of
health services to the general public through decentralization, use of
private sector and increasing public expenditure on health care
overall.

SUB CENTERS
 A sub-center (SC) is established in a plain area with a population of
5000 people and in hilly/difficult to reach/tribal areas with a
population of 3000, and it is the most peripheral and first contact
point between the primary health-care system and the community.
 Each SC is required to be staffed by at least one auxiliary nurse
midwife (ANM)/female health worker and one male health worker
 Under National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), there is a provision for
one additional ANM on a contract basis.
 SCs 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 programs.
 The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare is providing 100% central
assistance to all the SCs in the country since April 2002 in the form of
salaries, rent and contingencies in addition to drugs and
equipment.
PRIMARY HEALTH CENTERS
 A primary health center (PHC) is established in a plain area with a
population of 30 000 people and in hilly/difficult to reach/tribal areas
with a population of 20 000, and is the first contact point between the
village community and the medical officer.
 PHCs were envisaged to provide integrated curative and preventive
health care to the rural population with emphasis on the preventive
and promotive aspects of health care.
 The PHCs are established and maintained by the State Governments
under the Minimum Needs Program (MNP)/Basic Minimum Services
(BMS) Program.
 As per minimum requirement, a PHC is to be staffed by a medical
officer supported by 14 paramedical and other staff.
 Under NRHM, there is a provision for two additional staff nurses at
PHCs on a contract basis.
 It acts as a referral unit for 5-6 SCs and has 4-6 beds for in-patients.
 The activities of PHCs involve health-care promotion and curative
services.
COMMUNITY HEALTH
CENTERS
 Community health centers (CHCs) are established and maintained
by the State Government under the MNP/BMS program in an area
with a population of 120 000 people and in hilly/difficult to
reach/tribal areas with a population of 80 000.
 As per minimum norms, a CHC is required to be staffed by four
medical specialists, that is, surgeon, physician,
gynecologist/obstetrician and pediatrician supported by 21
paramedical and other staff.
 It has 30 beds with an operating theater, X-ray, labor room and
laboratory facilities.
 It serves as a referral center for PHCs within the block and also
provides facilities for obstetric care and specialist consultations.
FIRST REFERAL UNIT
 An existing facility (district hospital, sub-divisional hospital, CHC)
can be declared a fully operational first referral unit (FRU) only if
it is equipped to provide round-the-clock services for
emergency obstetric and newborn care, in addition to all
emergencies that any hospital is required to provide.
 It should be noted that there are three critical determinants of a
facility being declared as a FRU: (i) emergency obstetric care
including surgical interventions such as caesarean sections; (ii)
care for small and sick newborns; and (iii) blood storage facility
on a 24-h basis.
NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH MISSION
NRHM:-
 NRHM, launched in 2005, was a watershed for the health sector in
India.
 With its core focus to reduce maternal and child mortality, it aimed at
increased public expenditure on health care, decreased inequity,
decentralization and community participation in operationalization of
health-care facilities based on IPHS norms.
 Seeking to improve access of rural people, especially poor women
and children, to equitable, affordable, accountable and effective
primary health care, NRHM (2005-2012) aimed to provide effective
health care to the rural population throughout the country with
special focus on 18 states having weak public health indicators
and/or weak infrastructure.
 Within the mission there are high-focused and low-focused states and
districts based on the status of infant and maternal mortality rates,
and these states are provided additional support, both financially
and technically.
 Gradually it has emerged as a major financing and health sector
reform strategy to strengthen the state health systems.
