XI Five Year Plan 2007-2012 - Public Health & Family Welfare ...

33. District Mental Health Programme
The prevalence of mental disorder is one of the major Mental Health Problem of the
state as we know more than 2% of the population of the state suffers from serious
mental disorder and another 15-20% of the population suffers from minor mental
disorders. Drug addiction is another major mental health problem, which requires
early intervention and treatment. There is no proper rehabilitation facility in the state
of Madhya Pradesh for mentally ill patients including mentally retarded ones. Each
district of Madhya Pradesh must have mental health unit, which must be headed by a
psychiatrist. Unit should have one psychiatrist, one psychologist, one psychiatric
social worker and 10 beds for admission. District Hospitals should have needed
infrastructure and staff as per norms.
34. Convergence with MPSACS
Keeping in view the fact that presently National Aids Control Organization
does not have sub-district institutional presence, it is proposed to institute appropriate
strategies for bringing about integration between RCH and AIDS Control Programme
at sub-district levels.
35. Strengthening Referral Services and Tertiary Care Units
The tertiary care health institutions plan an important role in providing critical health
care to women and children. The primary and secondary health institutions refer
serious and complicated cases for further management. The current system of
referral needs improvement and strengthening at the tertiary care level. To fulfill this
objective it is proposed that all the 5 medical colleges will be strengthened
appropriately during year 2 and year 5 of the programme.
36. NRHM Management
NRHM guidelines provide for 6% of the total budget to be utilized for programme
management costs. It is proposed that the State would utilize these funds for creating
and supporting appropriate management structures at State, district and block levels.
It is also proposed that the management costs would also be used for defraying the
costs towards recently created divisional level offices of Joint Directors apart from
strengthening the offices of CMHOs and BMOs.
