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

2. Review of progress of X Plan (2002-2007)
During X plan the main focus was to make the sanctioned institutions functional. It was
observed that many SHCs and PHCs sanctioned during IX plan could not be made
functional for various reasons such as non availability of trained man power and lack of
infrastructure. During X plan efforts were made to operationalize the existing health
institutions. Construction of SHC and PHC buildings were given priority. The Community
Health Centres are the most important unit for rendering clinical and first level of referral
services. State government had passed a resolution that at least one 30 bedded
hospital would be made available in each of the development blocks. During X plan 44
new CHCs were established, now in each of the development block at least one 30
bedded hospital has been assured. Since availability of trained staff and doctors is still a
challenge before to make the PHCs functional.
State government has started contractual appointment of doctors and paramedical staff.
Because of this reason no new PHC was sanctioned during entire X plan period except
at one place. Since GoI did not agree to sanction any new SHC during X plan period,
therefore no new SHC was sanctioned during the entire X plan period.
