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

• During 11th five year plan, bed capacity of total 30 hospitals (20 district and 10
civil hospitals) would be enhanced.
• In many district hospitals, ICCU, Burn unit, NICCU, Neonatology unit and
trauma centre have been established with RKS funds and community
participation. These facilities are functioning for the want of manpower support .
During five year plan, it is proposed to support 20 district hospitals to establish
and to operatinalize theses facilities by providing medical and paramedical staff.
• Diagnostic facilities in some district hospitals such as high capacity/ digital X- ray
machines need to be replaced with old machines and Ultra sonography need to be
established for advance diagnostic facilities and to handle emergency obstetric
cases.
• Proper disposal of hospital waste is not being done in many hospitals,
Incinerators are proposed to be installed in bigger hospitals.
B. Rural Health Services :
Providing access to health care facilities to ru r a l p o p u l ation is still a challenge, still
primary health care facilities are not fully functional in rural areas. Non -availability o f
doctors and paramedical staff at PHCs and CHCs making the task more difficult. State
govt. has offered attractive packages to motivate them to work in rural areas. CHCs have
been identified as CEmONC and BEmONC facilities and some of the PHCs have also
been identified as BEmONC facilities. The JSY and Vijayaraje Beema Kalyan Yojna also
resulting in increased institutional deliveries. At some places, CHCs with existing
capacity of 30 beds are not sufficient enough to cater the health needs of the communit y.
Bed strength of some of the CHCs need to be enhanced to cope up with the increased
need for maternal care and increased burden of disease.
• In rural areas, health institutions are sanctioned as per population norms. As per
2001 population norms 60 new CHCs need to be established. During five year
plan 60 PHCs are proposed to be upgraded in to 30 bedded CHCs to fulfill the
population norms. 48 institutions are proposed to be upgraded as CHCs during
2007-08.
