ProblEm statEmEnt
It must be remembered that in rural States there are well
defined villages and defined areas are being looked
after by a particular PHC and an anM. On the other hand,
in urban States/mega cities, lacs of population, especially
the vulnerable segments, stretch in continuity without
definition and documentation of areas of responsibility of
existing primary health care facilities.
The delineation for each center/each field functionary is
a must for:
1. Ensuring universal coverage of each and every corner
of the State.
2. Removing/minimizing the catchment area overlaps
between centers belonging to same/different
agencies.
3. Ensuring accountability of the health center/MO/
ANM/ASHA for the promotive and preventive care
to all residents in the catchment area.
4. Defining facility specific benchmarks/expected
outputs and thus facilitate meaningful evaluation.
5. Planning of resources – manpower/logistics for each
center as per the requirements and thus prevent
wastage.
6. Facilitywise needbased deployment of staff &
Facilitywise performance audit as the staff/expected
workload and actual achievements shall be available
objectively.
7. Building Functional Referral linkages with higher
centers.
8. Provide usable data regarding slums/J J Clusters/
resettlement colonies/village and the Health centers
to which they are attached thus providing areas for
targeted interventions for this vulnerable segment.
9. addressing the multiplicity of the health care
providers.
ProgrammE DEsCriPtion
State has mapped 160 lac population demographically
and geospatially to the existing health facilities using
the polling stations as the basic unit of distribution.
This information is available on the web based portal
giving the demographic/geographical description of the
population. The geospatial maps are also available.
Description of individual anM areas in terms of
population/geographical localization is shown above.
The mapping has been done for facilities belonging to the
government of nCT of Delhi and the three Municipal
Corporations of Delhi. The same information has also been
mapped on the geospatial map which can be accessed on
website.
