INTRODUCTIONNational Rural Health Mission (NRHM) launched in April, 2005 envisages provision of
affordable, equitable and quality health care to the population of India, especially vulnerable groups. National Rural Health Mission has given the guiding principles and has also listed the deliverables and service guarantees required to be ensured by health care providers/institutions. However this needs to be translated to actual good quality service delivery at various levels of health care delivery system (from village to Tertiary health care institutions).
There has been increasing public concern over the quality of health care in recent years both because of increasing awareness amongst the population and mushrooming of health care institutions particularly in the private sector. The quality of health care can be improved by functional health facilities with skilled personnel providing effective and good quality of services.
Medical Colleges are the intellectual and academic capital of the State. The faculty members of medical colleges would be expected to provide the intellectual input on how to apply any program to their state/region, in the context of the needs of their state / region and also demonstrate how good quality health care services can be provided. They would have to therefore understand the centre’s program, have thorough knowledge about the health problems and available infrastructure for health services in their states such that they can adapt the programs for effective implementation through the existing infrastructure to meet the health needs of the population of the state.
Important role of medical college is pre-service teaching and training. The faculty members of medical colleges would have to use not only the textbooks but also ensure that their students both Under Graduates and Post Graduates do have the knowledge and the skills required for provision of good quality heath care services and implementing the program for the state’s needs. Many of the students are likely to work in the private sector in the current situation. This knowledge and skills would therefore help these future doctors to participate in public health programs even while working in private or other sectors.
Medical Colleges and their hospitals in addition to having highly academic faculty also have a large case load which is a major advantage for providing skill up gradation training and enabling the trainees not only to acquire the skills but also learn to diagnose and treat complications. Thus Medical Colleges have a major role to play in knowledge and skill up gradation during in-service training for various service providers. In this their roles may be:
Training of district and below district level trainers Training of MO of PHC/CHC (if necessary). Training for specialised skills (as Lap. Sterilisation, MTP, Minilap, NSV etc.)
‘Workshop on Quality Services under NRHM for Faculty of Medical Colleges of good performing States’ was conducted from 2nd to 5th Feb.2010 in NIHFW, Munirka, New Delhi.

WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS
Day 1: 2/2/2010
The workshop started with the self introduction by participants and workshop coordinators. The participants were asked to write down their expectations from the workshop. The expectations are listed in Annexure-IV.
Most of participants had the following expectations:1. How to incorporate quality services in the medical college2. Newer interventions under NRHM
Participant’s Perception about Quality Services under NRHMThe session was conducted by Prof. S. Menon, who asked the participants to explain their perception of quality. She explained that for everyone the perception may be different. The participant’s perceptions are given in Annexure-V.
The following issues were highlighted: Quality is quantifiable Perception depends on the interest of the participants. Benchmark standard should be set and once it is reached then a higher standard should be
set.
Highlights
Most of the participants felt that client’s satisfaction is the major parameter of quality. Only 4 participants felt that performance to standards is an important benchmark of
quality
Critical issues in quality of Health & F.W. servicesThis session was taken by Dr. Bindoo by the brainstorming method. All the participants were divided into three groups and were asked to identify critical issues in provision of:
Maternal Health services Child Health Services. Service environment favorable for Good Quality Services.Each group was asked to discuss amongst themselves and present the observations which were discussed amongst all the participants. The presentation (s) is included as Annexure-VI.
There were a few cross cutting issues like:Issues Strategies under NRHM
Accessibility, Affordability & Accreditation Architectural correctionBehaviour of service providers Behaviour change communication Continuity of services Citizens charterDelays and equity Differential strategy
7
Group Work Quality Services under NRHM:For group work the participants were divided into 4 groups by the facilitators. Each group consists of representatives from different states and specialties viz maternal health, child health, community medicine and from training centre. The presentations made by participants are given in Annexure-VIII.
Overview of NRHMDuring the session on Overview of NRHM Dr. U. Datta talked about the vision of NRHM. He enumerated the goals of NRHM which includes providing universal access to equitable, affordable and quality health care services, responsive to the needs of the people. He explained the expected outcomes of NRHM at the community level. He talked of how to improve the Public Health Delivery System. He explained how decentralization and convergence is being implemented in the country.
He explained about the architectural corrections and the funding under NRHM. He discussed about the new strategies under NRHM.
Highlights
Improving public health delivery system, convergence, decentralization and architectural corrections as per IPHS are some of the interventions under NRHM.
For improving public health delivery system capacity building of PRIs, PMSUs and health professionals is one of the steps.
Day II: 3/2/2010
Experience Sharing (Annexure-VII)Dr. Arun Humne
He shared the experience related to evaluation of mother NGOs and field NGOs under NRHM, funded by State Health Systems Resource Centre, Pune. It was suggested that this could be reproduced by others so that the medical college will be able to use their manpower for reaching out to the public within the system.
Dr. R.R. Shinde spoke about
Establishing Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) in the hospital involving clinical departments coordinated by PSM department.
IDSP is one of the flagship program of Government of India, promoting quality data management in disease surveillance. The focus is on ensuring uniformity, standardization, reliability, accuracy, consistency & diligency in disease data collection, compilation, analysis and public health applications.
8
The faculty of PSM and resident doctors conduct a preventive OPD in KEM Hospital daily. All new patients & patients on chronic management are first referred to preventive OPD. The preventive OPD undertakes screening, counseling, health education, treatment of uncomplicated cases.
The Medicine & Paediatrics OPD is on the same floor and hence, where essential, immediate escorted referral of cases is possible.
This has facilitated cooperation & active participation of clinical faculty in IDSP. At institutional level, PSM department has assertively introduced role of PSM faculty as “Doctors of Health” and role of clinical specialists as “Doctors of Disease”. In public health terms, clinicians are now referred as specialists of secondary & tertiary prevention.
Inter-sectoral Convergence:In this session Dr. Prema Ramachandran explained that there quantifiable determinants & ingredients of quality which include infrastructure/manpower, processes for diagnosis & treatment, safety & timeliness of interventions outcome and cost of care. She explained the pre-requisites of good quality of services.
She explained that convergence will result in provision of quality services by ensuring better coverage, content and timeliness. She further explained how synergy between AWW, ASHA & ANM can help to ensure better safe abortion services, better Antenatal care, increased institutional delivery and management of malnutrition. She talked of how the convergence between vertical health programmes and RCH can help to achieve integrated services. She described the Antenatal card developed by ICDS which was distributed to all the participants of the workshop. She explained how to standardize the weighing machine for accurate measurement of the change in weight and for estimation of BMI. She cautioned that most of the ‘weight for height cards’ are developed by the western world. She ended by informing the participants about the advantage of estimating BMI for cards identification of both under & over nutrition.
Highlights
Intra- sectoral convergences between different health sector programmes Inter-sectoral coordination between health, nutrition, education, water supply sanitation and other related sectors has synergistic effect and improves performance in all the sectors. It is essential that efforts are made to ensure that coordination occurs at all levels especially during implementation at or below district level
integrate the activities related to procurement, logistics of supply, training, IEC, HMIS under different vertical programmes;
Role of Medical College in Quality of Care:In the session the Director explained to look into the need of the citizens of the country and work for their benefit. He said that knowledge, analysis, planning etc. should be for the people’s benefit and not just of academic importance. He also said that some states like Bihar, UP, MP and West Bengal need to have more Medical Colleges and the medical colleges should realize their responsibilities towards the rural India.
9
He stated that Medical Colleges and the Medical College Hospitals given their vast and diverse case load and the experienced expert faculty should be the best skill up - gradation training centres. The Medical Colleges can ensure that their undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as participants in training courses understand the rationale, components as well as strategies of all the programs ,also ensure that they do have the knowledge and the skills required for implementing the program for the state’s needs.
The Medical College Hospitals should act as Apex Training Centres by practicing the program components in National Training Strategy for In-service Training under National Rural Health Mission and their routine service delivery, thereby, enabling the post graduate and under graduate students to practice & achieve all the skills required pre-service.
He added that there should be paradigm shift in curriculum and issues like Mainstreaming AYUSH, Telemedicine/ICT, Tobacco Control, Patients Rights in health, Standard treatment guidelines, ICD -10 Classification, Revitalizing Primary Health Care and Stress Management should be included.
Some of the deficient areas like Counseling skills, Quality issues, Elementary Nursing practices & Geriatric Care should be strengthened.
He concluded by giving an example how the first years may be posted in the wards, listen to conversation of patients and relatives to learn social behaviour/concerns.
Highlights
Medical Colleges should not be viewed in isolation The Medical Colleges can ensure that their undergraduate and postgraduate students as
well as participants in training courses understand the rationale, components as well as strategies of all the programs ,also ensure that they do have the knowledge and the skills required for implementing the program for the state’s needs.
Integrated/ multi-disciplinary teaching and enabling environment
Monitoring and Evaluation under NRHMDr. Rattan Chand talked about Monitoring and Evaluation. He described about DLHS and it is concurrent evaluation of NRHM through independent agencies like IIPS.
District wise indicators on CBR, CDR, IMR MMR for a group of districts
He informed that Indicators to be covered in Annual Health Surveys (AHS) finalized in meeting of the Steering Committee held on 9th September, 2009. A Technical Advisory Group (TAG) has been constituted under the chairmanship of Dr. N.S. Sastry, Ex-DG NSSO to finalize survey instruments. The Annual Health Survey is expected to be launched by March 2010 and results expected by early 2011. Regarding HMIS he stated that: Formats finalized in consultation with program divisions Separate facility level formats Information flow has changed from paper to electronic form
10
HMIS portal has been launched and is functional.He cautioned about the need to validate data received from different sources like HMIS, surveys etc. He said Expert Group needed to guide triangulation activities has been established and data triangulation work on MCH and FP is under progress.

Orientation to ICD-10This session was conducted by Dr. Ashok Kumar. He explained the need of International classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) and enumerated some of the initiatives taken in the country to promote the use of ICD-10. He informed that Central Bureau of Health Intelligence (CBHI) has prepared and released the Module & Workshop-Orientation Training on ICD-10 for distribution to the trainees as reference and self learning module. This module has been updated and reprinted in 2008. Certain initiatives taken by CHBI towards manpower development are: Request to Director General of (i) Armed Forces Medical Services, (ii) Railways Health
Services and (iii) ESI, for appropriately ensuring the use of the ICD-10 in their respective medical and health care institutions and develop the trained manpower.
In 2008, Based on the need, the orientation on International Classification of Functioning Disability & Health (ICF) in India was integrated with the orientation training on ICD-10 as devised by the experts during National Workshops, 18th November & o4 -05 th December, 2008 and updated to the “Orientation Training Course on FIC (ICD-10 &ICF)”, one week, separately, for Master Trainers and Non-Medical Functionaries.
CBHI has already institutionalized orientation training on Functionaries of IRDA and Health Insurance Companies in India-FIC (ICD-10 & ICF) through its various training centers in different regions of the country
Highlights
ICD-10 coding system be implemented throughout the country for comparison at both, national and international levels and the use of ICD-10 be concurrently monitored by hospital administration for timely corrective measures at various levels, including meeting the ICD-10 trained manpower needs
All the Government Allopathic Medical Colleges and Medical Council of India have been requested and being pursued to ensure appropriate teaching and skill on use of ICD-10 as part of the under- graduate and post- graduate degree curricula.
Day III: 4/2/2010
Experience Sharing
11
Dr. Dinesh Bhanderi shared his experience on “Evaluation of the government health care services provided to women in reproductive age and children under three years age in Anand district. The observations included that in small & remote villages, the distribution of ‘Mamta card’ is not satisfactory, visits by FHW & supervisory staff were also very less than desired and Mamta card was not used adequately for educating the women regarding nutrition, warning signs, self-care & newborn care. The recommendations included that IEC activities to create awareness regarding various government programmes and schemes need to be strengthened so as to maximize their utilization by the beneficiaries and Mamta card should be extensively used for education & counseling of pregnant women & mothers.
Quality Issues in Family Welfare Services under NRHMThe session was conducted by Dr. Kiran Ambwani who talked about the various dimensions of quality services and the steps taken to improve RCH services. She elaborated on quality assurance committee and quality circles. She informed how quality council of India is supporting GOI in adapting quality standards at different levels and conducting awareness seminars. She shared experiences of different state in improving quality. she summarized by reminding that quality requires setting and achieving standards of service availability to all and that GOI support is available for states to take initiatives.
Highlights
Dimensions of quality include perceptions of service provider, client (user) and the service environment
Focus on Quality is essential for achieving National Health Goals & ensuring sustainability and credibility of Public Health Systems;
Support of GOI available for States to take initiatives.
Integrated Service DeliveryThe session was conducted by Prof. K. Kalaivani who described the current practices of service provision with their disadvantages e.g. Immunisation and MCH services are provided on separate days. This implies that the women needs to come twice for seeking services i.e. for immunisation, contraception etc., which has direct implications on their time lost for work and wages. She informed that the proposed strategy in NRHM to ensure provision of services at periphery in all villages which is the village health and nutrition day. She enumerated the services to be provided at the AWC during the VHND.
Highlights
The work schedule is not displayed in the sub-centre or PHCs or in the community, people remain unaware of the services being provided and also the availability MPHW (M&F) in the village on a particular day.
There is lack of clarity in job responsibility of MPHW(M&F), which clearly leads to non performance of work as well as low quality of services provided.
12
Infection Control & Biomedical Waste ManagementThe session was conducted by Mrs. Renuka Patnaik who informed that infection prevention means prevention of occurrence of infection and minimization of risk of transmitted infection while providing services for contraception, childbirth, newborn care, post natal care, etc. She pointed out that all objects coming in contact with patients should be considered potentially contaminated. She explained the difference between disinfection, decontamination, cleaning and asepsis. She gave examples from her monitoring visits.
Highlights
Minimization of risks of transmitting infection while providing services for contraception, childbirth, newborn care, post-natal care, immunization, post-abortion care and management of RTIs/STIs.
To address these issues, an Infection Management and Environment Plan (IMEP) has been formulated by the MOH&FW, GOI with the aid of DFID India
Operational Guidelines designed for easy utilization by healthcare workers at CHCs, FRUs, PHCs and SCs with simple instructions and pictorial presentation of infection control and waste management procedures
Accreditation of Hospitals for Quality ServicesProf. J.K. Das informed that Accreditation is now a world trend in health care and that accreditation benefits are patients, community and hospital as well as employees. Internationally the best-known focused accreditation programmes are WHO/UNICEF’s Baby Friendly and Mother Friendly Hospital initiatives. Accreditation or other EQA programmes are most likely to successfully improve quality if they are voluntary and exist in conjunction with enforced governmental licensure that assures minimum standards.
The process of accreditation is includes initial application including self assessment as per the laid down standards, screening of the application followed by assessment survey and accreditation committee recommendations.
Highlights
Accreditation process encourages those that are doing the best work, and stimulates those of inferior standards to do better.
The most effective means of providing long-term support for an accreditation / EQA programme is indirect, by establishing financial incentives for organizations to participate.
Day IV: 5/2/2010
Experience Sharing1. Dr. Gautam Mukhapadhyay talked about the role of injection magsulf in the treatment of
ecclampsia. He said that gradual persuasion and use of low dose magsulf in the periphery has resulted in decreasing the morbidity of ecclampsia.

2. Dr. Seema Ananjaya shared her experience regarding provision of integrated teaching in the under graduate in the second year MBBS students. She explained how integration is being done between the departments of PSM, paediatrics, obstetric. She said that the study will be completed in April 2010 in order to evaluate the outcome of integrated teaching in the community. The topics covered include breastfeeding, PEM and malnutrition.
3. Dr. A.P. Kulkarni spoke about his experience in finalization of the PIP for Maharashtra. He informed the group during his career at the Medical College there were lot of issues about which he was not aware. After joining SHRC, Pune he has realized the spectrum of issues which need to be addressed by Medical College faculty as well.
The participants gave suggestions for involvement of medical college faculty in NRHM (Annexure-IX)
Dr. Mirambika, From NIHFW
She demonstrated the portal for National Health Information Collaboration (NHIC) to the participants. The participants felt that there should be strict rules for including articles at the NHIC. Some of the participants visited the computer centre of the institute for practicing the use of this portal.
Presentation on Group Work
All the four groups presented their group work to Prof. Menon. All the group’s presentations were appreciated. However, the following issues were raised:
Presentation on disease control addressed the issues of quality services in the tertiary centres predominantly.
The checklist in the village health and nutrition day did not include any experience of the group.
Concluding Session The valedictory session was chaired by Dr. M. Bhattacharya, Dean of Studies who asked the participants to explain what were the additions in their knowledge following the workshop. Dr. Sushma Malik (Pead) informed that there were so many interventions under NRHM about which she was not aware and she was happy to learn about them.

Experience Sharing
1. DR. ARUN HUMNEProfessor & Head, Community Medicine, Govt. Medical College, Nagpur-440003, Maharashtra
The experience sharing is related to evaluation of mother NGOs and field NGOs under NRHM, funded by State Health Systems Resource Centre, Pune.
Expected investigators for this evaluation were medical social workers/interns. We utilized services of post graduate students of community medicine, who did qualitative analysis alongwith structured evaluation as per predesigned proforma.
The last unit to be evaluated by us was the village of FNGO, where we arranged meeting of project coordinators of MNGO and FNGOs, ANM, AWW and PRI office bearers and local leaders.
The scenario prior to this meeting was that ‘There was lack of co-ordination between these agents of health care delivery system.
With this joint meeting the whole village came to know all details of MNGO & FNGO scheme, their job responsibilities. All the stake holders at periphery accepted that there would be profound effect, of course beneficial to achieve the objectives of the MGNO scheme.
The baseline data about the beneficiaries is with us and our team of investigators is prepared to perform the evaluation after 6 months, in those villages without asking for additional funds from the sponsors. The PGs have donated the remuneration they received for the present evaluation, so the same could be used for transportation during next voluntary evaluation planned after six months.
This has been done for 3 districts. If this model of joint venture and coordinated efforts of health personnel, FNGOs & PRIs works to improve the quality of health care, the same can be replicated at other places.
Post graduates are thinking of using the money saved (remuneration after expenditure on voluntary evaluation) for improvising the PG seminar rooms.

Project title : Establishing Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme in the hospital involving clinical departments coordinated by PSM department.
Task : Mainstreaming IDSP in the hospital
28
Introduction: IDSP is one of the flagship programme of Government of India, promoting quality data management in disease surveillance. The focus is ensuring uniformity, standardization, reliability, accuracy, consistency & diligency in disease data collection, compilation, analysis and public health applications.
Clinical specialists are rarely proactive about preparing periodic morbidity / mortality reports and generally dissociate themselves from this activity citing their main focus on technical case management. Further, PSM department was viewed as non-clinical department and the clinical specialist were inclined to place the entire responsibility on PSM Department and evade ownership of the programme. The existing situation in the hospital indicated that the “Institutional” nature of “IDSP” would be grossly overlooked and then, there was a possibility of the programme being reduced to an “activity” of a department (PSM).Hence, a strategic plan of action was necessary to meet this challenge effectively. This strategic plan is being presented as “Good Practice” strategy.
Situation Prior to Establishment of IDSP
1. Conventional case papers, indoor papers, report formats2. No emphasis on quality of generating case records3. No supervision or cross-check of case record contents4. Confirmed diagnosis often not mentioned clearly on indoor case papers.5. Case-history, treatment, procedures, recorded inadequately.6. Case definition and treatment protocols now followed uniformly in all medical units.7. No accountability of record maintenance.8. Medical Records Department Staff not trained regarding accuracy in recording patient data
(very often address written inadequately)9. Clinicians / resident doctors were very reluctant & termed the progress as “clerical job”10. The staff nurses, matron, residents viewed it as additional burden.11. Laboratory staff expressed displeasure of writing “more” on paper.12. No mandate for submission of records or reports on a daily basis.13. Medical Supdt / AMO on call not involved in disease report preparation.14. No coordinating committee for disease surveillance reporting.15. Collaboration with public health department for follow-up surveillance action not
formalized.16. Resident Medical Officers not sensitized regarding IDSP.
In view of the above circumstances, the Strategic Approach adopted as follows:-
1. Promote the program as “Institutional” rather than PSM Department programme pro-actively.
2. Team approach essential, so a coordination committee formed involving PSM, Medicine, Paediatrics, Microbiology & Medical Records Department with Principal as Chairperson & PSM as member secretary.
3. The action plan for coordination was outlined.4. The “curative”, “preventive” components of surveillance were identified & departmental
responsibilities were outlined, identified & departmental responsibilities were outlined and linkage with public health department was outlined.
5. The Dean & Director was updated & emphasized about the “Institutional mandate” & meeting of concerned department convened in presence of Dean.
29
6. The micro plan was explained and an IDSP unit was located in hospital near the casualty area. It was proposed that this IDSP unit will be converted into Disaster Management Control room, during disasters.
7. The registration counter & emergency services were identified & geared for involvement in IDSP.
8. Meeting of faculty staff of concerned department held.9. The above meeting lead to preparation of a case-definition & treatment protocol manual for
clinicians.10. All RMOs were oriented in IDSP and their role in reporting. The need for clearly writing
the confirmed diagnosis on indoor paper was stressed.11. The Medical Records department staff was sensitized on the need for accuracy in recording
data.12. Additional equipment for rapid blood investigations was installed.13. Separate proformas for compiled reporting were devised to facilitate easy record of IDSP
cases in the words (to used by clinical residents) and also for coordinating weekly & monthly compilation of reports (to be used by PSM Department)
14. Meeting convened with Executive Health Officer, public health department, to outline responsibilities of Insecticidal officer, MOH I/c of wards, to work with PSM Department for surveillance actions.
Core function of IDSP in the hospital:-
1. Identify – confirmed disease cases and document the same (clinicians)2. Epidemiological investigations of cases & deaths and prepare spot map off cases (PSM
Department)3. Implement surveillance actions in the community from where the cases have been located in
the spot map along with public health department.4. Reporting on daily basis; timely, accurate, diligent.
Strategic Interventions for Implementation
1. A stamp of enlisted IDSP cases was prepared and all emergency case papers were stamped with it.
2. If a patient reports to emergency services the RMO on duty examines & decides whether the case is an IDSP case or not based on his clinical acumen. It is an IDSP case, he / she will mark on the IDSP stamp.
3. The patient then goes to registration counter. If the clerk, finds that case-paper is ticked as “IDSP” case, he records the case in a separate IDSP register and takes due care to write details of address of the patient. The patient then gets admitted in the indoor ward; clinical unit and his record is entered in ward register by the staff nurse.
4. The RMOs on duty in wards receive all the emergency lab reports of this patient after about 2-3 hours. He is then able to make a confirmed diagnosis. If not, he reports as “probable” diagnosis.
5. The compiled report of all such cases is sent in the proforma devised for clinical wards to the control unit (IDSP). The interns posted assists in the same.
6. The PSM department RMO, visits registration counter to note all IDSP cases of the day and also clarifies queries regarding data, with the RMO in the ward on phone.
30
7. A team of PSM resident, AMO on call, Lecturer on call meet in the evening at 8 p.m. and again at 6 a.m. next day to update the compiled report of IDSP cases.
8. The copy of complied report is sent to Deans residence for his information and media management in the morning at 7.30 a.m.
9. The Dean sends the approved compiled report in his office at 8.30 a.m.10. This report is collected by the control unit through the AMO posted in Deans office11. The compiled report is finalized as reporting of “probable’ and “confirmed” cases and faxed
to IDSP Head Quarters for Mumbai City (Kasturba Hospital) which in turn faxes a combined report of Mumbai city to State IDSP unit.
Preventive component
1. The cases are recorded on spot map of Mumbai from their address.2. A mobile van reports to the given address for initiating surveillance actions. (PSM residents
intern, surveillance workers from public health department).3. Deaths of IDSP cases are investigated epidemiologically by PSM residents, to ascertain
courses contributing to death.
USP of IDSP strategy
The faculty of PSM and residents conduct a preventive OPD in KEM Hospital daily. All new patients & patients on chronic management are first referred to preventive OPD. The preventive OPD undertakes screening, counseling, health education, treatment of uncomplicated cases. The Medicine & Paediatrics OPD is on the same floor and hence, where essential, immediate escorted referral of cases is possible.
This has facilitated cooperation & active participation of clinical faculty in IDSP. At institutional level, PSM department has assertively introduced role of PSM faculty as “Doctors of Health” and role of clinical specialists as “Doctors of Disease”. In public health terms, clinicians are now referred as specialists of secondary & tertiary prevention.
Collateral benefits
1. PSM department involved by clinical departments in integrated teaching.2. AMOs from clinical departments consult PSM faculty to validate research designs of their
dissertation.3. Psychiatry department / OBGY department / Paediatric / Medicine department are proactive
in participating in community health camps in rural & urban areas.4. AMOs from clinical department are deputed to urban health centres from community
orientation.5. Students from foreign universities seeking “observership” training in clinical departments
are essentially sent to PSM department for orientation of community based health program.6. PSM faculty is represented in key positions on the committees viz AEFI, Epidemic control
task force of Public health department and committees at the institution viz. patient education cell, ethics department, staff society, Research Society, Sexual harassment, redressal committee, Academic Committee and various enquiry committee.
7. Post of contractual data entry operator sanctioned and provision for expenses made for IDSP unit. Further, the location for IDSP unit / control unit ensured in developmental plan of hospital.
31
8. Team from NICD visited IDSP unit in 2008, reviewed and endorsed IDSP strategy in hospital PSM department was included for conducting TOTs in IDSP and the model was discussed at NICD.

Some observations made during MICS• In small & remote villages, the distribution of ‘Mamta card’ is not satisfactory. • Nearly half of mothers and children are not given the card even if they attend the sessions. • Inadequate supply of these cards was one of the reasons for not issuing them to the
beneficiaries. • Visits by FHW & supervisory staff were also very less than desired. • Documentation of the activities performed during Mamta Diwas in Mamta card was found
to be poor, even when they were performed e.g. measurement of Blood Pressure and Vitamin A supplementation.
• A wide gap regarding utilization of health services was found across the different socio- economic strata of the villages.
• Mamta card was not used adequately for educating the women regarding nutrition, warning signs, self-care & newborn care.
Recommendations• IEC activities to create awareness regarding various government programmes and schemes
need to be strengthened so as to maximize their utilization by the beneficiaries.• People should be made aware of the importance of BPL card & its benefit. This is
particularly essential in remote and small villages where BPL families are in higher proportion.
• Quality of antenatal and postnatal care should be monitored and supervised by the medical officers.
• Antenatal care sessions should be made more interactive. Mamta card should be extensively used for education & counseling of pregnant women &
mothers.• Supervisory staff should ensure that at least one postpartum visit is made with in 24 hours
after birth of the baby by the health worker• Presentation of completely filled Mamta/immunization card of the child may be made
compulsory at the time of school admission so as to ensure 100% vaccine coverage. • Parents of the children will also force the health workers to enter all the given vaccines and
examination findings like weight and feeding advice in the card.
It takes whole village to raise a child.African proverb
