Health and Family Welfare and AYUSH 733.1.55 NUHM would cover all cities with a populationof more than 100000. It would cover slum dwellers;other marginalized urban dwellers like rickshawpullers, street vendors, railway and bus station coolies,homeless people, street children, construction siteworkers, who may be in slums or on sites.3.1.56 The existing Urban Health Posts and UrbanFamily Welfare Centres would continue underNUHM. They will be marked on a map and classifiedas the Urban Health Centres on the basis of theircurrent population coverage. All the existing humanresources will then be suitably reorganized and rationalized.These centres will also be considered forupgradation.3.1.57 Intersectoral coordination mechanism andconvergence will be planned between the JawaharlalNehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)and the NUHM.Strengthening Existing Health System3.1.58 There is need to shift to decentralization offunctions to hospital units/health centres and localbodies. The States need to move away from the narrowfocus on the implementation of budgeted programmesand vertical schemes. They need to develop systemsthat comprehensively address the health needs of allcitizens. Thus, in order to improve the health careservices in the country, the <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> willinsist on Integrated District Health <strong>Plan</strong>s and BlockSpecific Health <strong>Plan</strong>s. It will mandate involvement ofall health related sectors and emphasize partnershipwith PRIs, local bodies, communities, NGOs, Voluntaryand Civil Society Organizations.PRIMARY HEALTH CARE3.1.59 During the <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, majorfocus will be on NRHM initiatives. Efforts will be madefor restructuring and reorganizing all health facilitiesbelow district level into the Three Tier Rural PrimaryHealth Care System. These will serve the populationsin a well-defined area and have referral linkages witheach other. Population-centric norms, which continueto drive the provisioning of health infrastructure, willbe modified. These will be replaced with flexible normscomprising habitation-based needs, community-basedneeds, and disease pattern-based needs. Steps will alsobe taken to reorganize Urban Primary Health CareInstitutions and make them responsible for the healthcare of people living in a defined geographic area,particularly slum dwellers.3.1.60 The Approach Paper on <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>stated accessibility as a major issue, especially in ruralareas, where habitations are scattered and women andchildren continue to die en route to hospital. Policyinterventions, therefore, have to be evidence based andresponsive to area specific differences as shown inAssam (Box 3.1.5). Concerted action will be takensuch as enabling pregnant women to have skilledattendance at birth and receive nutritional supplements.PHCs and CHCs will be connected by allweather roads so that they can be reached quicklyin emergencies (accessibility to hospital would bemeasured in travel time, not just distance from nearestPHC). Home-based neonatal care will be provided,including emergency life saving measures. Achievementof health objectives will, therefore, involve muchmore than curative or even preventive health care, anintegrated approach will be adopted.3.1.61 The <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> will ensure availabilityof essential drugs and supplies, vaccines, medicalequipment, along with the basic infrastructure likeelectricity, water supply, toilets, telecommunications,and computers for maintaining records. All Stateswill be encouraged to implement the Tamil Nadumodel in which close to 58% of the health centresare functioning round the clock. Success models ofvarious States such as higher salary to health workersposted in tribal regions of Himachal Pradesh andKBK districts of Orissa can be considered and replicated.3.1.62 Tribal population in India is considered tobe the most socio-economically disadvantaged group.The National Population Policy (2000) has made specialmention of tribal areas in terms of improvingbasic health and Reproductive and Child Health(RCH) services. In order to ensure adequate access tohealth care services for the tribal population, apartfrom dispensaries and mobile health clinics, 20284SCs, 3230 PHCs, and 750 CHCs have been established.
74 <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>Box 3.1.5Akha—Ship of HopeOn the saporis or river islands of Assam that are inundated with floods every time the mighty Brahmaputra unleashes itsfury, life is a constant struggle against disease and deprivation. Some 30 lakh people live in 2300 remote, floating villages onthe Brahmaputra in Upper Assam. Here, there are no functional anganwadis, no health centres, no schools, no power, noteven drinking water. Till recently, immunization, Antenatal Care (ANC), disease management, and treatment were all unheardof. Then in 2005 the Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research intervened. They partnered with NRHM,UNICEF, and the government of Assam, to start Akha (meaning hope in Assamese)—a 22-metre long, four-metre wide shipthat carries hope and health care to 10000 forgotten people in Tinsukhia, Dhemaji, and Dibrugarh districts of Upper Assam.The 120 hp powered Akha has an Out Patient Department (OPD) room, cabins for medical staff and ship crew, medicinestorage space, a kitchen, two toilet cum bathrooms, and a general store. A generator set and 200 litre water reservoir are alsoinstalled to ensure that the medical team that travels to the saporis has adequate power and water supply.The idea behind Akha is simple—use the river to tackle the problems and challenges created by it. Doctors and ANMswho are unwilling and unable to survive on these remote islands, live on this ship stocked with medicine and other suppliesand hold health camps on the saporis. They immunize, treat, provide medicines, and advise people on preventive measures.They even take critically ill patients to the nearest health centre in Dibrugarh.In less than two years, Akha has provided succour to many. If we can upscale this innovative intervention under NRHM,health care will no longer be a distant reality for the people living on this highly volatile river. It can be upscaled to include ahospital ship with diagnostic facilities, in patient ward and operation theatre. Then health care would become truly inclusive.Most of the centrally sponsored disease controlprogrammes have a focus on the tribal areas. In spiteof all this, tribal communities have poor access tohealth services and there is also underutilization ofhealth services owing to social, cultural, and economicfactors. Some of the problems include difficult terrain,locational disadvantage of health facilities, unsuitabletimings of health facilities, lack of Information,Education, and Communication (IEC) activities, lackof transport, etc.3.1.63 Challenges such as demand side constraints,human resource development issues, and the providers’attitude are particularly acute in tribal areas. Duringthe <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, therefore, renewedefforts will be made to provide need-based qualityintegrated health and family welfare services, improvementof service coverage, promotion of communityparticipation, encouragement of tribal system ofmedicine under AYUSH and replication of successfulefforts (See Box 3.1.6).3.1.64 The challenge of increasing urbanization withgrowth of slums and low-income families in cities hasmade access to health care for the urban poor a priorityof the <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. Therefore, the thrustduring the <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> will be to locate theservices in or around urban slums, Minorities, andSC bastis and SC concentration areas having 20%or more SC/ST population. With a view to improvinghealth status of people in urban slums, the <strong>Eleventh</strong><strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> will provide support to the ComprehensiveProject Implementation <strong>Plan</strong> (PIP) for vulnerablegroups, which covers population in urbanslums and other vulnerable groups in cities andtowns with a population up to one lakh. The <strong>Plan</strong>will develop mechanism to address this particularissue. This will be in addition to the NUHM describedabove.3.1.65 In order to meet the objectives of reducingvarious types of inequities and imbalances, interregionaland rural–urban, the <strong>Eleventh</strong> <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>will increase the sectoral outlay in the primary healthsector. While recognizing the role of primary heathsector, the National Health Policy (2002) sets out anincreased allocation of 55% of the total public healthoutlay for primary care; the secondary and tertiaryhealth sectors being targeted for 35% and 10% respectively.The Policy also states that the increased aggregateoutlays for primary health care should be utilizedfor strengthening existing facilities and openingadditional public health service outlets, consistent withthe norms.
