About Us
Government of India has launched Ayushman Bharat Scheme to address critical issue of access to health care. Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC) is essential to avert disease and promote well-being, ensure continuity of care and enable gate-keeping so as to reduce the burden on secondary and tertiary level facilities, thus saving costs to system and the individual.
Idea of Ayushman Arogya Mandir:
India has adopted a three tiered system of health care delivery and Sub Centre is the
peripheral
outpost that caters to a population of 5000 in plane areas and 3000 populations in tribal,
hilly
and desert areas. Currently, the package of services that a sub-centre provides largely
relates to
outreach RCH care. Owing to the changes in disease profile, with non-communicable diseases
and communicable diseases contributing a major part of the disease burden there is a
conscious
shift in focus from select primary care to comprehensive primary care beyond RCH services
&
select communicable diseases and inclusive of Preventive and Promotive care. For provision
of
comprehensive primary health care, the strategy is to re-define the role of the sub-centre
and its
staffing pattern and strengthen the Sub Centres into Health and Wellness Centres (HWC).
