Editor's Notes

  1. As Advisor HRH at New Delhi, I am delighted that the IPH has taken the initiative towards HRH reforms -
  2. Most of the committees headed by the then DGHS or other technical heads - What were Achieved till NOW - Managers were too preoccupied with the heavy priorities and too little time for long term prospectives - When we are busy, we don’t even remember our food - HRH met the same fate all these years
  3. Health care often seen as doctor in the hospital and then the nurse for nursing care, pharmacist to give drugs, Technician for diagnostics, Attender for dresssing / cleaning the wounds ………. - How about the prevention - crucial Public Health
  4. The preventive health or the Public Health HRH are less visible except for the high intensity campaigns such as Polio. Prioritisation of tertiary / secondary care is more often at the cost of preventive / primary health care.
  5. The 13 teams of CRM explicitly expressed the HRH as major constraint in 12 out of 13 States visited. First fore most being critical shortfalls in HRH -- HRH Availability, Competence &amp; Productivity
  6. Ironically, India producing largest number of skilled workers, has very low HRH. China has more doctors and Lab. workers; Cuba almost 10 times more doctors The scenario is no different for nurses, Lab. Workers etc. This is in spite of our awareness from Pre-independence era – Govt. of India committees on HRH - Bhore (1946), Chadha (1963), Kartar (1973), Srivastava (1975) as well as NHPs, NPP emphasised HRH issues. Lack of HRH DATA IS THE issue even at the State level. HRH equity, quality &amp; Accountability can only be ensured based on the demographic &amp; epidemiological data, health status of the population and most importantly the health facilities provided ……..
  7. NRHM - Enhanced availability of HRH was started with 2nd ANM - extended to MOs, Specialists, Lab Technicians …… Contractual MOs 6906, AYUSH Drs 5321, Specialists 2266, Nurses 22789, ANMs 39633, Paramedics 5428 &amp; ASHAs 6.96 lakhs: States filling vacant posts: Incentives - Difficult area / Rural service a preference for PG Availability of Untied Funds improved HR morale &amp; performance
  8. States with Good Infrastructure &amp; Higher HRHDeliver Better Health Care. Five year plans ensured progress. Vision of ID Dev. - I &amp; II plan achieved during 80s and stagnating since then - Is it lack of wisdom to implement or finances or realisation of non-availability of HRH.
  9. This is just to reconfirm that with NRHM initiatives of untied funds etc, eased away the physical infrastructure bottlenecks - and the time has come for greater thrust on the other critical component - HRH - for health care outcomes - the higher the output of HRH the better Immunisation levels and lesser IMR.
  10. Non- availability of adequate HRH is the constraint in High Focus States - WHO recommends HRH of 25 - In India variance in States is too wide - 10 in Bihar to 38 in Kerala
  11. With in the States, even good performance States, there are pockets of districts / Blocks even for Immunisation of Children.The good news is that some of the districts in Bihar, UP, Rajasthan etc are performing better than some of the districts in Kerala or Tamilnadu
  12. As per details of DLHS -3 data available for the 14 States - over 85 % of Women who availed the Govt. facilities stated that the Staff were physically available at the facilities (Bihar very marginally less at 79%) thus clearly indicating positivity of HR Accountability. However, the perception for Quality ranged widely with low of 35 % to higher levels of over 60% in Pondy, Goa, Kerala Orissa
  13. Rural area incentive ranges from Rs. 3000 to 5000 for MOsThe incentive ranges by Rs.5000 to 10,000 for MO &amp; Specialists pm Incentive for ANM is Rs.1000 pm and GNM is Rs. 2000 pmJharkhand : support for insurance coverage of the ANM, Staff Nurses, other support staffs and Doctors posted in the identified Naxalite areas.Jharkhand : Free daily transportation to remote area in Naxalite affected areas Maharashtra:MOs &amp; Specialist incentive - Rs. 1000/- in tribal area and Rs. 1500/- in extremism affected areasANM Package – Rs. 6000/ month for rural area, Rs. 7000/month for tribal area &amp; Rs. 7600 /month for extremism areasStaff nurses &amp; LHV – Rs. 8000/ month for rural area, Rs. 9000/month for tribal area &amp; Rs. 9500 /month for extremism area Madhya Pradesh10,000/pm to regular and contractual specialists ( O&amp;G, Paed), 5,000/pm to MO( regular and contractual) staying at the Facility Incentive of 1 month salary for field staff posted at underserved districts in Nagaland
  14. Quality of care very critical and it can be only through adequate training – Students in their final months of training were interviewed and ……
  15. DLHS -2 (2002-04) DLHS -3 (2007-08)
  16. Our recent visit to Drass &amp; Kargil areas of Kashmir as part of the Common Review Missions was an eye-opener as the only request from the president of a remote village (population of 400 at Zozila Pass (near Amarnath) was to station an ANM during the snow fall isolation period of five months, the clear perception even from the citizens in the remotest Indian villages.
  17. Full complement in remote area of Kashmir - ANM + 2nd ANM
