A new group of healthcare professionals who are not doctors are called community health officers CHOs . As a part of Comprehensive Primary Health Care, CHOs will be vital in providing an increased range of essential services. They are expected to direct the primary care staff at the Sub Centre, Health and Wellness Center, offer ambulatory care and clinical management to the neighborhood, and act as a crucial coordination link to guarantee the continuum of car.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Introduction
All health care programmes in a district are placed under a unified control. It is a link between the State/
regional structure on one side and the peripheral level structures such as PHC/
sub-centre on the other side. The district officer with the overall control is designated as the Chief
Medical and Health Officer (CM & HO) or as the District Medical and Health Officer (DM
& HO). These officers are popularly known as DMOs or CMOs, and are overall in-charge of the health
and family welfare programmes in the district. These DMOs/CMOs are assisted by Dy. CMOs and
programme officers.(1)
In the recent past, states have reorganized their health services structures in order to bring all
healthcare programmes in a district under unified control. The district level structure of health services is
a middle level management organization and it is a link between the State as well as regional structure on
one side and the peripheral level structures such as PHC as well as sub-centre on the other side. It receives
information from the State level and transmits the same to the periphery by suitable modifications to meet
the local needs. In doing so, it adopts the functions of a manager and brings out various issues of general,
organizational and administrative types in relation to the management of health services(2)

popularly known as DMOs or CMOs, and are overall in-charge of the health and family welfare
programmes in the district. They are responsible for implementing the programmes according to policies
laid down and finalized at higher levels, i.e. State and Centre. These DMOs/CMOs are assisted by Dy.
CMOs/AHDO and programme officers. The number of such officers, their specialization, and status in
the cadre of State Civil Medical Services differ from the State to State. Due to this, the span of control
and hierarchy of reporting of these programme officers vary from state to state. (2)
District Level: The principal unit of administration in India is the district under a Collector. Most
districts in India are divided into two or more sub-divisions, each in charge of an Assistant
Collector. Each division is again divided into tehsils (talukas), in charge of a Tahsildar. A tahsil
usually comprises between 200 to 600 villages. The rural areas of the district have been organized
into Blocks, known as Community development blocks, the area of which may or may not

approximately 100 villages and about 80,000 to 1,20,000 population, in charge of a Block
Development Officer. Finally there are the village panchayats, which are institutions of rural local
self-government (2)
