Resource Description:
An Essential Package of Health Services (EPHS) can be defined as the package of services that the government is providing or is aspiring to provide to its citizens in an equitable manner. Essential packages are often expected to achieve multiple goals: improved efficiency, equity, political empowerment, accountability, and altogether more effective care. There is no universal essential package of health services that applies to every country in the world.
This country snapshot is one in a series of 24 snapshots as part of an activity looking at the Governance Dimensions of Essential Packages of Health Services in the Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Death priority countries. The snapshot explores several important dimensions of the EPHS in the country, such as how government policies contribute to the service coverage, population coverage, and financial coverage of the package. Each country snapshot includes annexes that contain further information about the EPHS.
The government of Bangladesh first defined an “Essential Service Package” in 1998, then updated it in 2003 and renamed it the “Essential Service Delivery” Package. This package is defined at a high level, and includes: child health care, safe motherhood, family planning, menstrual regulation, post-abortion care, and management of sexually transmitted infections; communicable diseases (including tuberculosis, malaria, others); emerging noncommunicable diseases (diabetes, mental health conditions, cardiovascular diseases); limited curative care and behavior change communication; and nutrition.
- India has experienced rapid population growth and is now the second most populous country in the world with over 1.3 billion people.
- India implemented various population policies and programs over time to try to control its population growth rate, starting with voluntary family planning programs and eventually introducing some coercive policies during the Emergency period from 1975-1977.
- Population policies in India have aimed to reduce fertility rates and encourage family planning through various means like education programs, expanding access to contraceptives, manipulating incentives, and at times coercive policies like compulsory sterilization, though coercion is no longer used after the Emergency period.

Schools play a critical role in supporting student health and wellness. They can provide learning opportunities to reinforce healthy behaviors through wellness policies, practices, and effective health education curricula. The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model promotes positive health behaviors and lessens negative ones by accounting for individual, family, school, and community influences on student health and learning. Schools can assess their programs using CDC tools to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
The National Health Policy 2017 sets ambitious targets for reducing infant and maternal mortality rates, and eliminating diseases. However, many of these targets are the same as those set in 2002 which were not achieved. The 2017 policy has now pushed the deadlines to 2019 or later. It aims to achieve universal health coverage through increasing access, quality and lowering costs. A key focus is preventive healthcare and increasing public health spending to 2.5% of GDP. Fact-checking found the 2017 policy recycled many 2002 targets that were already missed.
The document summarizes key findings from the District Level Household and Facility Survey (DLHS-3) conducted in India in 2007-2008. Some key points:
1) DLHS-3 was the third in a series of surveys aimed at providing district-level data on reproductive and child health indicators. It covered over 7 lakh households across India.
2) The survey found that institutional deliveries increased to 47% nationally from 41% in the previous survey, though home deliveries remained the majority. Antenatal care coverage also increased but remained below targets.
3) The document provides comparisons of indicators between rural and urban areas as well as between India overall and the state of Haryana
India has had mixed success in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Infant and under-five mortality have sharply declined putting India on track to meet those targets. However, hunger remains a major challenge. Maternal mortality also remains high despite increased access to healthcare. While programs have helped reduce malaria and tuberculosis, childhood immunization rates remain low. Overall progress has been slowed by high dropout rates in primary education and low female participation in the economy and government. With 168 days remaining, India must learn from past challenges to make progress on the remaining unmet goals.
The document summarizes India's POSHAN Abhiyaan nutrition program. It outlines the program's goals of reducing stunting, undernutrition, and anemia among children and women.

National digital health mission- Dr. GurmeetYogesh Arora
The National Digital Health Blueprint outlines India's vision for a digital health ecosystem to support universal health coverage through digital systems and infrastructure. Key objectives include establishing digital health records for citizens, national health registries, and adopting open standards. The federated architecture separates data storage across national, state, and local levels while citizens maintain control over their health data. Building blocks like the Unique Health ID, electronic health records, and health directories will enable sharing of health information based on citizen consent for improved healthcare access, delivery and outcomes.
The document discusses India's growing burden of non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and stroke. It outlines the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) which aims to integrate NCD interventions into primary healthcare and provide prevention, early diagnosis, management and capacity building services. The strategies proposed include prevention through behavior change, early diagnosis, treatment, capacity building, and monitoring and evaluation. Services will be provided at sub-centers, community health centers and district hospitals, including health promotion, screening, management, home-based care and referrals.
The document outlines a social and behavioral change communication strategy to improve nutrition in Ethiopia. The goal is to improve nutrition for women, children, and adolescent girls. Key objectives include improving dietary and feeding practices, increasing demand for nutrition services, and fostering gender-equitable behaviors. The strategy involves qualitative research, stakeholder input, and focuses on behavior change at the household and community levels through a "whole household" approach and clustering behaviors into pathways. Priority behaviors targeted include maternal nutrition practices like antenatal care and supplementation as well as infant and young child feeding.

The document discusses the evolution of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCH+A) programs in India from the 1950s to present. It outlines the key historical programs and approaches, including the shift from a family planning focus to a more integrated reproductive health approach. The current RMNCH+A strategy aims to reduce maternal and child mortality by emphasizing continuum of care across the lifecycle through high impact interventions at various levels of the health system.
Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes now account for over half of deaths in India and place a large economic burden. The National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, CVD and Strokes (NPCDCS) aims to address NCDs through health promotion, screening, diagnosis, management, and capacity building integrated into primary healthcare. Current programs have had limited implementation; a comprehensive and widespread approach is still needed to reduce the growing NCD burden in India.
This document discusses social marketing and its applications to family welfare and influencing voluntary behavior. Social marketing applies commercial marketing techniques to analyze, plan, execute, and evaluate programs to promote products and services. It ensures consumer consultation to understand needs, likes/dislikes, and satisfaction. The key goals of social marketing for family welfare are to increase outlets for condoms, pills, ORS, etc.; improve quality; and enhance public-private partnerships. Social marketing addresses the marketing mix - product, price, place, promotion, and policy environment. The focus is learning what people want in terms of behavior and services. Examples are provided of how social marketing has increased condom and pill use in India and helped lower fertility rates.
The document provides information on the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3) conducted in India in 2005-2006. Some key points:

1) Sexual and reproductive health services are essential in humanitarian and fragile settings to reduce unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and maternal deaths. However, these services often face barriers to access during crises.
2) The Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for sexual and reproductive health aims to immediately implement lifesaving services at the onset of emergencies. It includes preventing sexual violence, reducing HIV transmission, and providing contraceptives and maternal/newborn healthcare.
3) Following the 2015 Nepal earthquake, the MISP was activated and services like clean delivery kits, medical camps, and outreach clinics helped address the sexual and reproductive health needs of those affected. Challenges to implementation included
The report provides an overview of the global burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. It finds that NCDs killed 36 million people in 2008, with nearly 80% of NCD deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use are major contributors to the NCD burden. The report analyzes population-wide and individual interventions that can effectively reduce NCD mortality and morbidity, and calls for urgent action to address the growing NCD epidemic globally.
This document provides an overview of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for Navigators and in-person assisters. It discusses the history and goals of health care reform in the United States.

This document summarizes the results of a clinical audit and confidential inquiry of caesarean section indications at a tertiary health care center in Maharashtra, India. The caesarean section rate was found to be 36.8%, higher than WHO standards. According to NICE guidelines, 60% of caesarean sections were emergency or urgent cases, while the rest were elective. Fetal bradycardia was the most common indication for emergency caesarean sections. Previous caesarean sections with inadequate pelvis was a common reason for elective caesarean sections. The confidential inquiry found that 79.02% of caesarean section indications were genuine, while 20.98%
This document summarizes the results of a vaccination coverage survey conducted after a measles mass vaccination campaign in rural DRC in 2015. The survey found that 64% of children were vaccinated for measles based on vaccination cards, and 85% based on cards or oral reports. Reasons for non-vaccination included lack of information, absence during vaccination, and financial barriers. Higher vaccination coverage was associated with guardians over age 25, transportation access, and social mobilization promotion of the campaign. The mass vaccination campaign did not achieve 95% coverage in the region due to population mobility. Supplementary vaccination efforts are recommended when populations return from seasonal displacement.
Low 3-dose completion and missed opportunities for the HPV vaccine in Utahdylanturner22
This document summarizes research on HPV vaccine uptake in Utah. It finds that while HPV vaccination rates have increased in Utah, the 3-dose completion rate remains below the national average at 24.1%. Focus groups with providers and parents in Utah identified some factors contributing to this, including missed opportunities to vaccinate, the need for multiple doses making completion challenging, and a lack of parent education. Interventions like improved provider recommendation and reminder systems may help increase completion rates in Utah. The research aims to better understand factors influencing HPV vaccination to guide future initiatives to reduce cervical cancer burden.

Day 2 - PCI - Strengthening Nutrition-related ActionsPOSHAN
The document discusses strategies to strengthen nutrition actions in India. It outlines interventions implemented by JEEViKA in Bihar to improve complementary feeding practices, including behavior change communication sessions, feeding demonstrations, home visits, and community events. Evaluation found the interventions improved minimum dietary diversity and minimum acceptable diet indicators. Concurrent measurement confirmed scale-up was also effective. Additionally, an independent survey showed significant improvements in these complementary feeding indicators in blocks where JEEViKA implemented the package of interventions.
This document summarizes a study on rural health care in Thoubal District, Manipur, India. It finds that while India's constitution recognizes health as a primary duty, rural populations still lack adequate access to health care due to factors like poverty, lack of infrastructure, and social/psychological barriers. The study aims to evaluate health care facilities and services in Thoubal District, examine factors influencing access to primary health care, and assess the quality of services provided by health care workers to rural communities. It analyzes key health indicators for Manipur from the National Family Health Survey and finds that while material well-being is low, Manipur has relatively good public health outcomes, such as low infant mortality.

2. KEY FINDINGS FROM NFHS-3: INDIA
The 2005-2006 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3),
the third in the NFHS series of surveys, provides infor-
mation on population, health and nutrition in India and
each of its 29 states. The survey is based on a sample of
households which is representative at the national and
state levels. NFHS-3 provides trend data on key indi-
cators and includes information on several new topics,
such as HIV/AIDS-related behaviour and the health of
slum populations. For the first time, NFHS-3 also pro-
vides information on men and unmarried women. In ad-
dition, HIV prevalence is measured at the national level
and for selected states. This fact sheet presents provi-
sional information on key indicators and trends at the
national level. The NFHS-3 fieldwork was conducted by
18 Research Organizations between December 2005
and August 2006.
