17. Discussion:
 Previously, people were largely
dependent on the private practitioners for
their health needs, particularly during evening
and night hours.
 But, after the improvement of the
PHC, all their health needs were met without
any cost.
 All people around Morappur both
rich and poor, are coming to the PHC for their
health demands.

18.  People go out only when referred by the PHC
for tertiary care and major surgeries (like
Kalaingar Insurance scheme).
 Being 24x7 PHC, daily 70-100 people were
treated in the evening OP and 10-15 people were
treated during night hours for emergencies

19. œ Since, People are totally satisfied by the services
of the PHC, the demand for private players have
decreased.
œ During the last five years, two full fledged
nursing homes with OTs , two private labs, one X ray
unit have closed their shutters. Many Quacks who
were flourishing in near by villages took alternate jobs
for their survival.

20. • Hence, Up gradation of Morappur
PHC has greatly increased the
availability of quality health care services
.Also, Direct & Indirect costs towards
medical and health care have been
brought down to zero for the people of
Morappur.
Conclusion
