Editor's Notes
- BHORE COMMITTEE 1946: PHC a basic health unit to provide integrated preventive and curative services to rural population.one PHC/10 to 20,000 populations with 6 medical officers and 6 public health nurses and other supporting staff. CENTRAL COUNCIL OF HEALTH: In 1953 ,recommended for establishment of PHCs in community development blocks to provide comprehensive health care to rural population. One PHC is for 1,00,000 population with little or no community involvement. Poorly staffed and equipped, inadequately for covering the population. MUDALIAR COMMITTEE,1962: 1. Strengthening of existing PHCs and 2. One PHC for 40,000 populations. SHRIVASTAV COMMITTEE-1975: Community health care should be provided by health workers who are from the same community after proper training. So that people health is placed in people hands. In 1977, the government of India had launched a Rural Health Mission, based on the principle of “placing the people health in people hands”. NATIONAL HEALTH PLAN: As a signatory to the Alma-Ata declaration , India has proposed reorganization of primary health centres on the basis of one PHC for 30,000 populations in plain areas and 20,000 populations in tribal and hilly areas for more effective coverage
- Population Norms for PHC
- This means that the basic health services which are provided under primary health care must be provided to all the people, irrespective of the cast, creed, community and ability to pay (rich or poor) for it and thus these services must be accessible to all This principle is based on the fact that at present the health care services are concentrated in the towns and cities, (where 25 percent of population live and 75 percent of the budget is spent) to the rich and curative oriented. On the other hand, the needy and vulnerable groups of population like the poor rural and the urban slums (where 75% population live and 25% budget is spent) are neglected and who deserve the services most. This social injustice must be removed and the services must be equally distributed to all the people of the community This consists of active involvement of the people of the community in providing primary health care. This is based upon the fact that achieving universal coverage of primary health care is not possible without the involvement of the local community. Involvement of the community in planning, implementation and maintenance of health services is a very prominent feature. Community participation promotes social awareness and self-reliance of the community. It increases the community acceptance of the primary health care programs and reduces the distance between the providers and the consumers of health care. Advantages of community participation • It is a cost effective method of providing health services. • People begin to view health more objectively. So they are more likely to accept the care. • There will be greater commitment of the people resulting in the success of health care services. • Health awareness becomes an integral part of village life. • Health workers get greater support for their activities. • People become more soft reliant in taking care of their health. • Health care services become more relevant to the health needs of the people. • There is less dependence on the Government. • Quality of the health care improves
- It is also realized that primary health care to the community cannot be provided by health sector alone. It requires the co-ordination of other health related sectors also such as education, communication, fisheries, animal husbandry, food and agricultural department, animal husbandry, social-welfare, public-works, voluntary organizations, etc. (Fig. 34.3). Co-ordination of all these sectors is essential. This requires a strong political action. The co-ordination committees will make policies and implement in a planned way, so as to avoid duplication of the activities. The committee also reviews the activities periodically. This means that the technology of the health care service provided must be ‘appropriate’, i.e. it must be simple, scientifically sound, practically adaptable, culturally acceptable, economically cheaper and operationally convenient (Fig. 34.4). Appropriate technologies that have been developed and introduced in the country are Oral rehydration therapy, immunization programs, nutritional supplementation, DOTS, distribution of disposable delivery kits for domiciliary midwifery services, distribution of IFA tablets, biogas plants for cooking
- PHC includes at least: education concerning prevailing health problems and the methods of preventing and controlling them; promotion of food supply and proper nutrition; an adequate supply of safe water and basic sanitation; maternal and child health care, including family planning; immunization against the major infectious diseases; prevention and control of locally endemic diseases; appropriate treatment of common diseases and injuries; and provision of essential drugs

- Penicillins. For common type of infectious diseases the best and safest antibiotic is penicillin. But because of the emergence of resistant strains and the fear of hyper sensitivity reactions, the use of penicillin’s had declined well. Infection caused by all gram positive organisms, except penicillinase producing staphylococci are susceptible to penicillin. The availability of semisynthetic and synthetic penicillins are now replacing the simple pencillins. But the fear of hypersensitivity is similar to these agents also. In our set up the group of pencillins that may be made use of in the primary centres are the following: 1. ampicillin 2. Amoxycillin 3. Cloxacillin 4. Methicillin are the next important group of anti bacterial agents which may be made available in the primary centres. These can be used for penicillin resistant cases. I Gentamycin, Kanamycin and Amikacin may be stored to tackle the gram negative organisms. Erythromicin and related group of antibiotics are widely used for pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, cellulitis. Etc. They can be used in penicillin contra indicated cases also. The broad spectrum antibiotics like the tetracyclins and chloramphenicol are now a days very rarely used because of their toxicity and such drugs may not be stored for primary centres. The newer variety of Qunolones are now widely used mainly for treating typhoid fever and for managing resistant infections of tuberculosis. The primary centre should have enough quantity of anti-tuberculous drugs and also antileprosy drugs. The common anti tuberculous drugs anti leprotic drugs needed are Rifampincin, INH, Dapsone, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide, and Clofazimine.
