The Rastriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) or Child Health Screening and Early Intervention Services Programme was launched in 2013 under India's National Health Mission. It aims to screen children from birth to 18 years for defects, diseases, deficiencies, and developmental delays. Mobile health teams screen children at anganwadi centers and schools. Children identified through screening are referred to District Early Intervention Centers for confirmation of diagnosis and free treatment. The programme aims to improve children's quality of life and reduce mortality and morbidity through early identification and intervention.
Launched by the ministry of health & family welfare, government of India, under the national health mission.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

KARYAKRAM (RBSK)
CHILD HEALTH SCREENING AND EARLY INTERVENTION
SERVICES UNDER NRHM

2. Introduction
• The Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) was launched in February 2013 by
Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, under the National
Health Mission
• The ‘Child Health Screening and Early Intervention Services’ Programme or RBSK
is an innovative and ambitious initiative, which envisages Child Health Screening
and Early Intervention Services, a systemic approach of early identification and link
to care, support and treatment for children from birth to 18 years.
• Health screening of children is a known intervention under the School Health
Programme.
3. Need for RBSK
• Out of every 100 babies born in this country annually, 6 to 7 have a birth
defect. In Indian context, this would translate to 1.7 million birth defects
annually and would account for 9.6 per cent of all newborn deaths. Various
nutritional deficiencies affecting the preschool children range from 4 percent
to 70 percent. Developmental delays are common in early childhood
affecting at least 10 percent of the children.
• These delays, if not intervened timely, may lead to permanent disabilities
with regard to cognition, hearing and vision.
4. • There are also groups of diseases which are very common in children e.g., dental
caries, otitis media, rheumatic heart disease and reactive airways diseases which can
be cured if detected early.
• It is understood that early intervention and management can prevent these
conditions to progress into more severe and debilitating forms, thereby reducing
hospitalisation and resulting in improved school attendance.
• The ‘Child Health Screening and Early Intervention Services’ will also translate into
economic benefits in the long run. Timely intervention would not only halt the
condition to deteriorate but would also reduce the out-of-pocket (OOP)
expenditure of the poor and the marginalised population in the country.
5. RBSK -Aim
• To improve the overall quality of life of children
• To reduce mortality and morbidity rates among children
• Early identification and early intervention of childhood
prevalent diseases.
6. RBSK - Objective
• Early identification and early intervention for children
from birth to 18 years to cover 4 ‘D’s viz. Defects at
birth, Diseases in children, Deficiency conditions and
Developmental delays including Disabilities.
8. Target age group/ Beneficiaries
• The services aim to cover children of 0 to 6 years of age in rural areas and urban
slums.
• In addition to children enrolled in class I to XII in Government and Government
aided Schools.
9. The broad category of age group and estimated beneficiary is as shown
below in the table .
Target group under Child Health Screening and Intervention Service
Category
Categories Age Group Estimated Coverage
Babies born at public health
facilities and home
Birth to 6 weeks 2 crores
Preschool children in rural areas and
urban slum
6weeks to 6 years 8 crores
School children enrolled in class 1st
and 12th in government and
government aided schools
6yrs to 18 yrs 17 crores
10. Mechanisms for screening at Community & Facility level:
• Under RBSK 0-6 year’s age group will be specifically managed at District
Early Intervention Centre (DEIC) level.
• while for 6-18 years age group, management of conditions will be done
through existing public health facilities. DEIC will act as referral linkages for
both the age groups.
11. • Immediately after delivery first level of screening is done at all delivery
points through existing Medical Officers, Staff Nurses and ANMs.
• After 48 hours till 6 weeks the screening of newborns will be done by ASHA
at home as a part of Home Based New-born Care (HBNC) package.
• Outreach screening will be done by dedicated Mobile Health teams for 6
weeks to 6 years at Anganwadi centres and 6-18 years children at school.
12. • Once the child is screened and referred from any of these points of
identification, it would be ensured that the necessary treatment/intervention
is delivered at zero cost to the family.
• It is expected that these services will reach to about 27 crores children in a
phased manner.
• The children have been grouped in to three categories owing to the fact that
different sets of tools would be used and also different set of conditions
could be prioritized.
13. Screening at Anganwadi Centre
• All pre-school children below 6 years of age would be screened by Mobile Block
Health teams for deficiencies, diseases, developmental delays including disability at
the Anganwadi centre at least twice a year.
• Tool for screening for 0-6 years is supported by
pictorial, job aids specifically for developmental delays. For developmental
delays children would be screened using age specific tools specific and those
suspected would be referred to DEIC for further management.
14. Screening at Schools - Government and Government aided
• School children age 6 to 18 years would be screened by Mobile Health teams for
deficiencies, diseases, developmental delays including disability, adolescent health at
the local schools at least once a year. The too used is questionnaire (preferably
translated to local or regional language) and clinical examination.
15. Composition of mobile health team
• The mobile health team will consist of four members- two Doctors
(AYUSH) one male and one female, at least with a bachelor degree from an
approved institution, one ANM/Staff Nurse and one Pharmacist with
proficiency in computer for data management
