Requirement based on norm of one ANM per each existing Sub
Centre & PHC
|
|
Public health
being a State subject, information on condition of buildings of PHCs is not
maintained by Government of India (GOI).
Public
Health being a State subject, the primary responsibility to ensure proper
staffing of public facilities and to provide the requisite health
infrastructure lies with the State Governments. Under the National Health
Mission (NHM), support is provided to States/UTs to strengthen their healthcare
systems including support for augmenting health human resource and for
construction/ renovation of Public Health facilities, based on the requirements
posed by State/ UTs in their Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs).
Further, to
increase the availability of doctors, several initiatives have been taken to
rationalize the norms in medical education, such as relaxation in land
requirements, bed strength, increase in ceiling for maximum intake for
undergraduates, enhancement of teacher-student ratio in Post Graduate Courses,
etc which has resulted in substantial increase in number of undergraduate and
post graduate seats. Government has also approved setting up of ANM/GNM Schools
in different States.
The
Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha
here today.
