‘Jharkhand Gearing Up For Better Healthcare Delivery Model'

Q Tells us about the initiatives undertaken by the Government of Jharkhand to boost State healthcare delivery system.

Jharkhand is predominantly a rural and tribal society. We have 26 percent tribal population. Half of the areas are far-flung and hilly terrain. 15 districts are LWE (LeftWing Extremism) affected. Obviously, taking rural healthcare to people’s doorsteps is a big challenge. The State has taken many initiatives to improve the healthcare system of the State. Some of them are:

Free diagnostic and free radiological on PPP mode in all district hospitals

Free dialysis on PPP mode at district hospitals

108 ambulance service to provide emergency services

104 toll free service for health advice

Separate cadre for specialist doctor and recruitment through bidding system under NHM

All HSC and PHC are in the process of being converted into health and wellness centre. Till now we have converted 290 such centres to HWC

Telemedicine service for 100 PHC is ready to be rolled out

Running of CHC and HSC on PPP mode

Apart from that equipment maintenance by PPP mode, MMU service for rural area

Q Ayushman Bharat scheme was launched from Jharkhand last year. How has the scheme benefitted poor and vulnerable people to avail secondary and tertiary care?
