Arunachal Pradesh Embarking on Robust Healthcare System

The State has beautifully integrated various programmes with technological advancements to develop exemplary patient care model, says P. Parthiban, Secretary Health cum MD National Health Mission (NHM), Government of Arunachal Pradesh, in conversation with Nisha Samant and Mukul Kumar Mishra of Elets News Network (ENN).

Q. How do you assess the State’s healthcare delivery system in terms of accessibility and affordability?

The state has a unique issue due to difficult terrain and topography of the state. Around 60 percent of the population resides in the rural area. In order to increase accessibility of healthcare services, we have 1 medical college, 6 general hospitals, 15 district hospital, 61 community health centres, 148 primary health centres, 4 urban primary health centres and 582 sub health centres.

The number of health facilities in the state is more than the required numbers as per the Indian Public Health Standards. However, to ensure that the entire population has access to the healthcare services, the Government has set up health facilities across the state.

Provision of quality healthcare services to masses is a priority of the state government. With that objective, the state government provides budget annually for drugs and equipments in all the health facilities including HR. Adding to the state government’s budget, the Government of India also provides funds under various National Health Programmes through National Health Mission. These drugs are provided free of cost to all the patients coming to the health facilities. The state government has also implemented the Chief Minister’s Arogya Arunachal Yojna, wherein every household has a health cover of Rs 5 lakh per annum.

Q. Tell us about recent measures undertaken by the Government to boost overall patient care especially maternal and child health.
