Mid Level Providers To Be Trained To Augment Primary Care: Dr Vinod K Paul
eHEALTH|September 2019
National Medical Bill will reform medical education. There is misconception about mid level providers among a section of medical fraternity that it will encourage quacks, but I assure everyone that it won’t do so, said Dr Vinod K Paul, Member, NITI Aayog, Government of India while delivering speech at Healthcare Summit Jharkhand held in Ranchi.

Mid Level Providers To Be Trained To Augment Primary Care: Dr Vinod K Paul

He further said there is no bridge course for Ayush in the Bill. “Mid level providers by definition is above the nurses and below the doctors and specialists. ANM and nurses would get extra training. We will be empowering those who are above nurses,” Paul said.

‘MID LEVEL PROVIDERS AUGMENT DOCTOR LED TEAM’

It is proven facts across the globe that mid level providers augment doctors led the team to boost the care delivery system. In several European countries, mid level providers are the norm. We don’t have such a mechanism in place because our rule doesn’t allow so. We are not creating barefoot doctors. We are not certifying quacks. We will be providing extra training to mid level providers thereby equipped them to provide the first line of treatment for diabetes and other diseases. It is needed to fill the human resource gap in the wake of a shortage of doctors across the country.

‘JHARKHAND WITNESSING PROGRESS IN HEALTHCARE’

Though Jharkhand is a new State, it has lots of potential. The State is making big strides in the leadership of Chief Minister Raghubar Das. We are also trying to contribute to Jharkhand’s healthcare delivery bandwagon, which is evolving in an unprecedented manner.

One of the biggest healthcare protection schemes Ayushman Bharat was launched from this State last year. Jharkhand has witnessed tremendous progress on this front, leveraging the scheme to create an affordable model of healthcare.
