Background
Reproductive and Child Health Programme, Phase II (RCH II), is an integral component of the National Rural Health Mission. Important steps have been taken within the mandate of this programme to ensure universal and equitable access to quality maternal and child health services based on the principle of continuum of care. RCH II has focussed on reducing social and geographical disparities in access to and utilisation of reproductive and child health services in order to accelerate the achievement of its goals.
The programme goals have been set in consonance with MDGs 4 and 5 and relate to maternal and infant mortality and total fertility rate. The major components of the RCH programme are Maternal Health, Child Health, Nutrition, Family Planning, Adolescent and Reproductive Health (ARSH) and Preconception Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act. A brief on key interventions under each of these components is discussed in this note.
Millennium Development and RCH II Goals
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5 relate to improving the health of mother and child and India’s national goals are aligned with them.
MDG 4: Reduce child mortality ‐ Target: Reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five
MDG 5: Improve maternal health – Target: Reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio

Karyakram (JSSK) : JSSK was launched on 1st June 2011 to provide completely free and cashless services to pregnant women (including normal deliveries and caesarean operations) and sick new born (up to 30 days after birth) in Government health institutions in both rural & urban areas. Details of the scheme are presented later in this document.
• Mobile Medical Units & Emergency Response Services: In order to provide services to the most remote and hard to reach areas, States have been supported for Mobile Medical Units. Over six years of NRHM, 461 out of 642 districts have been equipped with MMUs. So far 1787 vehicles are operational as MMUs in the country. Further, to provide Emergency referral transport, Call Centre based services have been operationalised in the 11 States so far.
• Skill development of health personnel – For improving the skill of doctors and paramedics, various training programmes have been conducted during six years of NRHM. So far, 42,530 persons are trained in SBA, 4.57 lakh in IMNCI and 27,522 personnel trained in IUCD insertion. Further, 1,221 doctors have been trained for Life Saving Anaesthesia skills and 3892 doctors in Basic Emergency Obstetric care. Additionally, 9,037 doctors are trained in MTP, 9723 doctors in tubectomy, 2286 doctors in vasectomy and 2406 doctors in F‐IMNCI.
• Referral systems are being strengthened through Public Private Partnership (PPP), voucher schemes and allocation of funds for referral transport.
• Safe Abortion Services are being made available at all FRUs and MCH Level 3 facilities (District Hospitals and sub‐district level facilities). Private and NGO sectors are encouraged to provide quality MTP services. Service providers are being trained in safe MTP techniques. The total number of MTPs conducted in both public and private sector institutions increased from 6.42 lakhs in 2008‐09 to 6.88 lakhs in 2009‐2010.
• Strengthening outreach activities by organizing Village Health and Nutrition Days: In rural areas, VHND organised every month at Anganwadi centers has provision for maternal care including counselling of pregnant women, where ANMs, ASHAs, AWWs and other field functionaries provide MCH services.
II. Child Heath Interventions Infant mortality rate in India has steadily declined from 58 per thousand live births in 2004 to 50 per thousand live births in 2009. However there is slow progress in reducing neonatal mortality which declined from 37 in 2004 to 34 in 2009. NMR has declined only by 3 points (37 to 35) as compared to 8 point decline in IMR (58 to 50) in the period 2005/2009. Deaths in the first week of life have shown the least progress. Key action points under child health component are:
10
2.1 Universal provision for Essential and Home Based new born care
• Establishment of NBSUs at MCH level I
• Training in Essential New Born Care (NSSK) and in Home Based New Born Care (Modules 6 and 7for ASHAs, IMNCI)
2.2 Facility Based New Born Care
• Establishment of SNCUs at District Hospitals/MCH level III and NBSUs at FRUs/MCH Level II facilities
• Free Referral Transport for sick newborns through JSSK
2.3 Management of child malnutrition
• Early detection of children with malnutrition through MCP cards, and in convergence with MWCD
• Facility based management of children with SAM through NRCs
2.4 Promotion of Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices
• Early Initiation of breastfeeding in first hour of birth ;Exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months ;Complementary feeding of children from 6 months onwards
2.5 Micronutrient supplementation
• IFA supplementation for children 6 months to 6 years
• Vitamin Supplementation for children 6 months to 5 years
2.6 Management of Diarrhoeal Diseases
• ORS and Zn supplementation
• Behaviour Change Communication through IEC
2.7 Management of Acute Respiratory Infections
• Early detection of respiratory infections
• Administration of antibiotics
2.8 Improving Immunisation Coverage & Eliminating Measles related Deaths
• Microplanning and Child Tracking System
• Increased Coverage by measles vaccine , Second dose of measles
2.9 Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) and Facility Based IMNCI
• Training of frontline workers (ANMs and AWWs) , SNs and physicians
• Referral of sick newborn (0‐2 mo.) and children (2 mo‐ 5 years) to health facilities
2.10. School Health Programme
• Screening of school going children
• IFA supplementation
11
- Essential newborn care is to be provided to all newborns at all birthing points. Navjat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (NSSK) is a programme to train health personnel in basic newborn care and resuscitation which was taken up in September 2009. More than 37,600 Health care providers have been trained in NSSK so far.
- Home Based New born Care Scheme: A new scheme is being introduced to incentivise ASHAs for providing Home Based New born care for babies up to 42 days. Home visits will be made by ASHAs on scheduled days and payment of Rs. 250 will be made when the specified conditions have been met. More details are provided later in this document. Capacity building of ASHAs on Home Based New Born Care will be done through modules 6 & 7 for ASHAs. This scheme will facilitate early detection of danger signs in neonates and therefore prompt referral to the institutions.
- Newborn Care Facilities are being established from MCH level I to Level III facilities. Level I provides Essential Newborn care to all children delivered in an institution while level II & III provide emergency care for sick newborn. Presently 263 Sick New Born Care Units (SNCUs), 1120 New Born Stabilisation Units (NBSUs) and 6403 New Born Care Corners (NBCs) have been established (till March 2011).
- Management of children with severe acute malnutrition is being addressed through
Nutritional Rehabilitation Centres. 1,346 NRCs have been established across the country till March 2011.
- Integrated Management of Neonatal & Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) which includes Pre‐
service and In‐service training of providers, improving health systems (e.g. facility up‐gradation, availability of logistics, referral systems), Community and Family level care, is being implemented in 408 districts across the country and 4, 57,463 health personnel have been trained in IMNCI till March 2011.
- School Health Programme aims at screening school children for common health
problems and making referrals to health facilities. In the financial year 2010‐11, 7, 01, 65,698 students in 3, 95,960 schools were covered through the programme.
12
III. Family Planning Interventions
Family planning is one of the key components under RCH for population stabilization and for improving health of mother and child. Provisional census data for 2011 shows that exponential annual growth rate has declined to 1.6% but the decline is not consistent in all states. While 14 states/ UTs have already achieved the replacement level, 12 states have TFR between 2.1 and 3 and 9 states (Bihar, U.P., Rajasthan, M.P., Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, D &N Haveli) have TFR more than 3. Key interventions under this component are:
3.1 Strong Political Will and Advocacy at the highest level, especially in states with high
fertility rates 3.2 Availability of Fixed Day Static Services at all facilities round the year by ensuring
availability of trained service provider and by gradually moving away from seasonal camp approach.
3.3 Revitalizing Postpartum Family Planning in order to capitalise on the opportunity provided by increased institutional deliveries.
3.4 Emphasis on Spacing methods like IUCD 3.5 Ensuring quality care in Family Planning services by establishing Quality Assurance
Committees at central, state and district levels and regular monitoring 3.6 Increasing male participation in family planning and promoting Non scalpel vasectomy 3.7 Accreditation of private providers 3.8 Strengthening community based distribution of contraceptives by involvement of
ASHAs and Focussed IEC/BCC efforts for enhancing demand and creating awareness on family planning
3.9 Improving contraceptives supply management till peripheral facilities 3.10 Strengthening monitoring and providing performance linked incentives
A new scheme is being launched wherein ASHA will promote the use of contraceptives at household level and making it available timely by:
Delivering contraceptives at homes of beneficiaries. Charging a nominal amount of Rs 1 for a pack of 3 condoms, Re 1 for a cycle of OCP and Rs 2 for an ECP, from the beneficiaries.
More details are provided later in this document.
13
IV. Immunization
Immunization is one of the key interventions for protection of children from seven vaccine preventable diseases namely Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio, Measles, Hepatitis B and severe form of childhood Tuberculosis. In addition, vaccine for Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is being provided in selected endemic districts of the country.
4.1 Interventions in Polio eradication
Bivalent oral polio vaccine was introduced for the first time in January 2010. This, as well as focus on improving quality of vaccination, has led to a significant achievement towards polio eradication. New polio cases have come down from 741 in 2009 to 42 in 2010. During 2011, only one polio case has been identified till May as compared to 21 cases during the same period in 2010.
4.2 Immunization activities
a. Government of India has introduced second dose of measles across the country. In addition, in States having less than 80% coverage, supplementary immunization activity has been taken up in a phased manner.
b. Hep‐B vaccine which was earlier introduced in 10 States has now been expanded to the entire country.
c. Pentavalent, a combination vaccine, which includes DPT + Hep‐B + Hib has been introduced on pilot basis in 2 States (Kerala and Tamil Nadu) covering 14 lakh children.
d. As per Status on 11th April 2011, 101 out of 109 districts have completed the JE Vaccination drive (campaign) and it is now introduced in routine immunization in these districts.
V. Programme review and monitoring
• Review Missions : To assess the progress made by the States in RCH programme, Joint Review Mission (JRM) is being conducted. The review is led by GoI with support and participation from state governments and Development Partners. So, far seven JRMs have been held. The seventh JRM was held during the period from July–August 2010.
• Evaluation Surveys: M & E division organizes periodic surveys namely National Family Health Survey (NFHS), District Level Household Surveys (DLHS), Facility Surveys.
• Regional Evaluation Survey (RET): RETs monitor and evaluate the programme implementation.
14
• Community Participation: To ensure involvement of the communities in over‐seeing the provisioning of health care and to redress the public grievances, 33149 Rogi Kalyan Samiti were constituted at health facilities and 4.83 lakh VHSCs constituted at village level , across the country.
VI. Other strategies under RCH programme
• Differential Planning and Supportive Supervision for High Focus Districts
To effectively address the problems of difficult, inaccessible, backward and under‐served areas having poor health indicators, Ministry has identified 264 high focus districts in 21 States have been identified based on the health indicators, concentration of SC/ST population for focused attention. Specific plans have been prepared for these districts keeping in view their special needs. Facilities have also been identified in these districts for better provisioning of mother and child health services. Besides providing additional resources to these districts, teams have been set‐up by Ministry to monitor progress in these districts on regular basis.
• Maternal & Child Health (MCH) Centres
Ministry is facilitating States in identifying the delivery points /MCH centres for making provision of basic and emergency obstetric care during pregnancy, child birth and in post natal period. Operationalization of these facilities is being made possible through rational deployment of existing manpower, training of doctors and specialists in these identified MCH centres/ delivery points and providing funds for upgradation of physical infrastructure.
• Tracking of mother and children
To ensure registration of all pregnant mothers and children and to monitor the ante‐natal and post‐natal checkup of mothers and immunization of children by identifying drop‐out cases, Government of India has introduced Mother and Child Tracking System which records complete data of the mothers with their addresses, telephone numbers etc. A help desk is in the process of being set up to monitor the progress and follow up on the interventions. As the system evolves, it would also provide a platform for creating awareness on health related issues.
• Maternal Death Review To analyze the reasons of maternal deaths so that appropriate interventions specific to State/area could be taken, a system of maternal death review was introduced in 2010. Detailed guidelines were issued by Government of India. Most of the States have already
15
initiated the process of maternal death review and have constituted District Review Committees.
• Infant Death Review
Infant Death Review has been introduced by many states on a pilot basis. Karnataka is one state that has developed the required structure and the mechanism to carry out Infant Death Review. This will provide an insight into causes of infant deaths in the country and help to develop specific plans in each district depending on predominant causes of death.
• Annual Health Survey Government of India has approved the Annual Health Survey to study the impact of the schemes under NRHM in reduction of Total Fertility Rate (TFR), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) at the district level and the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) at the regional level and to prepare District Health Profile of 284 districts in the EAG States (States with poor RCH indicators) and Assam to assess progress of health indicators on an annual basis. Previously, there was no such survey which could capture the impact of the schemes under NRHM on an annual basis.
VII. Financial Progress
It is the mandate of NRHM to increase the public expenditure in health sector. In the year 2010‐11, Rs.14652.69 Crores was released to the States. This was 12% increase over the previous year. States have booked an expenditure of Rs. 11755.68 Crores till December 2010 during 2010‐11. Since 2005, there has been a significant improvement in the utilization and absorption capacity of the states under NRHM. Over the period of six years, Rs 63268.43 Crores were released to the States under NRHM and Rs. 50175.69 Crores have been spent by the States.
Details of Physical and Financial Progress made under RCH II in2010‐2011 may be seen in tables attached in Annexure.
16
VIII. Operational Issues identified from Integrated Field Monitoring Visit
Integrated Field Monitoring Teams (IFMTs) have been constituted, consisting of Senior Technical Officers of MoHFW, Consultants from RCH and NRHM Division, NIHFW, NHSRC and representatives from R.D. Office. A total of 14 teams have been constituted and during the First Quarter of 2011‐12, 24 districts have been visited. Purpose of the team visits is:
• To monitor the status of implementation of RCH II/NRHM strategies in the district
• To understand the strength, best practices, gaps in implementation, constraints, if any, and support that can be rendered by the MoHFW to the states
Drugs, Consumables & Equipment
• Expired and ‘shortly going to expire’ drugs found at many facilities, distribution of such drugs was also reported (e.g. APHC Chapran, District Saharsa, Bihar)
• Lack of Annual Maintenance Contract for equipments a major issue in most facilities Training
• Limited training capacity in some of the visited districts
• RTI/STI, IMNCI, IMEP training not rolled out in Chhattisgarh
• SBA training needs complete re‐organization in few facilities (e.g. District Saharsa & Madhepura, Bihar)
Maternal Health
• Quality of ANC & PNC services remains inadequate
• Safe abortion services mostly non‐functional (e.g. District East & West Garo Hills)
• Joint MCH card and Safe Motherhood booklet not being used in many of the facilities
• Maintenance of Partograph and case sheet lacking/inadequate in most facilities despite ANMs being SBA trained (e.g. District Dhamtari, Chhattisgarh)
• Maternal Death Review not initiated in most of the visited districts Referral Services and Transport

• Payments made through cash disbursement due to lack of banking facility at some districts
• Problems with issue of cheque books by the banks also observed
17
Child Health New born care services elementary at most of the health facilities Baby warmer lying unutilized, understanding of staff is inadequate regarding usage
of equipments No record maintained on the number of Low Birth Weight babies delivered at
facilities (e.g. District Dhamtari, Chhattisgarh) No system in place for treatment of severely malnourished children (e.g. District East
& West Garo Hills, Meghalaya)
Immunization
• Lack of electricity back up provision for ILR and Deep Freezer observed in most facilities
• Lack of proper indenting system an issue for stock maintenance
• Ideal practice of bundling of vaccines not observed in many facilities
• No system of alternate vaccine delivery (e.g. District of Dhamtari, Bihar; East & West Garo Hills, Meghalaya; Kinnaur, HP)
Family Planning Family planning services quality questionable , not yet receiving priority in many of
the visited districts, post partum family planning service and use of spacing methods weak (e.g. District Kinnaur, HP; East & West Garo Hills, Meghalaya)
Stock outs observed for as much as six months at peripheral facilities (e.g. District Dhamtari & Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh)
PC & PNDT
• Implementation of PC & PNDT Act inadequate
• Regular meetings not conducted in many of the districts
• Form F under PC & PNDT Act not maintained in many facilities Adolescent Health:
• No functional adolescent health services, except for signboards outside rooms in some facilities
• Fixed Day ARSH services and counsellors placed at some Civil Hospital/s School Health Programme:
• Weak school health programme in almost all the visited districts
18
IX. Key areas of concern
• Programme Management Structure at State and District level
• Differential Planning for Backward areas and Allocation of Resources
• Rational Deployment of Human Resources
• Focus on Immunisation programme
• Primary Record Maintenance
• Facility Based Monitoring of RCH Programme
19
Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram
RATIONALE: About 67,000 women in India die every year due to pregnancy related complications and about 9 lakhs newborn babies die within four weeks of birth of which about 7 lakhs i.e. 75 per cent die within the first week. The first 28 days of infancy period are therefore very important and critical in order to save newborn lives. Both maternal and infant deaths can be reduced by ensuring timely access to quality services, both essential & emergency, in public health facilities while assuring that they do not have to shoulder the burden of expenses. With the launch of the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), the number of institutional deliveries has increased significantly. However 25% pregnant women still hesitate to access health facilities. Those who have opted for institutional delivery are not willing to stay for 48 hrs, which is a critical period for identification and management of complications in both the mother and the neonate. Important factors affecting access include:
• High out of pocket expenses on – o User charges for OPD, admissions, diagnostic tests, blood etc. o Purchase of medicines and other consumables from the market
• Non availability of diet in most institutions
• Transport for travel to the health facility and back and between facilities in case of referrals
Out‐of‐pocket payments are, without doubt, a major barrier for pregnant women and children so far as access to institutional healthcare is concerned. The impoverishing effect of healthcare payments on Indian households is well established. Out‐of‐pocket spending in government institutions is both common and substantial, partly because of a weak supply chain management of drugs and other logistics and partly because of malpractices. Prescriptions by doctors, even in government settings, can be unnecessarily expensive and may include not just medicines but consumables such as surgical gloves, syringes, IV (intravenous) sets, and cannulae, etc. Under these circumstances, the goals of NRHM for provision of affordable, equitable and accessible health services are defeated. Under NRHM, it is expected that each and every pregnant woman and infant gets timely access to the health care system for the required ante‐natal, intra‐natal, post natal care and immunization services free of cost. It is paradoxical that some states have levied user charges for deliveries at the time when efforts are being made nationally to address factors impeding institutional deliveries and to give incentives to women to approach government institutions for childbirth through
20
schemes such as the Janani Suraksha Yojana. Hence, notwithstanding substantial investments to improve provisioning for maternal and child healthcare, the burden of out‐of‐pocket expenses for pregnant women and children has persisted in the public health system across most states. The fact that entitlements were not explicitly articulated and were vague left much scope for denial of services that national programmes, including the National Rural Health Mission and its precursors, have consistently strived for. THE NEW INITIATIVE Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK) launched from Mewat district in Haryana on June 1, unmistakably signals a huge leap forward in the quest to make "health for all" a reality. It invokes a new approach to healthcare, placing, for the first time, utmost emphasis on entitlements and elimination of out‐of‐pocket expenses for both pregnant women and sick neonates. The initiative entitles all pregnant women delivering in public health institutions to absolutely free and no‐expense delivery, including caesarean section. It stipulates out that all expenses related to delivery in a public institution would be borne entirely by the government and no user charges would be levied. Under this initiative, a pregnant woman would be entitled to free transport from home to the government health facility, between facilities, in case she is referred on account of complications, and also drop‐back home after delivery. Entitlements would include free drugs and consumables, free diagnostics, free blood wherever required, and free diet for the duration of a woman's stay in the facility, expected to be three days in case of a normal delivery and seven in case of a caesarean section. Similar entitlements have been put in place for all sick newborns accessing public health institutions for healthcare till 30 days after birth. They would also be entitled to free treatment besides free transport, both ways and between facilities in case of a referral. The initiative is estimated to benefit more than 1 crore pregnant women & newborns that access public health institutions every year in both urban & rural areas, and also increase access to health care for the over 70 lakh women delivering at home. This initiative supplements the cash assistance given to a pregnant woman under JSY and is aimed at mitigating the burden of out of pocket expenses incurred by pregnant women and sick newborns. Entitlements for Pregnant Women:
Free and zero expense for delivery and Caesarean Section Free Drugs and Consumables Free Essential Diagnostics (Blood, Urine tests and Ultra‐sonography etc) Free Diet during stay in the health institutions (up to 3 days for normal delivery & 7 days for caesarean section)
21
Free Provision of Blood Free Transport from Home to Health Institutions Free Transport between facilities in case of referral Drop Back from Institutions to home after 48 hrs stay Exemption from all kinds of User Charges
Entitlements for Sick Newborn till 30 days after birth:
Free and zero expense treatment Free Drugs and Consumables Free Diagnostics Free Provision of Blood Free Transport from Home to Health Institutions Free Transport between facilities in case of referral Drop Back from Institutions to home Exemption from all kinds of User Charges
Drugs and consumables Drugs & consumables including supplements such as Iron Folic Acid are required to be given free of cost to the pregnant women during ANC, INC, PNC up to 6 weeks which includes management of normal delivery, C‐section and any complications during the pregnancy and childbirth. The same is also needed when a neonate is sick and needs urgent and priority treatment. Diagnostics During pregnancy, childbirth and in post natal period, investigations are essential for timely diagnosis of complications and likely problems which the women can face during the process of child birth. Both essential and desirable investigations are required to be conducted free of cost for the pregnant women during ANC, INC, PNC up to 6 weeks which includes investigations required prior to both normal delivery and C‐section. The same are also needed when a neonate is sick and needs urgent and priority treatment for conditions like infection, pneumonia, etc. Diet The first 48 hrs after delivery are vital for detecting any complications and its immediate management. Care of the mother and baby (including immunization) are essential immediately after delivery and at least up to 48 hrs. During this period, mother is guided for initiating breast feeding and advised for extra calories, fluids and adequate rest which are needed for the well being of the baby and her own self. Non availability of diet at the health facilities demotivates the mothers who have recently delivered from staying at the health facilities and most of the mothers prefer returning home immediately after delivery. This
22
hampers adequate care of the pregnant women and neonates, which is important for quality PNC services. Blood Blood transfusion may be required to tackle emergencies and complication of deliveries such as management of severe anaemia, PPH and C sections, etc. Exemption from user charges User charges are levied by many State Governments for OPD, admissions, diagnostic tests, blood etc. These add up to the out of pocket expenses. On occasion, there are situations where these pregnant women are misguided and become vulnerable for exploitation by private diagnostic centres for unnecessary investigations. Referral transport It is well proven that a significant number of maternal and neonatal deaths could be saved by providing timely referral transport facility to the pregnant women for normal delivery, C‐section. This also needs to be provided to a neonate up to 30 days, when the baby is sick and needs urgent and priority treatment particularly for conditions like infection, pneumonia, etc. A drop back facility alleviates the pressure to leave the health facility earlier than desirable & obviates out of pocket expenses. The free referral transport entitlements for pregnant women and sick neonates up to 30 days & thereafter are as under:
1. Transport from home to the health facility 2. Referral to the higher facility in case of need 3. Drop back from the facility to home
Grievance Redressal: This is an important aspect of implementing this scheme and mechanism to address grievances should be in place. This includes display the names, addresses, emails, telephones, mobiles and fax numbers of grievance redressal authorities at prominent places in health facility level, district level and state level, and disseminate them widely in the public domain, set up help desks and suggestion / complaint boxes at Government health facilities, and maintaining proper records of actions taken. Detailed Guidelines on this scheme may be referred to for implementation details.

Strengthening New Born Care: Home Based Newborn Care Scheme
In India 26 million babies are born every year, and 940,000 babies die before one month of life. The neonatal period is only 28 days, and yet at 34/1000 lives births (SRS, 2009), neonatal mortality contributes about 68% of all infant deaths and 49% of all deaths in children younger than age 5 years. Preventable morbidities such as hypothermia, asphyxia, infections and respiratory distress continue to be the main causes of mortality in the neonatal period. There is a growing recognition that in order to bring IMR, substantial reduction in Neonatal Mortality Rate is needed. Rapidly increasing numbers of newborns are being delivered in hospitals after the launch of JSY scheme. The roll out of Home Based New Born Care and IMNCI also leads to increased contact of frontline health workers and newborns at their households, thus creating scope for improved detection and referral of sick newborns to health facilities. There are several interventions that have proven to be both feasible and cost‐effective in reducing newborn deaths. These include interventions such as skilled attendance at birth, access to emergency obstetric care, immediate and exclusive breastfeeding, drying and keeping the newborn warm, and if needed, resuscitation, care of low birth weight infants, and treatment of infection. Therefore, improving newborn health is not a matter of finding new solutions but scaling up the proven solutions via existing mechanisms and workforce. In other words, the real task is to spread awareness of sound newborn health practices or “what works” to those who need it, especially mothers, other primary caregivers, and health providers, and to integrate essential newborn health care into existing maternal and infant care. Most of the causes of deaths in the newborn period can be prevented or managed by households, communities and health facilities. Home‐based care of all newborns and Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illnesses are the two programmes that address these problems. They equip frontline workers (ASHAs & ANMs and at places even AWWs) with the required skills to assess the newborn, promote healthy practices, manage simple problems and refer those with serious illnesses. Provision and delivery of services for both essential newborn care and care of sick newborns in the existing health facilities at the district and sub‐district level has been another approach towards achieving the same objective.
24
Within RCH, Newborn care is being seen as a ‘continuum’ with components of immediate and Essential Care of all Newborn delivered at health facilities to prevent complications at birth, Home Based Newborn Care for all babies to prevent and detect illnesses in post natal period with provision of extra care of low birth weight babies, and access to quality emergency care for the sick newborn at newborn care health facilities. The three components are to be interlinked with seamless referral and follow up between them.
Essential Newborn Care and Basic Resuscitation
Essential newborn care includes care to all newborns means interventions for all newborns to meet their physiological needs; prevention of infection, preservation of warmth, appropriate nutrition by early & frequent breast‐feeding, initiation of breathing by resuscitation when needed. Essential newborn care assures survival of all those that are born well‐equipped to survive (term, newborns without malformations) and give good start for pre‐term & small babies.
The protocol of ENC is a series of time bound, chronologically – ordered standard procedures that a baby receives at birth. At the heart of the protocol are time bound interventions: Hand‐washing, immediate drying, skin to skin contact followed by clamping of the code after 1 to 3 minutes, non separation of the body from mother and breast feeding initiation. Simple steps, yet, extremely effective:
♦ Cleanliness to prevent infection in newborns
♦ Immediate drying prevents hypothermia, which is extremely important to survival.
♦ Delayed code clamping until the umbilical code stops pulsating decreases anaemia.
♦ Keeping mother and baby in uninterrupted skin to skin contact prevents hypothermia, increases colonization with protected family bacteria and improves breast feeding initiation and exclusivity.
♦ Breast feeding within the first hour of life prevents infections
Care during the immediate postnatal period & up‐to discharge from the facility
♦ Routine monitoring
♦ Immunization
♦ Counselling
♦ Discharge instructions
25
In addition to the basic protocols, Essential newborn care includes additional protocols for Basic Resuscitation. The basic resuscitation algorithm defines the steps necessary to ventilate a newborn baby that is not breathing at birth.
In order to operationalize Essential Newborn Care and Basic Resuscitation services, an enabling environment at the facilities is needed. It is important to prepare for each delivery, using standard precaution, equipment use & maintenance and organizing care in the labor room and postnatal wards.
Home Based Newborn Care Scheme
A major proportion of newborn deaths occur at home. Although, in the last 5‐6 years, institutional deliveries have risen to above 70%, still newborns remain at high risk of dying due to common ailments. Necessity for high quality home based newborn care while continuing to move towards institutional care and also catering to early diagnosis and ensuring prompt referral of sick newborns is essential in reducing NMR.
Global evidence shows that home visits for neonatal care by community health workers is associated with reduced neonatal mortality in resource‐limited settings with poorly accessible facility‐based care.
The purpose of the Home Based New Born Care Scheme is to improve community new born care practices and to improve ealry detection of neonatal illnesses. Home Visits : The ASHA is expected to visit the newborn according to a schedule of home visits for the care of the newborn. The purpose of these visits is to ensure wamth, exclusive breastfeeding, promote hand washing, discourage unhealthy practices such as early bathing, bottle feeding, and prompt identifcation of sepsis or other illnesses. The role of an ASHA during the visit for the newborn also combines crucial post partum care and support for the mother, including family planning counselling. These home visits are not solely focused on a vertical programme for newborn care but are holistic and comprehensive. The recommended schedule is as follows: Six visits in the case of instituional delivery (days 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42), and seven visits in the case of home delivery (days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42). Additional visits will be required for babies that are low birth weight, preterm, or ill. Payment and Conditionality: The ASHA is to be paid Rs. 250 for condcuting home visits for the care of the newborn and post partum mother. The amount is paid based on the completed home visit form, validated by the facilitator. This is paid on the 45th day subject to the following
26
- Ensuring that birth weight is recorded in the Maternal and Child Protection (MCP) Card
- Ensuring that the newborn is immunized with: BCG, first does of OPV and DPT - Ensuring Birth Registration - Both mother and newborn are safe until the 42nd day of delivery
Extra visits made for home delivery or for the high risk newborn – will not be paid
Payment would be made by the same mechanism which the state has chosen for making JSY payments.
Using a crude birth rate of 26/1000, as an average estimate for the country, this would amount to about 26 births in the area that an ASHA will cover or approximately two births per month. Thus an ASHA could earn Rs 500 per month on this task.
Capacity building of ASHAs: Ministry of Health has decided to scale up the Home Based Newborn Care (HBNC) to all states – with priority focus in 264 high focus districts. ASHA module 6 and 7 that incorporates HBNC has been prepared and state level trainers have been trained from most states on these modules and training of district trainers is ongoing.
ASHA support systems: To effectively implement these skills the ASHA requires competency based training, and an effective support structure in the field to supervise and mentor her functioning. Other support mechanisms include a communication kit and drugs and equipment to enable her to counsel, manage or refer as required. State ASHA Resource Centre, District and Block Mobilizers and ASHA facilitators are required to provide the management and monitoring support functions related to the training and rollout of the modules, to mentor and support the ASHA in the field and to enable performance monitoring. Mechanism for monitoring and evaluation The ASHA uses two check lists: First Visit to the Newborn and Home visit form to remind her to ask the key questions and the steps of examination and counseling the mother. These can also serve as the basis for payment. As part of skill building (Module 6), the ASHA is trained to complete a Home Visit Form, which also serves as a checklist of the ASHA on key signs and symptoms to look for, and actions to be taken. This form can be used to assess the number and content of her visits, and should be signed by the ASHA facilitator. ASHA will be entitled to get the incentive only after necessary entries in the MCP card are verified by the ANM.
Detailed guidelines for the Scheme will be shared as a separate document.

POPULATION STABILISATION & FAMILY PLANNING
INTRODUCTION In 1952, India launched the world’s first national program emphasizing family planning to the extent necessary for reducing birth rates "to stabilize the population at a level consistent with the requirement of national economy". Since then, the family planning program has evolved and the program is currently being repositioned to not only achieve population stabilization but also to promote reproductive health and reduce maternal, infant & child mortality and morbidity. The growth of India’s population since independence hovered around 2% per year for almost four decades. After 1981, the trend in the population growth rate was reversed. The decline was slow during 1981‐91 but accelerated during 1991‐2000 (1.9%). Provisional census data for 2011 shows that exponential annual growth rate has further declined to 1.6%. India’s population as per 2011 census was 1.21 billion, second only to China in the world. India accounts for 2.4% of the world's surface area yet it supports more than 17.5% of the world's population. The TFR in India has declined from 6.0 in 1951 to 2.6 (SRS) in 2009 but the decline is not consistent in all the states. While 14 states/ UTs have already achieved the replacement level, 12 states have TFR between 2.1 and 3 and 9 states (Bihar, UP, Rajasthan, MP, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, D&N Haveli) have TFR more than 3.

As per DLHS–3 (2007‐08), 54.1% of the eligible couples use any of the contraceptive method compared to. Out of the modern methods, 34% accepted female sterilization and only 1% male sterilization. Among spacing methods, Pills, Condoms and IUCD were accepted by 4%, 6% and 2% of the eligible couples respectively. Contraceptive Prevalence Rate has not increased much.

KEY STRATEGIES FOR FAMILY PLANNING UNDER RCH – II
1. Strong political will and advocacy at the highest levels like Chief Ministers, parliamentarians, religious leaders and opinion leaders, for achieving population stabilization with a special focus in the states with high fertility rates.
2. Availability of Fixed Day Static Services at all facilities round the year by ensuring availability of trained service provider so as to gradually move away from seasonal camp approach.
3. Revitalizing Postpartum Family Planning to address high unmet need for family planning during this period and utilizing the opportunity provided by increased institutional deliveries.
4. Equal emphasis on Spacing Methods – Promoting IUCD as long term, safe and effective method.
5. Ensuring Quality of Family Planning services by strengthening DQACs/SQAc and regular monitoring of services
6. Increasing male participation in family planning including promotion of NSV
7. Accreditation of Private providers
8. Strengthening Community Based Distribution of Contraceptives by involvement
30
of ASHAs and Focussed IEC/BCC efforts for enhancing demand and creating awareness on family planning
9. Improving contraceptives supply management till peripheral facilities
10. Strengthening monitoring and providing performance based incentives
KEY ISSUES IN FAMILY PLANNING 1. 46% of the population in 2011 is contributed by 8 EAG states out of which 6 states have
(UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand) Total Fertility Rate (TFR) more than 3.0.
2. Unmet need for both spacing and limiting methods of contraception is highest in Bihar (37.2), Jharkhand (34.7) and Uttar Pradesh (33.8 ) compared to national 21.5(DLHS III)
3. Contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) is lowest in UP (26.7), Bihar (28.4). (India average is 46.2.)
4. Low female literacy, early age at marriage and child bearing are also prevalent in these states adding to population momentum. About 49% of girls in rural areas are married even before they turn 18 and almost 5.6% of total births take place in girls below 18 years of age.
5. Insufficient availability of trained service providers at peripheral health facilities to provide regular quality FP (especially sterilization) services throughout the year.
6. Lack of motivation of the staff to provide Family planning services. 7. Less focus on Post partum family planning services despite increase in institutional
deliveries. 8. Continued dependence on Camp mode for sterilization services, that too in the winter
months. 9. Most of the states pre‐dominantly cater to their demands of female sterilisation through
the laparoscopic mode, which is technically & logistically difficult; employing the minilap mode of tubectomy would result in more service providers as well as services
10. Male participation in adopting Family planning remains low (less than 5% of total sterilizations).
11. Female sterilization continues to remain the predominant method of contraception despite other effective methods like IUCD, oral contraceptive pills being available.

POPULATION STABILISATION India’s population as per 2011 census was 1.21 billion, second only to China in the world. India accounts for 2.4% of the world's surface area yet it supports more than 17.5% of the world's population. Population Stabilization has always been one of the priority agenda and Family Planning as one of the key intervention for the Government. In 1952, India was the first country in the world to launch a national programme, emphasizing family planning to the extent necessary for reducing birth rates "to stabilize the population at a level consistent with the requirement of national economy". The program has come a long way and currently Family Planning Program is being repositioned to not only achieve population stabilization but also to reduce maternal mortality and infant and child mortality. The National Population Policy, 2000 (NPP 2000) provides a policy framework for advancing goals and prioritizing strategies to meet the reproductive and child health needs of the people of India, and to achieve net replacement levels of fertility (i.e. TFR 2.1) by 2010. National Socio‐Demographic Goals formulated to achieve the objectives of NPP, envisaged to –
• Address the unmet needs for basic reproductive and child health services, supplies and infrastructure and to promote vigorously the small family norm to achieve replacement levels of TFR.
• Achieve 80 percent institutional deliveries and 100 percent deliveries by trained persons
• Reduce infant mortality rate to below 30 per 1000 live births, maternal mortality ratio to below 100 per 100,000 live births, 100% registration of all births, deaths and pregnancies and achieve universal immunization of children against all vaccine preventable diseases.
• Promote delayed marriage for girls, not earlier than age 18 and preferably after 20 years of age.
• Achieve universal access to information/counselling, and services for fertility regulation and contraception with a wide basket of choices.
• Bring about convergence in implementation of related social sector programs so that family welfare becomes a people centred programme
Total Fertility Rate is still 2.6 at National level and scenario is diverse across states. Nine states are well above the replacement level fertility (TFR >3); twelve states/UTs are at threshold of achieving the replacement level of fertility (TFR – 2.1‐3) while 11 state and 3 UTs have already achieved the replacement level of fertility i.e. <2.1.
32
The states also differ widely in terms of health indicators, nutritional status and socio‐ economic situation. Practice of Family planning is also low in the states where the other indicators are poor. Therefore, addressing population growth in the states with high fertility require a comprehensive approach to population stabilization based on social and economic development and improvements in the quality of life of people. RENEWED THRUST Currently Govt of India follows High‐focus district approach (264 such districts have been selected) and support these districts (& states) for better implementation of Family Planning programmes (&other programmes as well). Govt of India is committed to reduce the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) to 100/100,000 live births, Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) to 30/1000 live births and to achieve the replacement level of fertility (Total Fertility Rate ‐ 2.1) by 2012. There is enough evidence to show that Family Planning can play an integral role to save the lives of mothers and children and help in achieving the National Goals. It is estimated that If the current unmet need for family planning in India is fulfilled by making available, affordable family planning services over the next 5 years, we can STRATEGIC OPTIONS FOR POPULATION STABILIZATION States with TFR >3.0 (U.P. Bihar, M.P., Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Meghalaya): These states will account for almost 50% of the increase in India’s Population in coming years. In these states, the immediate concern is to address the unmet need and focus upon socio economic development to reduce the wanted fertility (desire for more than two children). At the same time the momentum for future population growth is to be checked by delaying age at marriage and ensuring adequate spacing between births. States with TFR between 2.1 to <3 (Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Haryana, J&K, Orissa): The immediate concern in these states is to assist the couples to achieve their fertility goals by strengthening the family planning programme. For States with TFR <2.1 (Delhi and Himachal Pradesh): The immediate concern in these states is to check the population momentum by delaying the age at marriage and ensuring adequate spacing between births.
33
KEY THRUST AREAS – 12TH FIVE YEAR PLAN: FAMILY PLANNING
• Addressing the unmet need in contraception through introduction of newer contraceptives.
• Strengthening family planning service delivery, especially Post‐Partum Sterilisation in high case load facilities.
• Enlisting private/NGO facilities to improve the provider base for family planning services.
• Community based distribution of contraceptives through ASHAs.
• Vigorous advocacy of family planning at all levels specially at the highest political level.
Strategies to achieve thrust areas:
• Strengthening human resource structures (for programme management) at all levels (national, state and district)
• Introduction of a dedicated counsellor for family planning at district hospitals and high case load facilities.
• Marketing of contraceptives at households through ASHAs at nominal charges
• Improving compensation package (both for providers and acceptors) for sterilisation services
• Introducing Multi –load IUD (375) as a short term spacing method to improve IUD acceptance
• Performance Linked Payment Plan to ASHAs for improving retention and usage of IUDs
• Enlisting more number of private providers/ NGOs for provision of services
• Ensuring vigorous advocacy SCHEME FOR DELIVERY OF CONTRACEPTIVES BY ASHAs AT HOMES Scheme: ASHA would promote the use of contraceptives at the household level and making it available timely:
ASHAs would deliver contraceptives at homes of beneficiaries. She shall charge a nominal amount of Rs 1 for a pack of 3 condoms, Re 1 for a cycle of OCP and Rs 2 for an ECP, from the beneficiaries.
Logistics & supply chain: The contraceptives would be dispatched to the pilot districts directly.(CMOs would be the consignee)
Supply below district would follow existing supply chain of state. The ASHA shall lift and replenish her stock every month from the Block PHC. The packs would be marked
“Government of India supply,” “for home delivery by ASHA,”
34
“Re 1/‐ for a pack of 3 condoms/ Re 1/‐ for a cycle of OCPs/ Re 2/‐ for a pack of one tablet of ECP”
The current ‘free supply scheme’ shall be continued only from CHC level upwards i.e. CHC, sub district hospital and district hospital.
The scheme will be operational at the PHC and SC level.
Coverage: The scheme is proposed to be implemented in 233 districts of 17 states:

Scheme for Promotion of Menstrual Hygiene among Adolescent Girls (10‐19 years) in Rural India
I. Background The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has approved a new scheme for the promotion of menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls in the age group of 10‐19 years in rural areas. This scheme is aimed at ensuring that adolescent girls (10‐ 19 years) in rural areas have adequate knowledge and information about menstrual hygiene and the use of sanitary napkins. Evidence suggests that lack of access to menstrual hygiene (which includes sanitary napkins, toilets in schools, availability of water, privacy and safe disposal) could contribute to local infections including reproductive tract infections (RTI). Studies have shown that RTIs are closely interrelated with poor menstrual hygiene and pose grave threats to women’s lives, livelihood, and education. Services for the prevention and treatment of RTI/STI are integral part of the Reproductive Child Health II Programme (RCH II). With specific reference to ensuring better menstrual health and hygiene for adolescent girls, Government of India is launching this scheme as part of the Adolescent Reproductive Sexual Health (ARSH) in RCH II. II. Scheme Modalities In the first phase, the scheme will cover 25% of the population i.e. 1.5 crore girls in the age group of 10‐19 years in 152 districts of 20 states. The girls will be provided with a pack of 6 sanitary napkins under the National Rural Health Mission’s brand ‘Freedays’. These napkins will be sold to the adolescents girls at Rs. 6 for a pack of 6 napkins in the village by the Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA). This means a napkin will be available at an affordable rate of Rs. 1 per piece. It is expected that making sanitary napkins available at the village level, the usage of sanitary napkins will increase. Currently, sanitary napkins are not readily available in rural areas leaving young girls and women little choice besides using indigenous methods like cloth, straw, ash etc. Easy access and convenient pricing are the strategies adopted by the Ministry for increasing usage of safe and hygienic practices during menstruation. The ASHA will get an incentive of Re. 1 on sale of each pack, besides a free pack of sanitary napkins per month. The cost of the incentive for ASHA must be met out of the sale proceeds. The ASHA is also required to facilitate a monthly meeting with adolescent girls in the village to promote menstrual hygiene and she will be given an incentive of Rs. 50 for each monthly meeting with adolescent girls.
37
III. Current Status III.a. ASHA Training To ensure the smooth roll‐out of the scheme in the identified states, the Ministry with support from National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) developed operational guidelines for the scheme. These have been printed in English and Hindi and disseminated in the 20 states where the scheme is being implemented in the first phase. Training and inter‐personal communication (IPC) material including training and reading module for ASHA and a flip‐book on menstrual hygiene has also been developed and shared with the states and translated in vernacular languages to be used at the community level. The training of trainers (ToT) for master trainers from each of the 20 identified states was completed in August 2010. The training of ASHAs on menstrual hygiene in the states is expected to be completed by July 2011. III.b. Strengthening Women’s Self Help Groups for Production of Sanitary Napkins As part of this scheme, supply of sanitary napkins in 45 identified districts shall be from women’s self help groups. To streamline the SHG training and production, NHSRC has been appointed as the nodal agency for providing technical support. 2 batches of exposure cum training for 40 nodal officers from 15 states from the Departments of Health, Women and Child Development and Rural Development have been organised in Chennai in November 2010. III.c Branding The Ministry with support from UNFPA has developed the NRHM brand of sanitary napkins ‘Freedays’. This brand name was finalised after research with adolescent girls in rural Bihar. TV spots are currently under production. The scripts drafted by a subsidiary of USAID have been approved and final spots will be ready for airing on TV and radio shortly. III.d Supply of Sanitary Napkins M/s HLL Lifecare Limited, a PSU of this Ministry shall be supplying the packs of Freedays sanitary napkins at the district level in 107 districts as per the consignee details shared by states. In other 45 districts, packs of sanitary napkins are to be sourced from women SHGs. Procurement of sanitary napkins in 45 districts from Women’s Self Help Groups has been fixed at Rs. 7.50 per pack of 6 sanitary napkins. Necessary provisions have been made by the States in their annual NRHM PIPs for this cost. In case States intend to procure from women SHGs at a higher rate than Rs. 7.50 per pack of 6 napkins, additional cost would be borne out of the state budget. III.e. Selling Price It has been decided that a pack of sanitary napkin will be sold by ASHA at a uniform selling price of Rs. 6/‐ per pack of 6 sanitary napkins for all adolescent girls covered under the scheme.

Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act
Continuous decline in child sex ratio since 1961 Census is a matter of concern for the country (Table I). Beginning from 976 in 1961 Census, it declined to 927 in 2001. As per Census 2011 (provisional) the Child Sex Ratio (0‐6 years) has dipped further to 914 against 927 girls per thousand boys recorded in 2001 Census. Child sex ratio has declined in 22 States and 5 UTs and except for the states of Himachal Pradesh (906), Punjab (846), Chandigarh (867), Haryana (830), Mizoram (971), Tamil Nadu (946), Andaman & Nicobar Islands (966) showing marginal improvement, rest of the 27 states/ UTs have shown decline. (Table II). States and UTs with child sex ratio of 951 and above has reduced from eighteen to nine in 2011. A declining trend in even North Eastern States (other than Mizoram) is also discernible.
The list of focus states for purposes of the PC&PNDT Act, 1994 has extended from 7 to 17 states (Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Orissa, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and J&K). In Haryana, Rewari (784), Jhajjar (774) and Mahendragarh (778) and Sonipat (790) indicate a Child Sex Ratio of below 800 in these districts. Similarly, Samba (787) and Jammu (795) district of J & K show a Child Sex Ratio of below 800.
This negative trend establishes the fact that the girl child is more at risk than ever before and the efforts till date have not been completely effective. The issue of survival of girl child is critical and needs systematic efforts to build a positive environment for the girl child through gender sensitive policies, provision and legislation to protect women against any gender based violence.
While changing the mind set and creating a favourable environment for girl child is the mandate of Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Health And Family Welfare is concerned with regulating and prohibiting the use of medical technology for selective elimination of the girl child.
Towards this end, the Pre‐natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act was enacted on September 20, 1994 and the Act was further amended in 2003. The main purpose of enacting the PC & PNDT (prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994 has been to:
i) Ban the use of sex selection techniques before or after conception ii) Prevent the misuse of pre‐natal diagnostic techniques for sex selective
abortions iii) Regulate such techniques
42
The PC & PNDT Act, 1994 prohibits sex selection before or after conception and misuse of pre‐natal diagnostic techniques for determination of the sex of the foetus as also advertisements in relation to such techniques for detection or determination of sex. The Act specifies punishments for violation of its provisions. The Act is implemented through the following agencies:
• Central Supervisory Board (CSB)
• State Supervisory Boards (SSBs) and Union Territory Supervisory Boards (UTSBs)
• Appropriate Authority for the whole or a part of the State/Union Territory
• State Advisory Committee (SAC) and Union Territory Advisory Committee (UTAC)
• Advisory Committees (AC) for designated areas (part of the State) attached to each Appropriate Authority.
• Appropriate Authorities at the District and Sub‐District levels
All places using pre‐conception and sex selection techniques/procedures and any place having equipment capable of detecting the sex of the foetus and those related to genetic counselling need to be registered, i.e:
• All Genetic Counselling Centres
• Genetic Laboratories
• Genetic Clinics
• Ultrasonography Centres
• Mobile Sonography Vans
• Imaging Centres
• Advanced versions of ultrasound machines
• Infertility Clinics and IVF Centres
• The unit as a whole, including the place, equipments and persons using the machine should be registered
• To qualify for registration, the applicant organization must fulfill the requirements of space, equipment, qualified employees and standards as specified in Rule 3 of the Act
• Any change of employee, place, equipment or address should be intimated to the AA within 30 days of such change as per Rule 13.
The punishments under the Act are as given below:
• Breach of any provision by the service provider: 3 years imprisonment and/or a fine of Rs. 10,000/‐; For any subsequent offence: 5 years imprisonment and/or fine of Rs. 50,000/‐ (Section 23 (1))
• Medical Professionals: AA will inform the State Medical Council and recommend suspension of the offender’s registration if charges are framed by the court and till
43
the case is disposed off; removal of name from the register for 5 years on 1st conviction and permanently in case of subsequent breach (Section 23 (2))
• Persons seeking to know the sex of the foetus (A woman will be presumed to have been compelled by her husband and relatives): Imprisonment extending up to 3 years and a fine of up to Rs. 50,000/‐; For subsequent offences: Imprisonment upto 5 years and or a fine of Rs. 1,00,000/‐ (Section 23 (3))
• Persons connected with advertisement of sex selection/sex determination services: Imprisonment up to 3 years and/or a fine of Rs. 10,000/‐ with additional fine of continuing contravention at the rate of Rs. 500/‐ per day (Section 22 (3))
• Advertisement for the purpose of Section 22 (3) includes any notice, circular, label, wrapper or any other document including advertisement through internet or any other media in electronic or print form and also includes visible representation made by means of any hoarding, wall painting, signal, light, sound, smoke, gas, etc
• Contravention of provisions of the PC & PNDT Act, 1994 for which no specific punishment is provided in the Act are punishable with imprisonment up to 3 months and/or fine of Rs. 1,000/‐ with additional fine of continuing contravention at the rate of Rs. 500/‐ per day (Section 25)
• Such contraventions can be presumed to be the non‐maintenance of records, non‐compliance with standards prescribed for the maintenance of units, etc
• The offences under the Act are cognizable, non‐bailable and non‐compoundable
As per the reports received from the States and UTs, 41,182 bodies using ultrasound, image scanners etc. have been registered under the Act. 409 ultrasound machines have been sealed and seized for violation of the law and 876 cases have been filed in the Courts for various violations of the law. A total of 55 convictions have been secured by Punjab (22), Haryana (23), Delhi (2), Chandigarh (1) and Gujarat(4). The concerned State governments are regularly requested to take effective measures for speedy prosecution of the ongoing cases (Table‐3).
While the regulatory framework has been in place for implementation by states, enforcement of the Pre‐conception & Pre‐natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994 has been lackadaisical in most states.
Following the publication of the 2011 Census figures, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has initiated the following steps for effective implementation of PC&PNDT Act:
1. Central Supervisory Board (CSB) under the Act has been reconstituted. The 17th meeting of the CSB was held on the 4th June, 2011. The board reviewed progress made by the States in respect of the implementation of the Act, suggested amendments in the Act and strategies to meet the challenges.
44
2. 17 states with the most skewed child sex ratio have been identified for concerted attention. A meeting of Health Secretaries of these States was convened on 20th April 2011. The efforts on their part to implement PC&PNDT Act were reviewed in depth and following action points highlighted :
Constitute/ reconstitute State supervisory board and conduct regular meetings
Constitute/ reconstitute appropriate authorities and advisory committees at state/ district and sub district levels
Constitute State Inspection and Monitoring Committees (SIMC) for checking the activities of ultrasound facilities indulging in advertisement and/or determination/revealing of the sex of the foetus.
Identify districts and map reasons for skewed Child Sex Ratio.
Conduct regular surveys, update registrations and renewals to avoid multiple registrations and irregularities including on call registrations and unrestrained use of portable machines.
Analysis and scrutiny of Form ‐F for effective monitoring and tracking of the Ultrasound clinics
Take immediate action against any breach of the provisions of the Act and Rules
Make ultrasound manufacturers accountable and get regular details of the sale of machines.
Submit regular quarterly progress report to the Central Supervisory Board.
Sensitize and Conduct training programme for law enforcers, medical practitioners, judiciary etc. for effective implementation of the Act.
Enhance in‐house capacities for building strong cases against offenders that can successfully withstand the legal scrutiny
Devise inter‐state coordination mechanism for regulating activities of USG clinics across borders.
3. National Inspection Monitoring Committees have been re‐constituted for regular state monitoring and surprise inspection of the clinics on the ground. Random inspections of ultrasound facilities were undertaken in the states of Gujarat,Uttar Pradesh & Rajasthan in January‐February, 2011.
4. States have been asked during appraisal of the annual Programme Implementation Plan (PIP) to take advantage of funding available under NRHM for strengthening
45
infrastructure and augmentation of human resources required for effective implementation of the PC&PNDT Act.
5. Operational guidelines for PNDT‐NGO Grant in Aid Scheme have been revised to ensure targeted use of resources for effective implementation of the Act.
6. Chief Secretaries in the states/ UTs have been addressed to take effective measures and regularly monitor implementation of the PNDT Act.
7. HFM has addressed the Chief Ministers of all states/ UT administration, exhorting them to provide personal leadership in containing the declining sex ratio in the 0‐6 year age group.
8. It is proposed to carry forward regular appraisal of effective implementation of the Act through zonal and state specific reviews. PC&PNDT will be high on the agenda in all future review meeting in Reproductive and Child Health issues.

E‐banking (NRHM Financial Management Information System) The Ministry has been working with various public sector banks that are lead banks in their respective states to develop an e‐banking MIS which would enable detailed reporting on fund management and fund utilisation up to sub district levels. The e‐transfer of funds to states using the services of the accredited bank of the Ministry is already in place since 2010. The e‐banking MIS builds upon the e‐transfers being effected to generate information and data on funds available and their manner of utilisation even at the lowest unit level which is the village/Sub Centre and Village Health and Sanitation Committees. The Ministry has worked with State Bank of India and NRHM, Karnataka to successfully pilot (in the two districts of Bangalore Rural and Yadgir and work underway in ten more districts), a web‐enabled MIS which contains information on all fund flows under the Mission including funds transferred through the Infrastructure Maintenance route. The e‐banking system developed includes modules for sanction order tagging, budget allocation and planning, expenditure tracking wherein third party payments including ASHA payments, activity head wise expenditure tracking, drill down information; beneficiary and non‐beneficiary expenditure are readily available at SHS and DHS and sub district levels. The e‐banking MIS can be used both in offline and online mode and with or without standard accounting software. Reports generated include Financial Management Reports, Statement of Fund Position, Aging of Advances, Querying options, Geographical Area/Budget head/Expenditure type‐wise and trending reports and there is a SHS and Government of India level dashboard available which would enable views across all districts and sub district level formations. System development Life cycle documents and User Manuals and a list of FAQs have been developed by NRHM‐Finance for use across states. Helpdesks have been created [email protected] and [email protected] and dedicated teams have been formed to assist in e‐banking roll out in states. The e‐banking (NFMIS) system is essentially a very powerful executive management financial tool which would enable states to manage the funds under NRHM better.

Revised National TB Control Programme
The Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP) is being implemented as a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme in the entire country. Under the programme, diagnosis and treatment facilities including the supply of anti TB drugs are provided free of cost to all TB patients. For quality diagnosis, designated microscopy centres have been established for every one lakh population in the plain areas and for every 50,000 population in the tribal, hilly and difficult areas. Sputum microscopy, instead of X‐ray, avoids over diagnosis and identifies infectious cases. More than 13000 microscopy centres have been established in the country. Drugs are provided to the TB patients in ‘patient wise boxes’ to ensure that all drugs for full course of treatment are earmarked on the day one, a patient is registered for treatment under the programme. More than 4,00,000 Treatment centres (DOT centres) have been established near to residence of patients to the extent possible. All government hospitals, Community Health Centres (CHC), Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Sub‐centres are DOT Centres, in addition to NGOs, Private Practitioners (involved under the RNTCP), Community Volunteers, Anganwadi workers, Women Self Help Groups etc. also function as Community DOT Providers/DOT Centres. Drugs are provided under direct observation and the patients are monitored so that they complete their treatment. The programme has launched DOTS Plus for the management of multi‐drug resistance tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) since 2007. Till date these services are available in 18 States. RNTCP is presently in the process of scaling up DOTS Plus services and aims to make these services available in all States by end 2011 while achieving complete geographical coverage by 2013. TB‐HIV collaborative activities are being implemented in collaboration with NACP to provide TB treatment and care and support for TB‐HIV patients. To further extend the reach of programme and involve non‐programme providers and community, RNTCP has already revised its guidelines for involvement of Non Programme management is notable for decentralized financial control, management, and supervision to State and District health systems, supported by a small number of supervisory staffs. RNTCP diagnostic and treatment services are wholly integrated within the general health system and medical colleges. Now RNTCP is an integral part of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). The Central level serves only for organizing and distributing financing for TB control activities within the NRHM, centralized drug procurement and distribution to States, development of comprehensive normative guidance, capacity building, and monitoring and evaluation of States and Districts programme management units.

Major Challenges of RNTCP: (1) Reaching the un‐reached is one of the important challenges as it necessitates innovative
strategies for ensuring universal access to TB diagnostic and treatment facilities. (2) Developing sputum collection & transport mechanism. (3) Diagnostic facilities for extra‐pulmonary TB cases are not been well established. (4) Reducing treatment default of patients put on treatment to prevent drug Resistant TB (5) Misuse of anti‐TB drugs. (6) Linking HIV‐infected TB patients to HIV care. (7) PPM though beneficial, remains a very small proportion relative to the large numbers of
private sector providers. (8) Urban areas still experience intense levels of TB transmission. (9) Despite the progress, TB incidence and mortality are still high, and an estimated 280,000
people died of TB in 2009. Please see annexure for summary of the New / Innovative approaches of RNTCP in 12th Five Year Plan

NATIONAL LEPROSY ERADICATION PROGRAMME
Thrust Areas of XII Five Year Plan under NLEP:
• Achieve elimination of Leprosy at district level(prevalence of less than 1 case per 10,000 population)
• Strengthen Disability Prevention & Medical Rehabilitation of Leprosy Affected Persons
Background:
• The National Leprosy Control Programme was launched by the Govt. of India in 1955. Multi Drug Therapy came into wide use from 1982 and the National Leprosy Eradication Programme was introduced in 1983. Since then, remarkable progress has been achieved in reducing the disease burden. India achieved the goal of elimination of leprosy as a public health problem, defined as less than 1 case per 10,000 population, at the National level in the month of December 2005 as set by the National Health Policy, 2002. The National Leprosy Eradication Programme is 100% centrally sponsored scheme. MDT is supplied free of cost by WHO.
• Following are the programme components –
(i) Decentralized integrated leprosy services through General Health Care System. (ii) Training in leprosy to all General Health Services functionaries. (iii) Intensified Information, Education & Communication (IEC). (iv) Renewed emphasis on Prevention of Disability and Medical Rehabilitation & (v) Monitoring and supervision.
Epidemiological Situation:
• 32 states/UTs have achieved leprosy elimination status. Only 3 States/UT viz. Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Dadra & Nagar Haveli are yet to achieve elimination. Further, out of 640 districts, 530 (82.81%) have also achieved elimination level (Annexure‐I).
• At the end of March 2011, there were 83041 leprosy cases on record (under treatment).
• In 2010‐11, total 1,26,800 new leprosy cases were detected and put under treatment as compared to 1,33,717 leprosy cases detected during corresponding period of previous year giving Annual New Case Detection Rate (ANCDR) of 10.4 per 1,00,000 population.
• Among the new cases detected in 2010‐11, the proportions were‐ MB cases (48.58%) female (36.20%), children (9.83%) and grade II disability (3.10%).
54
• Out of 1,45,082 leprosy cases discharged during the year, 1,32,105 cases (91.06%) were released as cured after completing treatment.
• 2570 reconstructive surgeries were conducted in 2010‐11 for correction of disability in leprosy affected persons (Annexure‐II).
• Out of 2,44,796 global leprosy cases reported in 2009, 1,33,717 cases were reported by India. Thus India contributed about 54.6% of new cases detected globally in 2009, and this trend is likely to continue for some more years. The declining trend of Prevalence and Annual New Case Detection Rate per 10,000 population since 1991‐1992 is shown in the Graph below:
Activities under NLEP:
• Diagnosis and treatment of leprosy‐ Services for diagnosis and treatment (Multi drug therapy) are provided by all primary health centres and govt. dispensaries throughout the country free of cost. Difficult to diagnose and complicated cases and cases requiring reconstructive surgery are referred to district hospital for further management. ASHAs under NRHM are being involved to bring out leprosy cases from villages for diagnosis at PHC and follow up cases for treatment completion. ASHAs are being paid incentive for this activity from the programme budget.
• Training‐ Training of general health staff like medical officer, health workers, health supervisors, laboratory technicians and ASHAs are conducted every year to develop adequate skill in diagnosis and management of leprosy cases. As per the information received from the States/UTs, health functionaries trained in 2009‐10.
• Urban leprosy control‐ To address the complex problems in urban areas, the Urban Leprosy control activities are being implemented in 422 urban areas having population

size of more than 1 lakh. These activities include MDT delivery services & follow up of patient for treatment completion, providing supportive medicines & dressing material and monitoring & supervision.
• IEC‐ Intensive IEC activities are conducted for awareness generation and particularly reduction of stigma and discrimination against leprosy affected persons. These activities are carried through mass media, outdoor media, rural media and advocacy meetings. More focus is given on inter personnel communication. Intensive IEC Campaign with a theme ‘Towards Leprosy Free India’ is being carried out towards further reduction of leprosy burden in the community, early reporting of cases & their treatment completion, provision of quality leprosy services and reduction of stigma & discrimination against leprosy affected persons. Mass media campaign during the period October, 2010 and January‐February 2011, was carried out through the Prasar Bharti to spread awareness about leprosy in the General Public.
• NGO services under SET scheme‐ Presently, 39 NGOs are getting grants from Govt. of India under Survey, Education and Treatment (SET) scheme. The various activities undertaken by the NGOs are, IEC, Prevention of Impairments and Deformities, Case Detection and MDT Delivery. From financial year 2006 onwards, Grant‐in‐aid is being disbursed to NGO through State Health (Leprosy) Societies.
• Disability Prevention and Medical Rehabilitation –For prevention of disability among persons with insensitive hands
and feet, they are given dressing material, supportive medicines and micro‐cellular rubber (MCR) footwear. The patients are also empowered with self care procedure for taking care of themselves.
• More emphasis is being given on correction of disability in leprosy affected persons through reconstructive surgery (RCS). To strengthen RCS services, GOI has recognized 85 institutions for conducting RCS based on the recommendations of the state government. Out of these, 44 are Govt. institutions and 41 are NGO institutions (Annexure‐III).
• Supervision and Monitoring –Programme is being monitored at different level through analysis of monthly progress reports, through field visits by the supervisory officers and programme review meetings held at central, state and district level. For better epidemiological analysis of the disease situation, emphasis is given to assessment of New Case Detection and Treatment Completion Rate and proportion of grade II disability among new cases. Independent Programme Evaluation was carried out during the year 2010 through an independent agency.
56
Initiatives:
• Disability Prevention and Medical Rehabilitation‐ An amount of Rs. 5000/‐ is provided as incentive to leprosy affected persons from BPL family for undergoing per major reconstructive surgery in identified govt./NGO institutions to compensate loss of wages during their stay in hospital. Support is also provided to Government institutions in the form of Rs. 5000/‐ per RCS conducted, for procurement of supply & material and other ancillary expenditure required for the surgery.
• Involvement of ASHA– A scheme to involve ASHAs was drawn up to bring out leprosy cases from their villages for diagnosis at PHC and follow up cases for treatment completion. To facilitate the involvement of ASHA, they are being paid an incentive as below‐
(i) On confirmed diagnosis of case brought by them – Rs. 100/‐
(ii) On completion of full course of treatment of the case within specified time‐ PB leprosy case – Rs. 200/‐ and MB Leprosy case – Rs. 400/‐
• 62528 ASHAs have been trained in leprosy and involved in leprosy work (Annexure‐III). Incentive is also being paid to ASHAs for diagnosis & follow up of the cases.
• Discriminatory laws relating to leprosy– There are certain provisions under laws / acts which are discriminatory in nature against leprosy affected persons. The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has taken up the matter with concerned Ministries/Departments/State Governments for their consideration and action on various such discriminatory acts/laws. These Acts and Laws are being modified or repealed, which will help the persons affected by leprosy live a dignified life.
• Special Activity in High Endemic Distt.‐ 209 Districts had reported ANCDR (Annual New Case Detection Rate) more than 10 per lakh population. Special activity for early detection and complete treatment, Capacity building and extensive IEC, Adequate availability of MDT, Strengthening of distt. nucleus, Regular monitoring & supervision and review, Regular follow up for neuritis and reaction, Self care practices, Supply of MCR footwear in adequate quantity and Improvement in RCS performance through camp approach are being planned in the above districts to reduce the disease burden.
National Sample Survey
(i) The 131st report of the Committee on Petitions of Rajya Sabha, 2008, recommended that “the final survey, involving Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI) may be undertaken, so that the Government can have realistic figures of Leprosy Affected Persons (LAPs) to devise a national policy. In reply, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare informed the Committee that a multi – centric study to assess the burden of active leprosy cases,
57
leprosy persons with grade ‐ I & II disability and the magnitude of stigma & discrimination prevalent in the society, will be carried out.
(ii) The house to house survey was started in States/UTs as below, which was preceded by Training of the survey team members and IEC campaign in the concerned Block and Urban areas.
(iii) Six States/UTs viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Manipur, Sikkim and D&N Haveli started in May 2010 and have completed the survey.

• Expeditious release of funds from State NRHM to district health societies • Regular monitoring of monthly/ Quarterly SOEs • Efficient and logistic supply chain management
2. Kala‐azar:: State Specific Issues Bihar:
• Dedicated State Programme Manager.
• Delay in Appointment of VBS Consultants and KTS under WB Project (still 9 posts of VBD Consultants and 43 KTS vacant).
• Non‐Payment of salaries to VBD Consultants in many districts.
• Capacity building in the districts by filling keys posts of DMOs, Malaria Inspectors, MPHWs, and Technicians etc.
• To follow uniform Standard Treatment guidelines in the State.
• Payment of loss of wages to the patients @ Rs 50 per day.
• Non‐payment of Incentive to ASHA/Health worker @ Rs.200/‐ to refer a case and ensure complete treatment.
• Poor quality of Indoor residual spray with DDT 50%. • Lack of monitoring and supervision.
• Case search not done during 2009 & 2010. • 919 sanctioned post of MPHWs have not been filled up for kala‐azar and other VBDs. Jhakhand
• Poor treatment Compliance.
• No follow up mechanism.
• IRS not well planed and organized. • Lack of monitoring and supervision.
• Proper treatment guidelines
• Case search activities not carried out during 2010 & 2011.
West Bengal:
• 60 posts of KTS and 5 posts of VBD Consultants have not been filled up. • IRS activities delayed and not done with proper planning. • Inadequate supervision and monitoring.
60
• Case search programme not well planned.
• Proper treatment guidelines to be followed.
3. Lymphatic Filariasis
• Elimination of Lymphatic filariasis in country by the year 2015
• Improve drug compliance by intensive IEC/BCC activity and social mobilization.
• Identifying LF endemic districts with microfilaria rate less than 1% for MDA stoppage.
• Augmenting morbidity management to increase programme visibility.
4. Dengue and Chikungunya
Discussions on implementation of Mid Term Plan: Committee of Secretaries (CoS) in a meeting held on 26.05.11 under the Chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary approved Mid Term Plan for prevention and control of Dengue and Chikungunya in the country. States need to focus on the issues as under for effective implementation of Mid Term Plan.
• Functioning of diagnostic facilities To augment diagnostic facilities for Dengue and Chikungunya, states have identified 311 health facilities in 2011 (182 existing +129 new) across the country to function as diagnostic centre.
Though the number of diagnostic centres has increased over the year their functioning had been a great concern for NVBDCP. Except Goa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu monthly reports are not received from other states.
• Vector surveillance and Management In absence of any drug or vaccine against Dengue and Chikungunya infection, vector control is the main stay to prevent transmission. Effective mosquito control primarily based on source reduction is virtually nonexistent in most of the Dengue‐Chikungunya endemic states/towns. Due to vector bionomics, adult vector control is not feasible. Larval control needs constant and concurrent monitoring of the vector breeding. Emphasis has been placed on ultra‐low volume (ULV) insecticide space sprays for control of adult mosquito though it is relatively not very effective approach for controlling Aedes vector.
An effective source reduction programme involving community volunteers for Urban and Rural areas needs to be implemented by each state.
• Monitoring and evaluation
61
Most of states have no staff or resources to implement the strategies for Dengue/Chikungunya prevention and control during inter‐epidemic period. The same need to be put in place.
Entomological component is totally absent in most of the States/Municipalities and in some states/towns very weak or poor. Out of 72 Entomological Zones, only 35 zones have Entomologists in place. Similarly, out of 35 state entomologists only 10 are in position. Wherever present they do not have the facilities like mobility support or other logistics to carry out entomological surveillance. Due to improper monitoring and evaluation programme implementation is adversely affected at State and district level for which early warning signals are not captured on time.
All the states should ensure strengthening of entomological surveillance by filling up all the vacant post of State Entomologist, Zonal Entomologist, Insect Collector and mobility support.
• Enactment of Legislation
Dengue needs to be added in the list of diseases that require mandatory notification in each state. It is envisaged to develop civic byelaws by each state to prevent mosquitogenic conditions in households/premises, building byelaws for health impact assessment in all development projects and building construction activities having inbuilt provisions of mosquito breeding free premises covering all aspects of environmental sanitation in order to effectively prevent breeding of Dengue and Chikungunya vector.
Though a few municipalities in the country, namely Mumbai Municipal Corporation, New Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Municipal Corporation Delhi, Chandigarh, Chennai, Goa have adopted legislation for the prevention of “nuisance mosquitoes”, they lack its implementation at the ground level.
• Sustaining Social mobilization
As most transmission occurs at home, therefore, ultimate success of the programme will depend on community participation and co‐operation.
Considerable efforts should be placed on community education through advocacy and social mobilization. Emphasis should be given on inter personal communication, group discussion etc.
• Inter‐sectoral coordination
The strategy of Dengue and Chikungunya mainly focuses on inter sectoral convergence with other National Health Programmes, non‐health sector departments, civil society organizations. Following the instructions of CoS already Ministries of Urban Development, Rural Development and Panchyati Raj have issued instructions to their counterparts in the
62
states for implementation of guidelines to prevent mosquitogenic conditions and community sensitization.
• Ministry of Urban Development vide letter No. A‐46020/130/2010‐Coord/PHE dated 5th January, 2011 issued the guidelines to Principal Secretaries in‐charge of UD/WS/Sanitation of all State Government.
• Ministry of Panchyati Raj vide its letter No. A‐44021/7/2011‐Estt. dated 23rd May, 2011 issued the guidelines to Chief Secretaries of all State.
• Ministry of Rural Development has also issued the guidelines (confirmed telephonically) copy to be received.
All the states should ensure implementation of these guidelines will focused monitoring and co‐ordination with State Health Authorities under the supervision of Principal Secretaries/Health Secretaries.
5. Japanese Encephalitis (JE)
JE Vaccination has been integrated with Universal Immunisation Programme of GOI wherein the new cohorts are administered single dose of JE vaccine along with booster dose of DPT between 18‐24 months of age under Routine Immunisation. However implementation under Routine Immunisation is lacking in the states. States need to take up the issue on priority. Special attention is required in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
The facilities at district and sub‐district hospitals need strengthening for cases management of encephalitis cases.
Medical rehabilitation of the disabled cases following acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) need to be taken up at medical colleges and district hospitals, wherever possible by making linkages with social welfare department.
63
Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP)
Background
Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP) was launched with World Bank assistance in November 2004 to detect and respond to early warning signals of disease outbreaks and to initiate an effective response in a timely manner. The project has been extended for two years up to March 2012 but the World Bank is funding Central Surveillance Unit (CSU) at NCDC & 9 identified states and the remaining 26 states/UTs are being funded from domestic budget.
Objectives
To strengthen disease surveillance in the country by establishing a decentralized state based surveillance system for epidemic prone diseases To detect the early warning signals and respond to outbreaks at the earliest, at all levels Project Components
i. Integration and decentralization of surveillance activities through establishment of surveillance units at district (DSU), state (SSU) and central level (CSU).
ii. Human Resource Development – Training of State Surveillance Officers (SSOs), District Surveillance Officers (DSOs), Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) and other medical and paramedical staff.
iii. Use of Information Communication Technology for collection, collation, compilation, analysis and dissemination of data.
iv. Strengthening of public health laboratories.
Achievements
i. Surveillance units have been established at all State and District Headquarters (SSUs, DSUs). Central Surveillance Unit (CSU) is established and integrated in the National Centre for Disease Control (Formerly National Institute of Communicable Diseases), Delhi.
ii. Training of State/District Surveillance Teams (Training of Trainers) has been completed for 34 States/UTs and partially completed for Uttar Pradesh.
iii. IT network has been established to connect all States/District HQ and premier institutes in the country for data entry, training, video conferencing and outbreak discussion. So far, IT equipment has been established at 776 out of 800 sites. AMC of
64
IT equipment provided by NIC has been decentralized. Similarly, broadband connectivity has also been decentralized.
iv. A portal under IDSP has been established for data entry and analysis, to report outbreaks, and to download reports, training modules and other material related to disease surveillance (www.idsp.nic.in).
v. Presently, 85% districts in the country report weekly, surveillance data through e‐mail and more than 67 % districts report through portal. The weekly data gives information on disease trends and seasonality of diseases. Whenever there is rising trend of illnesses in any area, it is investigated by the Rapid Response Team to diagnose and control the outbreak. Data analysis and actions are being undertaken by respective State/District Surveillance Units.
vi. On an average, 20 outbreaks are reported every week by the States to CSU. A total of 553 outbreaks were reported and responded to by states in 2008, 799 outbreaks in 2009 and 990 outbreaks in 2010. In 2011, 657 outbreaks have been reported in 2011 till 19 June. Earlier only a few outbreaks were reported in the country by the States/UTs. This is an important public health achievement. Majority of the reported outbreaks were of acute diarrhoeal diseases, food poisoning, measles, etc.
vii. Media scanning and verification cell was established under IDSP in July 2008. It detects and shares media alerts with the concerned states/districts for verification and response. A total of 1441 media alerts were reported from July 2008 to May 2011. Majority of alerts in 2010 were related to diarrhoeal and vector borne diseases.
viii. A 24X7 call centre was established in February 2008 to receive disease alerts across the country on a Toll Free telephone number (1075). The information received is provided to the States/Districts surveillance Units through e‐mail and telephone for investigation and response. The call centre was extensively used during 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and dengue outbreak in Delhi in 2010. About 2.33 lakh calls have been received from beginning till May 2011, out of which about 35000 calls were related to Influenza A H1N1.
ix. 50 identified district laboratories are being strengthened in the country for diagnosis of epidemic prone diseases. These labs are also being supported by a contractual microbiologist to manage the lab and an annual grant of Rs 2 lakh per annum per lab
65
for reagents and consumables. Till date 18 States i.e. 28 labs have completed the process of procurement.
x. In 9 World Bank funded States, a referral laboratory network is being established by utilizing the existing 65 functional labs in the medical colleges and various other major centres in the States and linking them with adjoining districts for providing diagnostic services for epidemic prone diseases during outbreaks. The network is functional in 7 states (not in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal). Based on the experience gained, the plan will be implemented in the remaining 26 States/UTs.
xi. 10 Labs have been strengthened and made functional under IDSP for Avian/H1N1 influenza surveillance; funds given to 2 more labs to make them functional (Total 12 labs).
xii. Recruitment of contractual manpower under IDSP has been totally decentralized in May 2010 so that the State Health Societies recruit them at the earliest. About 295 Epidemiologists, 51 Microbiologists and 22 Entomologists have joined in States/Districts till now. States have been requested to expedite filling up the remaining contractual positions.
Way Forward
• Low Priority is given to public health/disease surveillance by many states. State Health Secretaries, MD (NRHM), DHS should monitor IDSP regularly and frequently to improve its implementation.
• Dedicated State/district surveillance officers are not in position in most states. Either a dedicated officer should be responsible for surveillance activities, or it should be the primary duty of designated officer.
• Key human resources (Epidemiologists, Entomologists, and Microbiologists) need to be recruited to improve the programme. Recruitment of all contractual positions under IDSP has been already decentralized.
• There is a need to involve Medical Colleges in all activities of IDSP. Each Medical College may be given responsibility of 2‐3 districts to improve disease surveillance and response activity.
• Currently weekly disease surveillance data are collected in most states from primary health care units and indoor wards of secondary and tertiary care facilities. OPD data are usually not collected from major hospitals. Collection of OPD data from all major hospitals and medical college hospitals is important to improve the programme.
66
• All districts should report through portal for better data analysis. Some districts which have not filled‐up master data in the portal need to do it quickly.
• Although increasing number of outbreaks are being reported and responded to by the states, not all states are reporting about outbreaks every week. It should be done, even when there is “Nil” report. Clinical samples should be collected and sent to labs during all outbreaks to improve quality of outbreak investigation.
• 50 identified district public health labs are being strengthened under IDSP. Only 28 labs have completed procurement and only 14 labs are functional. All states should complete the procurement of equipment and recruitment of microbiologist to make these labs functional. Some states are also strengthening district public health labs under NRHM. Once these labs also become functional, they should start reporting data under IDSP.
• Referral lab network has become functional in 7/9 World Bank funded states. Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal should also complete all activities to make referral lab network functional.

National Programme for Prevention and Control of deafness
Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans today. As per WHO estimates in India, there are approximately 63 million people, who are suffering from Significant Auditory Impairment; this places the estimated prevalence at 6.3% in Indian population. As per NSSO survey, currently there are 291 persons per one lakh population who are suffering from severe to profound hearing loss (NSSO, 2001). Of these, a large percentage is children between the ages of 0 to 14 years. With such a large number of hearing impaired young Indians, it amounts to a severe loss of productivity, both physical and economic. An even larger percentage of our population suffers from milder degrees of hearing loss and unilateral (one sided) hearing loss. 1. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME
1. To prevent the avoidable hearing loss on account of disease or injury. 2. Early identification, diagnosis and treatment of ear problems responsible for hearing
loss and deafness. 3. To medically rehabilitate persons of all age groups, suffering with deafness. 4. To strengthen the existing inter‐sectoral linkages for continuity of the rehabilitation
programme, for persons with deafness. 5. To develop institutional capacity for ear care services by providing support for
equipment and material and training personnel. 2 Components of the Programme:
A. Manpower Training & Development B. Capacity Building C. Service Provision Including Rehabilitation D. Awareness Generation Through IEC Activities E. Monitoring And Evaluation
3 Activity wise progress of NPPCD I. Training. a. Pilot phase commenced 50% trainings of the pre‐set targets (ie‐ in the 25 districts)
which was undertook by RCI. In the expansion phase the responsibility of training was transferred to the states, for which funds were provided to the state health societies.
74
b. The states of Uttarakhand, Karnataka and Gujarat initiated the training up to level 4 (i.e. Medical Officers). Beyond level 4 only the state of Assam, Uttarakhand and Andhra Pradesh organized some training in the districts.
II. Screening camps a. States namely Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Chandigarh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand and
Andhra Pradesh have conducted screening camps under the Programme. Screening camps have not been organised by other states.
III. Procurement of Equipment a. States namely Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Assam have
procured the equipments specified within the Programme but other states have not procurement due to problems in procedural formalities at state level.
IV. Recruitment on manpower a. Under the Programme Audiometric Assistant (AA) and Instructor for Speech
& Hearing Impaired (IHS) are to be recruited on contractual basis in the implementing districts. However only 40 AAs and 4 IHS have been recruited so far. Recruitment is low due to non availability of local candidates and less honorarium.
V. Hearing Aids a. Under the programme 2459 hearing aids were distributed in the 22 pilot
districts of the programme. The state of Uttar Pradesh and Manipur could not distribute the Hearing aids under the programme.
VI. Awareness campaign a. IEC material in form of posters / pamphlets has been distributed to the states
for further dissemination. Mass Media campaigns have been carried out in different regional languages.
b. National Institute of Health & Family Welfare, New Delhi (NIHFW) conducted the “Impact assessment of the IEC campaign done for NPPCD” in 4 states (Tamilnadu, Gujarat, Assam and Uttarakhand) where in it was observed that awareness generation was not satisfactory due to low impact of TV and radio media. Significant factors in this are the short duration of awareness campaign and low frequency of telecasting of the spots on the TV and Radio.

• Pilot phase of the NTCP launched in 20070‐8 in 9 states covering 18 districts. The programme up‐scaled to cover 12 new states and 24 new districts. Currently NTCP is under implementation in 42 districts covering 21 states.
• The total financial outlay for NTCP approved in the XI Plan was Rs. 182 crore.
• Training modules developed for doctors, teachers and health workers/ ASHA on tobacco control.
• Guidelines for Tobacco Free Educational Institutions developed and adopted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The CBSE has circulated these guidelines to all CBSE affiliated schools to implement the same.
• GATS India 2010 was carried out in India for monitoring adult tobacco use (smoking & smokeless) and tracking key tobacco control indicators.
• Toll free helpline to report violations 1800110456 established.
• National guidelines on tobacco dependence treatment developed.
77
• Various anti‐tobacco IEC materials has been developed and disseminated widely through radio, TV for increasing public awareness on the risks of tobacco. A sustained media campaign has been initiated after dedicated funds were allocated under NTCP.
• Pilot project on alternative cropping system to tobacco growing initiated with support of Central Tobacco Research Institute (CTRI) in five agro‐ecological zones of the country.
• Interministerial Task Force set up at national level with representation from Stakeholders Ministries and representatives from larger States, Civil Society Organizations. Two meetings have been organised till date.

Similar Monitoring Committees formed at State/District level. [Prohibition of direct and indirect advertisement of cigarette and other tobacco products (section 5)]
• A network of 18Tobacco Cessation Centers has been set up across the country. The role of TCC has now been expanded and now they have become Resource Centre Tobacco Control (RCTC) and prove technical support for creation of TCC at sub‐national level. These centres are also using community based approaches to enhance awareness about the ill effects of tobacco use and provide tobacco cessation facilities.
• Process initiated for setting up tobacco product testing labs for testing of contents and emissions.
• New stronger pictorial health warnings have been notified for implementation from 1st December, 2011.
• India is the key facilitator for development of guidelines under the Articles 17‐18 of the WHO‐FCTC.
Achievements with WHO‐BI Partnership
• Manpower resources provided to assist focal points at national level (National Tobacco Control Cell) and at state level through the state level consultant at 12 State Tobacco Control Cells: (Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Maharashtra, Tripura, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh), Support for additional states ‐ Rajasthan and Karnataka .
• National and Regional level advocacy workshops organized at Delhi, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Goa on tobacco control laws and related issues. These workshops sensitized over 2000 law enforcers / stakeholders from different departments (Agriculture, Customs, Labor, Education, Forest, Tribal, Health, Transport,
78
Railways, Police, Judiciary etc.) on the need and their role in implementation of tobacco control laws and other measures.
• In 2011, state level advocacy workshops have been organized in the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Tripura More state level advocacy workshops planned in 2011 in Maharashtra, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Haryana.
• 11 State level Advocacy Workshops at Kerala, Assam, Karnataka, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh organized to sensitize key state level stakeholders on tobacco control laws and related issues.
• National consultation on smokeless tobacco organized in April, 2011 to discuss prevention strategies and build coalition to combat the usage of chewing tobacco and its impact on health
Expectation from the State Government Recruitment of Staff: States like Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, and West Bengal where the NTCP was launched in 2007‐08 are yet to recruit staff at the district cells. Implementation of the various components of NTCP Utilisation of the budget: The components of the programme at district level including cessation services have not been implemented in most of the states. The utilisation of the budget has been unsatisfactory in states where even the staff has been recruited. COTPA mechanism: In order to implement the various provisions under COTPA a state level enforcement mechanism needs to be put in place, which includes opening separate head of account, printing of challan books and constituting a raiding mechanism etc. Since COTPA implementation lie in the responsibility of health ministry it should print the challan etc. All the states need to notify state /dist level monitoring committee for section ‐5 Training and awareness: since tobacco is a risk factor for many NCD’s, the spots developed by MoHFW should become an integral component of the IEC campaign under NRHM. Timely submission of activity reports and UC’s is a matter of great concern due to which the funds have not been released is a sustained manner.

National Mental Health Programme
At the time of independence, the existing mental health infrastructure and specialist manpower was very meagre. There were only 10,000 psychiatric beds in India in 1947 for a population of over 300 million, with that of UK, with one tenth the population of India having over 1,50,000 psychiatric beds. The first two decades of Independent India were devoted to doubling the mental hospital beds followed by setting up of general hospital psychiatric beds. In the 1980’s the Government of India felt the necessity of evolving a plan of action at mental health. Subsequently, National Mental Health Programme was launched in the country in 1982 with the following objectives:
1. To ensure the availability and accessibility of minimum mental healthcare for all in the foreseeable future, particularly to the most vulnerable and underprivileged sections of the population;
2. To encourage the application of mental health knowledge in general healthcare and
in social development; and
3. To promote community participation in the mental health service development and to stimulate efforts towards self‐help in the community.
In 11th FYP NMHP has four approved schemes mentioned below to provide mental health treatment available at district level, strengthening the infrastructure of psychiatry at state level and production of mental health professionals.
1. Manpower Development Schemes In order to improve the training infrastructure in mental health, Government of India has approved the Manpower Development Components of NMHP for 11th Five Year Plan. It has two schemes given below.
1.1 Centres of Excellence Under Manpower Development Component at least 11 Centres of Excellence in mental health were to be established in the 11th plan period by upgrading existing mental health institutions/medical colleges. A grant of upto 30 crore is available under the scheme. The support includes capital work (academic block, library, hostel, lab, supportive departments, lecture theatres etc.), equipments and furnishing, support for faculty induction and retention for the plan period. Achievement and Expenditure: 10 Centres of Excellence have been established and one is in process. A total of Rs. 87,64,00,000/‐ has been released under the scheme. A sum of Rs.
80
14,07,79,608/‐ has been spent till 8th April, 2011. The status & expenditure report is enclosed at annexure – 1.
1.2 Setting Up/ Strengthening PG Training Departments of Mental Health Specialities To provide an impetus for development of Manpower in Mental Health other training centers (Government Medical Colleges/ Government General Hospitals/ State run Mental Health Institutes) would also be supported for starting PG courses in Mental Health or increasing the intake capacity for PG training in Mental Health. Support would be provided for setting up/strengthening 30 units of Psychiatry, 30 departments of Clinical Psychology, 30 departments of Psychiatry Social Work and 30 departments of Psychiatric Nursing with the support of upto Rs. 51 lacs to Rs. 1 crore per PG department. Achievement and Expenditure: A total of 23 departments (7 Psychiatry, 5 Clinical Psychology, 5 Psychiatric Social Work, 6 Psychiatric Nursing) of different specialties of mental health have been supported and a total of Rs. 8,46,96,000/‐ has been released to under the scheme. Rs. 1,44,85,065/‐ has been spent (till 8th April 2011). The status & expenditure report is enclosed at annexure – 2.
10 more departments (4 Clinical Psychology, 2 Psychiatric Social Work and 4 Psychiatric Nursing) have been recommended by the Standing Committee on NMHP.
2. District Mental Health Programme (DMHP)
The DMHP forms the mental health intervention at district level. Starting with the DMHP of Bellary in 1990’s currently 123 districts are covered under this program. The central objective of the programme is early detection and treatment of mentally ill persons within the community by providing basic sustainable mental health services to the community and to reduce the stigma attached towards the mental illness. Achievement and Expenditure: DMHP is being run in 123 districts of the country. Out of 123, status of 116 is available. 73 districts of DMHP are having the services of a Psychiatrist/trained medical officer. OPD services are being provided at 70 districts of DMHP at district level at out of these 70 districts 24 districts are conducting OPDs at Primary Health Care level. In Patient Department services are available at 53 districts with 10 beds capacity. Though there is no budget provision of Mental Health Helpline and Mental Health Services in Schools/Colleges under DMHP, still 10 (8.62%) districts have the need based mental health helpline services and 43 out of 116 districts are running need/situation based mental health services in school/colleges. Reportedly 66 districts have trained medical officers, 61 have trained para‐medical staff and 48 districts to the members of Panchayati Raj Institutions, NGOS, school teachers and family members etc. out of 116 districts 67 DMHP districts are conducting IEC activities to generate awareness and reduce stigma related to mental illness.

Drugs & Regulatory Issues
83
Drugs and Regulatory Issues
1. The last two decades have witnessed an exponential growth in the pharmaceutical industry in the country. The total value of production of drugs and pharmaceuticals in the country is estimated to be over rupees one lakh crores. The industry has consistently been recording a growth rate of 14‐15%. India is the third largest producer of pharmaceuticals in the world in terms of volume and 12th largest in terms of value. Indian pharmaceutical products are exported to almost all the countries of the world. The total exports from India for the year 2009‐10 were rupees forty two thousand crores (approx). Indian pharmaceutical products, world‐wide are known to be affordable, safe and efficacious. Indian generic drugs have helped in bringing down the cost of treatment of various diseases world‐wide which includes HIV/AIDS.
2. With the growth of the industry it is important that regulatory machinery should ensure that the drugs available in the country are not only of good quality but also safe and efficacious. Regulation of the pharma sector necessitates technical capabilities and is also depends upon the equipments used for testing.
3. The Central Government has taken several steps to strengthen the Central Drugs Standards Controls Organisation (CDSCO) in terms of man power and equipments. The CDSCO has been strengthened by induction of additional man power from the level of Assistant Drug Controller to Drug Inspectors. Additional man power has also been provided for handling technical and administrative issues. Several steps have been taken to strengthen the Central Drug Testing Laboratories (CDTLs) by induction of man power, capacity building of existing man power and sophisticated equipments for testing of drug samples. New zones and sub‐zones have been created for better administration.
4. Dr. R.A. Mashelkar Committee set up in the year 2003, recommended amendments in the Drugs & Cosmetics Act to address the problem of spurious and sub‐standard drugs and also recommended creation of new structure for better drug regulation in the country. The Committee recommended that there is a need for one Drug Inspector for every 50 manufacturing units and one for every 200 sale units. Going by the rough estimates of such units, there would be requirement of 3200 Drug Inspectors in the country whereas the available number is only 900. There is thus, a strong need to recruit more Drug Inspectors in the country.
5. At present, there are six Drug Testing Laboratories in the country. It is proposed to add another 8 testing labs in the coming 12th Five Year Plan. It is also proposed to create 12 mini‐labs at the Port Offices (Air and Sea ports).
6. For effective regulation of the drugs and pharmaceutical products, it is important to have adequate testing capabilities. For the last few years, the number samples tested
84
across the country, varies between 38000‐40000 samples. There is need to increase the number of samples tested substantially. States would therefore be required not only to recruit man power but also to set up new drug testing labs and to upgrade the existing ones. It is also important that once the drug samples fail quality and safety standards, prosecutions are launched and culprits are booked quickly. There is need to set up Special Courts to try prosecution cases under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act 1940. Around 220 States have already designated Special Courts for such trails while then others are in the process of notifying such Courts.
7. MOHFW has also taken several steps to increase the access and affordability of drugs in the country. As per WHO estimates, India has the highest out‐of‐pocket expenditure. Large part of out‐of‐pocket expenditure is on the purchase of drugs. The rise in the incidences of out‐of‐pocket expenditure on drugs is one of the key challenges to provide universal health coverage and makes large section of the poor, most vulnerable to high cost of drugs. Several steps need to be taken to address this issue. The Department Of Pharmaceutical under the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilisers, has initiated Jan Aushidhi Stores (JAS) Scheme for selling generic drugs to the common man. At present there are 102 JAS across the country. There is an urgent need to scale‐up JAS and have at least one such store in each district preferably located in the District hospital. It is also important that doctors in the public health system prescribe generic medicines which are as safe and effective as its branded counter‐part and also substantially cheaper.
8. There is also great merit in making bulk purchase of drugs through a specialised agency. This is not only ensures better quality but also reduces the prices. States may like to examine the Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation model set up by the Govt. of Tamil Nadu for the purchase of drugs for public health programmes.
9. While promoting the generic drugs, it is important that a rational Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) are weeded out from the market. This not only enhances the price of the drug but also leads to several other health consequences including drug resistance. While granting licenses for manufacture of FDCs, State Drug Regulators must be very careful regarding efficacy of such drugs.
10. The states were requested to prepare action plans for opening of Jan Aushidhi Stores and promotion of generic drugs to the Ministry. This was to be sent by May 2011. Till date, no state has submitted its action plan. States may expeditiously prepare their plans and submit the same to the Ministry

Marketing of contraceptives up to the door step through ASHA
• Supplies of contraceptives generally do not reach on time to actual users and unmet need for spacing is very high
• Generally people do not go to government facility to get contraceptives because of lack of privacy & confidentiality
• Contraceptives are distributed free of cost and hence not much value is attached to it
ASHAs could deliver contraceptives at door steps and allowed to charge a nominal amount for contraceptives (Re 1/‐ for a pack of 3 condoms and OCPs and Re 2/‐ for ECPs).
Scheme is expected to be launched on July 11, 2011
