Haryana: Health, infrastructure and policies

Haryana is committed to provide quality health services and raise the health status of its people. National Rural Health Mission has been introduced in Haryana with a view to bring about improvement in the health status of people especially of those who live in rural areas of the country. The state of Haryana is steadily progressing towards attaining the goals and objectives shared under NRHM, National Population Policy and Millennium Development Goals. Haryana compares favourably with the rest of India in terms of health indicators and over time, indicators have improved sharply compared to other states. The per capita government expenditure on health in Haryana has been showing a rising trend over last few years. It has increased from Rs.166.83 in 2000 to Rs.734.00 in 2013. This has contributed significantly to the health and wellness of people in the state. Thus, the crude birth rate, crude death rate, and infant mortality rate are declining in Haryana over years. It is observed that the crude birth rate declined from 26.9 in 2000 to 21.3 in 2013.

There has also been a decline in crude death rate from 7.5 in 2000 to 6.3 in 2013. Similarly, infant mortality rate also declined in Haryana from 67.0 in 2000 to 41.0 in 2013. These achievements are also due to the good health infrastructure facilities available in the state in terms of 57 hospitals, 2630 sub-centres, 485 primary health centres, 112 community health centres,7 trauma centres, 37 rural and urban dispensaries, 90 urban RCH centres, 473 delivery huts, 4973 female health workers at sub-centres & PHCs, 1682 male health workers at, 398 female health assistants at PHCs, 503 male health assistants at PHCs, 392 well-trained doctors, 1416 pharmacists & other supporting staff, and 1698 nursing staff at PHCs & CHCs in Haryana (Economic Survey of Haryana, 2014-15). For reducing the deaths in newborns and bringing it down to 30 by 2015, Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK), Facility Base Newborn care (FBNC), Home Based Post Natal Care (HBPNC) programs have been initiated by Haryana government.

Infrastructure

The healthcare delivery of any state is not possible without an appropriate health care infrastructure. Adequate infrastructure which includes buildings, equipment, supplies, and communication equipment forms a crucial part of the health services. Healthcare centers, dispensaries, or hospitals need to be manned by well-trained staff with a service perspective. Oral health promotion and checkup and appropriate referral on identification are an essential requirement at the PHCs, whereas in the CHCs, it is imperative to have a unit consisting of dental chair and sets of dental equipment for examination, extraction, and management of dental problems.

At present Health Services are being provided through a network of 59 Hospitals, 121 Community Health Centres, 488 Primary Health Centres, and 2630 Sub Centres. The department also provides services through 8 trauma centers, 3 dedicated burn units as well as 63 urban dispensaries, polyclinics and urban health centers.
