Health Infrastructure and Healthcare Services in Uttar Pradesh
TL;DRAbstract
Our healthcare and family welfare programmes are supposed to be demand driven under the new paradigm given in the post ICPD (International Conference on Population and Development, held in Cairo, 1994) era (United Nations Population Fund, 2004). But supply side issues are also considered equally important in terms of availability and quality of services. The network of Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Sub-Centres (SCs) is the mode for providing healthcare services to the rural masses. The emphasis on family planning and immunization is obvious in view of the enormity of the population problem affecting the economic development and conditions of the poor in the country. The PHCs and SCs are also responsible for the prevention and eradication of major communicable and deficiency diseases such as malaria, filaria, tuberculosis, leprosy, blindness, and diarrhoea.
