Executive Summary
Background:
With the introduction of the NUHM, the state systematically addresses the issues of
primary health care services in urban areas in year 2013. Similar to the rural PHC, the
urban PHCs envisaged as the nodal point for delivery of health care services under the
NUHM. Government of India has recognised that urban areas are shrinking due to
increased population and have congested especially slum and slum like habitations,
and with poor or no proper sanitation, water supply, garbage disposal mechanism
there is resurgence in urban infectious diseases in these areas. It is expected that
Urban PHC’s shall be responsible for health needs/vulnerability assessment, facility
based service provision, outreach services, referral services, disease surveillance and
epidemic control and convergence with other national programs.
This study conducted to get an overview of the current situation of civil dispensaries
and urban primary health centers in the state. The special focus is to understand the
availability of health facilities, physical infrastructure and human resource and services
provisions.
Quantitative and qualitative data collected and analyzed to meet the study objectives.
The In-depth discussion and observation tools were prepared for facility survey. The
staff and OPD related HMIS records collected from health department. Detailed report
based on the primary and secondary data has tried to capture the following:
Geo location of the Civil Dispensary and Urban Primary Health Centers in MP.
Status of human resource and out patient load as per the records of the HMIS
portal.
Availability and accesses to infrastructure, services and management of the
selected urban primary health centers for the study.
Major Findings: Service Records
The urban health centers were Geo-mapped as per HMIS records of the existing
health facilities. The geo mapping of the health facilities reveal that urban health
Centres are prominently present in the densely populated urban areas. Data from
Gwalior, Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur and Sagar regions show high density of urban
health facilities. However, substantial non-functional health facilities are also located in
the same regions.
The study highlights that there is great shortage of manpower at UPHC. In total 125
UPHC, only 537 persons posted which is about 30.7 percent of the recommended staff
strength. The study finds that staff is very limited as compared to the responsibility
and workload assigned to the UPHC and Civil Dispensaries. There are only 54 Medical
officers and 9 contractual Medical officers in total 109 Civil Dispensaries covered that

means the functional status of CDs are doubtful. The proportion of non-functional Civil
Dispensaries are large than Urban-PHC in Madhya Pradesh.
The HMIS OPD record of last year reveals about the types of health related reasons
for which patients visited the urban health facilities. As per the OPD records people
visited health facility for general health reasons, treatment of hypertension, diabetes,
ophthalmic care, dental care and general illness including psychological and emotional
ones. About 170 health centers inclusive of Urban PHCs and Civil Dispensaries provide
services related to maternal health, child health & nutrition and Vector borne disease.
The essential services confined to general consultation and they mostly referred to
nearby government health facility.
Major Findings: Facility Survey
All the surveyed Urban-PHCs are situated within the prescribed limit of distance and
they either are situated within slum or are adjacent to them. However, it was difficult
to locate some of the facilities due to incorrect location address and absence of
direction signs. Facilities like separate dressing room, seating arrangement and
appropriate waiting space were not available in all the facilities. The provision of safe
drinking water for staff and patients was not found in a portion of the health facilities.
It is important to mention here that internet facility was also not available at any
facility. Facilities follow the practice of manual registration of OPD cases. The facilities
do not have separate arrangement for examination of patients related to RCH and this
highlights the fact that there is no emphasis on arrangements for privacy and
confidentiality. The government has attempted to establish UPHCs and other health
facilities in the urban areas. At present majority of the facilities are being run from the
rented buildings that were not constructed for running health facilities and that is the
reason of shortage of space for almost all the activities.
Majority of the Urban-PHCs follow the GOI pattern for operating the OPD services and
are providing service from12 noon to 8 pm. Few UPHCs depend on the staff attached
to the facility and due to this reason, the facilities are forced to operate for a lesser
period of time that is 4 hours in a day. Civil Dispensaries have a different practice and
the either provide OPD services in the morning or in morning or evening both.
At present, most of the health staff working in urban health facilities has very limited
exposure and knowledge about their wider role of UPHC and other urban health
institutions. Data also highlights the fact that limited efforts taken to protect the staff
from health risks.
At present, the health facilities lack basic infrastructure to offer basic lab services. This
forces the doctors and health staff either to refer the cases to district hospital or to get
tests done through private pathology. Moreover, almost all the facilities face the
problem of limited or non-availability of necessary equipment.

The situation of availability of basic drugs is much better than other indicators. Health
staff informed that basic drugs are always available in the facility. In case of shortage
or requirement of any particular drug, demand of drugs to the district authorities that
is send and these drugs are available to the facility within 7-10 days.
Study also identified key barriers vis-à-vis access to basic services provided by urban
health facilities and the barriers are linked to the lack of basic physical amenities in the
buildings in terms of adequate space for different service, provision for privacy and
confidentiality, separate toilets, safe drinking water. Lack of sufficient staff also
increases the workload on the existing staff and pending decisions demotivates them
from taking initiatives.
The status of managing and disposing biomedical waste is very poor due to shortage
of staff, proper orientation of existing staff, and lack of necessary facilities. Proper
segregation of the biomedical waste was not in place. The sharp edge waste items
were mixed with the other waste items. In some facilities, infectious and noninfectious
waste was observed in the same bins. The study also found that the Medical Officers
posted in Urban-PHC were also not aware about fund status.
Conclusion
Government has attempted to establish UPHC and equip other urban Civil Dispensaries
so that they are able to cater health services to most vulnerable population of urban
areas of the state. At present the Urban Health facilities are in their nascent stage and
lack basic orientation, infrastructure and equipment necessary run an UPHC. All these
urban health facilities require proper attention and support from the existing health
management system. Identifying proper and specious building, posting proper and
sufficient staff and appropriate training and orientation is necessary to run the UPHC
as per the expectations of National Health Mission. Government need to mainstream
the process of planning for extending health services to urban poor. It becomes more
important when the shift from rural to urban areas is very rapid and majority of the
distressed rural population is migrating and coming as vulnerable and deprived
population of the urban slums.

Recommendations
Based on study findings, the suggested recommendations are as below:
1. Administration: During the process of verification, some of the facilities found
relocated or closed. It is very important to verify all the functional Civil Dispensaries
and Urban PHCs in the state. It revealed that staff posted in the Urban PHCs and Civil
Dispensaries are not full time staff and thus are under multiple administrative control.
It is worth recommending here to have only one administrative control at district level
to avoid multiple instructions.
2. Access and Infrastructure: Study recommends that UPHC and CDs to have separate
and proper room for consultation, dressing, pharmacy and lab with seating
arrangements for the patients. Ramp or hand railing, proper light and ventilation in
the facility must be ensure before finalization of the Structure. Regular maintenance of
the government buildings (majority of Civil Dispensaries) is highly recommended as it
creates a bad visual and environmental impact on the staff and patient apart from
other problem.
3. Human Resource/Health Staff: In order to improve the health care services provided
by the Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs, recruitment and posting of staff as per
norms and capacity building needs to be done on priority basis.
4. Service Provision: Basic laboratory and required equipment’s must be provided to all
the facilities for timely identification, diagnosis and treatment to avoid undue pressure
in district hospitals. National health programme guidelines need to be followed for
implementation at the urban centers. To avoid delays and non-availability of drugs and
equipment at the centers, the provision of advance planning and demand should be
made.
5. Convergence and Partnership: This is one of the significant areas that needs to be
explored by the department. It is recommended to explore potential partnerships
available at district level. It could be in primary diagnostic area like basic pathological
tests and digital X-ray. It would help by nominating/appointing the state and district
level nodal officers.
6. Fund: Comprehensive mapping of activities and financial planning should be done in
coordination with NUHM i.e. multiple PIP of national programme, NHM, UHM should be
avoided. Electronic transfers of funds must be brought in practice.

1. Background
The Bhore Committee, in 1946, introduced the Primary Health Centres in India to
provide an integrated curative and preventive health care to rural population. In urban
areas there have not been any coordinated efforts for primary health care. Urban
India have had many versions of the PHC, varying from state to state under various
projects, providing a range of services such as urban health posts, urban health and
family welfare centres, urban health centres and civil hospitals. It is important to
mention here that all such health services in urban areas have been sporadic and
unsystematic in their population coverage, service package and locations.
Urbanization is one of the most significant demographic trends of the 21st century.
Unplanned and rapid urbanization has led to massive growth in the number of urban
poor population, especially those living in slum areas. However, most of the Indian
towns, lack the necessary infrastructure in terms of proper housing, water and
sanitation, basic services such as health care and education to accommodate and
meet the needs of poor migrants. The poor living conditions have implications for
health, wellbeing and productivity. While on one hand the cities are considered full of
opportunities and affluence, paradoxically they become hubs of marginalization,
poverty and disease.
The urban poor not only suffer from poor health status with higher burdens of
mortality, morbidity and under-nutrition compared to rest of the urban population but
also the incidence of vector borne diseases, tuberculosis and respiratory infections are
significantly higher (WHO, 2009). Despite the supposed proximity of the urban poor to
health facilities, their access to these is severely restricted. Social exclusion, lack of
information, unavailability of assistance at the secondary and tertiary hospitals further
restricts their access to health care services. Ineffective outreach and weak referral
system inhibits them from accessing the available healthcare facilities. The lack of
economic resources limits their access to the available private facilities. Keeping this in
view, Government of India approved the Urban Health Mission as a sub-mission of
National Health Mission (NHM) on 1st May 2013. The objective of the National
Urban Health Mission is to address the primary health care needs of the urban
poor and marginalized population.
It is clear from NUHM guidelines that the U-PHC may cater to a slum population
ranging from 25,000 to 30,000. The guidelines also specify that depending on the
spatial distribution of the slum population, the population covered by a U-PHC may
vary from 50,000 for cities with sparse slum population to 75,000 for highly
concentrated slums. Centre, through NUHM has made it clear that the UPHC must be
located within a distance of not more than ½ a kilometre from a slum or slum-like
habitation, to ensure easy access by the most vulnerable of the urban population.

The guidelines strictly clarify that the hours of operation of the UPHC must enable the
urban working population to conveniently access the UPHC. With this precondition the
NUHM has given liberty to state for providing 8 hours of service, which is convenient
to the community it caters to. NUHM has recommended that the U-PHC should
preferably operate from 12 noon to 8 pm. If states opt for dual shifts, this shall entail
employing additional staff. High caseloads may be a criterion for allocating additional
staff to UPHCs. NUHM has also suggested staff pattern for U-PHC. As per the
suggestion of NUHM there should be One MO I/C, one part time MO, One LHV, Nurse,
Lab Technician, Pharmacist, Public Health Manager/ Mobilization Officer, M & E Unit, 3
Support Staff and 3 to 5 ANMs.
National Urban Health Mission envisages to cater the health care needs of the
population with special focus on urban poor, by making available essential primary
health care services. This will be achieved by strengthening the existing health care
service delivery system, targeting the people living in slums and converging with
various schemes relating to wider determinants of health like drinking water,
sanitation, school education, etc. programme implemented by the Ministries of Urban
Development, Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation, Human Resource Development
and Women & Child Development.
The framework of the National Urban Health Mission visualizes provision of primary
healthcare to the slum dwellers and vulnerable groups through targeted outreach
services. Unlike in rural areas, sub-centers are not being set up in the urban areas as
distances are relatively small and transportation facilities are easily available. While
routine health services at the Urban-PHCs, package of certain identified services would
be provided through targeted outreach services in non-accessible clusters. ANM would
provide the outreach services to these vulnerable populations in slum areas. In
addition, special outreach services would also be organized for these identified slum &
vulnerable population pockets periodically as per the specific local healthcare needs.
The National Health Mission (NHM) has identified following segments of population as
high focus clusters that are in line with National Health Policy 2017:
Urban Poor Population living in listed and unlisted slums
All other vulnerable population such as homeless, rag-pickers, street
children, rickshaw pullers, construction and brick and lime kiln workers, sex
workers, and other temporary migrants.
Public health thrust on sanitation, clean drinking water, vector control, etc.
Strengthening public health capacity of urban local bodies.
Given the large presence of private sector in urban areas, national Health Policy 2017
also recommends exploring the possibilities of developing sustainable models of
partnership with for profit and not for profit sector for urban health care delivery.

2. Study - Present Situation of Civil Dispensary and Urban-PHC
The aim of National Urban Health Mission is to provide comprehensive preventive,
promotive and no domiciliary curative care services to urban poor population. It is
expected from urban primary health centers to provide health services like OPD
(consultation), basic diagnosis services, drug /contraceptive dispensing and delivery of
Reproductive & Child Health (RCH) care services including preventive and promotive
care for communicable and non-communicable diseases.
In Madhya Pradesh, Urban Health Mission began its operation since its inception in
year 2013. Prior to urban health mission, the Civil Dispensaries were already
established in urban areas for providing primary health care services. Under urban
health mission, new Urban Primary Health Centres were created in addition to Civil
Dispensaries to address the health needs of slum population. In order to understand
the current situation of Civil Dispensaries and urban primary health centers in Madhya
Pradesh, this study was conceptualized.
The present report is the outcome of the study conducted by AIGGPA for Department
of Health and Family Welfare Madhya Pradesh to get an overview of the current
situation of civil dispensaries and urban primary health centers. The special focus of
the study is to understand the availability of health facilities, physical infrastructure,
human resources and service provisions.
2.1 Study Objectives
The main purpose of the study is to undertake situation analysis of Civil Dispensaries
and Urban Primary Health Centers in Madhya Pradesh.
The specific objectives of the study were:
1. To Geo-map all the Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs in Madhya Pradesh.
2. To assess the human resource gaps (against NUHM norms) in all Civil
Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs in the state.
3. To study the OPD records of all Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs in last
one year from MP Health Management Information System database.
4. To study the services related barriers faced by staff of Civil Dispensaries and
Urban-PHCs in the state.
5. To identify the potential stakeholders, service collaborates (Public Private
Partner) and referral points of selected Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs in
the state.

2.2. Methodology
The current study is primarily a cross section study, a mix of primary and secondary
data analysis. In study, quantitative and qualitative data collected and analyzed to
meet the study objectives.
2.2.1 Service Records
The records related to Human Resource of Civil Dispensaries and urban primary health
centers from Department of Health and Family Welfare Madhya Pradesh and National
Health Mission MP collected and analyzed. In addition, Health Management
Information System (HMIS) database of last one year (April 2017 to March 2018)
collected to understand the OPD profile of patients who visited Civil Dispensaries and
Urban-PHCs. The discrepancies related to number of Civil Dispensaries and Urban-
PHCs were observed during data analysis. Subsequently, district wise data
triangulation exercise was performed to verify the facility name from HMIS and HR
records to ensure the actual number of Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs reported in
records.
2.2.2 Facility Survey
In addition to service records, a survey of urban health facilities was also conducted in
the state. Considering the representation of all the 10 divisions, 11 districts were
selected randomly. Further, within the selected districts, 1 Civil Dispensary and 1
Urban-PHC were chosen randomly. The facility survey was conducted at the following
locations in May 2018:

2.2.3 Execution Steps
2.2.3.1 Development of tool and testing:
The study tools i.e. In-depth Interview guideline consisting of structured, semi-
structured and open-ended questions were developed for collection of primary data.
The In-depth interview guideline developed by AIGGPA in consultation with National
Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) New Delhi and R.D. Gardi Medical Collage
Ujjain. The draft study tool was shared with Urban Health Mission Government of
Madhya Pradesh for their inputs. The study tool was finalized after incorporating all
the inputs. The AIGGPA team also visited Sehore district to test the study tool before
commencement of survey.
2.2.3.2 Training of study team:
A team of four members having community medicine educational background was
constitutes to conduct the field operation. In May 2018, one day orientation for study
team was conducted at AIGGPA wherein representative from Urban Health Mission
GoMP was also present. The training included classroom training for understanding the
Urban Health Mission operations, study objectives and data collection procedure. The
detail discussion on in-depth-guideline (study tool) was done in participatory way.
Eventually, study team made a field visit at Civil Dispensary Bhopal to have an idea
about working of Civil Dispensary and its operations.
2.2.3.3 Data collection:
Primary data were collected by the study team in the month of May 2018. The AIGGPA
representative also visited the field during the survey period to ensure the quality of
data and hand holding of the study team.
From secondary sources, Civil Dispensary and Urban-PHC wise health staff status, OPD
records from Health Management Information System (HMIS), Directorate of Health
and Family Welfare and National Health Mission Madhya Pradesh offices were
collected. Following records were referred for secondary data analysis:

2.2.3.4 Data processing and Report development:
After collection of primary and secondary data from various sources, electronic
transfer of primary data and data compilation was done by the study team. The
Primary tables were generated as per the analysis plan. The primary data analysis was
limited to information available through interaction with the health staff presents at
the time of facility survey. The frequency tables with respect to infrastructure, human
resource, health services, management of facility and partnership were generated.
The analysis plan developed based on the study objectives and further discussed with
the Department of Urban Health. Accordingly, primary and secondary data analyses
were done. The presentation of data in the form of summary tables, detail tables with
appropriate illustration was developed. Subsequently, the detailed study report was
prepared as per the chapter plan of the study.

3. Findings - Service Records
3.1 Geo-mapping of Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs
The first objective of the study is to geo-map all the Civil Dispensaries and Urban-
PHCs in Madhya Pradesh. The map below shows the presence of Civil Dispensary and
Urban-PHC across the state. The map below indicates the functional and non-
functional status of Civil Dispensaries and urban-PHCs which is based on the HMIS and
HR records. It is evident from the map that the presence of urban health centres is
prominent in the densely populated urban area. Data from the Gwalior, Bhopal,
Indore, Jabalpur and Sagar regions show the high density of urban health facilities.
However, substantial non-functional health facilities are also located in the same
regions.

3.2 Status of Human Resource
One of the main objectives of the study was to understand the human resource gaps
in Civil Dispensary and Urban-PHC across state. The HR data received from NHM
about health staff was analysed in line with NUHM guidelines. The guideline1 suggests
that the health facility should have Medical Officer, Pharmacist, Lab Technician, LHV,
Account keeping & MIS, Public Health Manager, Community Mobiliser, Staff Nurse,
ANM and support staff. The figure below shows the current position of health staff of
Urban-PHCs and Civil Dispensaries in Madhya Pradesh.
Figure 3.2 (a) Who Provides health services in Urban-PHCs and Civil Dispensaries?
No of health staff posted in 125 Urban PHC and 25 Civil Dispensaries according to NHM records
According to NHM, total 633 health staff posted in 125 Urban-PHCs and 25 Civil
Dispensaries in 46 districts in Madhya Pradesh. The figure above shows the category
wise health staff posted in Urban-PHCs and Civil Dispensaries.
In case of Urban-PHC, total 537 health staff posted in 125 centres. The number of
ANM and staff nurse is higher than other health staff posted in Urban-PHC. However,
number of Lab Technician, Pharmacist is less than Medical Office and MIS in Urban-
PHCs. The figure above revels that there is a huge gap for the position of medical
officer, lab technician and Pharmacist. The number of health staff posted in urban
health centres shows the demand of the health staff.
According to NHM-HR records, total 96 health staff is posted in 25 Civil Dispensaries in
Madhya Pradesh. The posting of other staff category includes Orthopedic Specialist,
Ophthalmic & Assistant, Dental Attendant, Dresser, Female Health Supervisor,
Multipurpose Worker Male MPW, and Support Staff, non-Medical Assistant, Peon &
Sweeper, Ward boy, Mess Servant and Aaya & Dai show area of concern. In HR
records, lot of ambiguity related to designation of paramedical health staff also
noticed.

According to the reports from directorate of health, total 92 Civil Dispensaries exists in
22 districts. The figure below shows that in 11 districts, the post of medical officer is
vacant. Four districts namely Alirajpur, Chhatarpur, Guna and Datia are having one
Medical Officer for each of the Civil Dispensary. In 6 districts, there is no medical
officer posted. It is interesting to note that Bhopal has 18 Civil Dispensaries with
posting of 19 medical officers.

An attempt has been made in the study to understand the current status of medical
officer and other staff posted in Civil Dispensaries using administrative records of
directorate of health services and office of national health mission. According to the
health department and NHM records, total 106 Civil Dispensaries exist in 22 districts.
Out of total 22 districts, 10 districts did not show any health staffs posted in 18 Civil
Dispensaries.

In order to understand the human resource gap in Urban-PHC, the HR reports of NHM
were analyzed. Urban Health Mission has suggested minimum number of staff in
different categories to run an Urban PHC. The finding suggests that the many Urban-
PHCs do not have sufficient staff like Medical Officer, Staff Nurse, Lab Technician,
Pharmacist, LDC/MIS and ANM. Figure 3.2 (c) shows the availability of staff with
Urban PHC.

Figure 3.2 (c) Whether Urban-PHCs are equipped with minimum required health staff?
Number of Urban-PHC with minimum required against existing health staff
According to NHM HR-Report, total 125 Urban-PHCs reported availability of at least
one health staff in the facility. The figure above shows the gap of health staff
according to different category. The figure 3.2 (c) above explains the status of existing
staff against required minimum staff as per the norms of the urban health mission. It
is evident from the above figure that there is a shortage of the staff category in all the
125 Urban PHCs. The human resource gap is three fold in case of Lab technician, half
of the Urban-PHC does not have Medical Officers and 35 Urban-PHC with non-
availability of ANM is a matter of concern.

The figure 3.2 (d) above explains the status of existing staff according to JD (National
Urban Mission) Office NHM. According to JD Office records, total 1037 heath staff
posted in 245 civil dispensaries and Urban PHCs in Madhya Pradesh. Out of total 1037
health staff 479 staff members are regular and 558 staff members are in contractual.
The figure 3.2 (d) shows the designation wise health staff with regular post and
contractual post.
It is evident from the above figure that the contractual staff in terms of medical
officer, staff nurse and ANM is higher than regular position. However, other staff in
regular scale is higher than contractual in civil dispensaries and Urban PHCs.

The Health Management
Information System (HMIS)
data from Department of
Health and Family Welfare
Government of Madhya
Pradesh collected and
analyzed to understand the
service provision in Civil
Dispensaries and urban-
PHCs through outpatient
records. The last one year
(April 2017 to March 2018)
data shows in Figure 3.3 (a)
that out of total 245 health
facilities, 75 (31%) facilities
were not registered any
outpatient record in HMIS whereas, 170 (69%) facilities were functional and engaged
in outpatient services (OPD) with regular update records in HMIS.
The table below shows that the proportion of non-functional Civil Dispensaries are
large than Urban-PHC in Madhya Pradesh. Out of total 109, only 71 Civil Dispensaries
are functional and register outpatient records in HMIS whereas, only 4 Urban-PHCs
have not updated outpatient records in last year HMIS.

The table 4 shows that volume of OPD in 170 facilities. The HMIS outpatient records
show that more than 18 lakh patients visited urban health facilities to avail primary
health care services in Madhya Pradesh. However, more than 50 thousand patient
benefited through Ayush facilities.

updated OPD detail in last year HMIS. Out of total 132 Urban-PHCs only 88 Urban-
PHCs updated detail outpatient records in HMIS. However, number of Civil
Dispensaries which update HMIS is not very encouraging and only 11 Civil
Dispensaries registered details of outpatient records in HMIS during last year.

other health reasons registered were diabetes, ophthalmic and dental. It is important
to notice that substantial outpatient records were found in relation to Mental illness
related followed by Acute Heart Diseases, Epilepsy and Stroke (Paralysis).

4. Findings - Facility Survey
Facility survey tried to observe the field level situation in the selected urban health
facilities in the sample area. The focus of the field survey was to observe the physical
infrastructure, human resource, services provided and managed by the facilities.
During discussions opinion were also taken on the difficulties faced and ways to
improve health care services. The current section of the study tries to highlight the
findings of the facility survey.
4.1 Infrastructure
A. Accessibility
An attempt has been made to find out whether the slum population can access health
facilities with suitable timings
conveniently? As per National guideline the
Urban-PHC (Structure) must be located
within a distance not more than ½
kilometers from the slum or similar
habitation to ensure easy access by the
most vulnerable urban population. In
survey, study team observed that all the
Urban-PHCs situated adjacent to the slum
areas and are connected with all-weather
approach road.
In most of the facilities, display boards with
facility name noticed. However, it was
difficult to locate the facility due to incorrect
location address and absence of direction
signs. In Dhar district, the Urban-PHC
GanjiKhana was difficult to locate by study
team
as
there
was
no sign board in front of the building. The
team realized that there is need to put proper
sign boards with directions to identify, locate
facility without hassle. It was mentioned by the
facility providers that in most of the places, the
slum dwellers are not aware of the location of
the facility in their area.

B. OPD Timings
The OPD timing of Urban-PHC should enable the slum population to avail health
services to their convenience. The NUHM guidelines suggest that the OPD timing could
be of 8 hours availability of health services. The recommended OPD timing is 12.00
noon to 8.00 pm.
In the survey, out of total 9 Urban-PHCs, 8 Urban-PHCs follow the fixed timings from
12 noon to 8 pm. Only 1 Urban-
PHC Sagar provides OPD services
from 4 pm to 8 pm because
Medical Officer was attached to
Bina Community Health Center
(CHC) at the time of survey. In
total 10 Civil Dispensaries visited
by the study team, 3 Civil
Dispensaries follow only morning
session i.e. 8 am to 1 pm whereas
7 Civil Dispensaries follow timings
from 8 am to 1 pm and 5 pm to 6 pm.
Thus the morning OPD facilities were found to give 3 hours which is less than the
prescribed 8 hours.
C. Physical Infrastructure
Proper physical infrastructure is significant for health facility to provide health care
services. The study team during the facility survey observed current infrastructure
facilities of selected Urban-PHC and Civil Dispensaries and recorded primarily condition
of building, space arrangement for OPD and other necessary facilities.
All the 9 Urban-PHCs were reported to
have rented building whereas out of 10
Civil Dispensaries only 2 Civil
Dispensaries, (Jabalpur and Sagar
districts) reported rental buildings and
rest 8 Civil Dispensaries have
government building.
In survey, 3 health facilities namely
Civil Dispensary Bhagwanganj in Sagar,
Urban-PHC in Jabalpur and Civil
Dispensary Golpharia in Gwalior run in a double story building wherein the OPD was
located on the first floor. The absence of hassle free entrance and ramps denied easy
access for old and physically challenged patients.
OPD Timing 12 noon to 8.00 pm: 8 Urban-PHCs 4.00 pm to 8.00 pm: 1 Urban-PHC 8.00 am to 1.00 pm: 10 Civil Dispensaries 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm: 7 Civil Dispensaries

Number of surveyed health facilities with basic facilities
The key facilities like OPD cum consultation room, pharmacy room found in all the
facility visited. Separate dressing room, seating arrangement and appropriate waiting
space were not found in all the facilities. The health staff posted in all the health
facilities confirmed that facilities have regular water and electricity supply.
In Civil Dispensary Dhar, facility does not have water supply within the premises and
health staff reported that they bring water from nearby hand pump as per their
requirement. The provision of safe drinking water for staff as well as patients was not
found in most of the health facilities. In survey, no separate toilet for men and women
in the facility was one of the major observations in all the facilities.
The absence of separate toilet for male and female is a matter of concern, as patients
have to face difficulty using single toilet. The staff reported that absence of separate
toilet facility for them dismay their long hours of work. The study team also recorded
other supplementary facilities.

Key issues related to basic infrastructure reported by health staff were:
1. Dangerous Structure in Jabalpur: In Jabalpur district, the Civil Dispensary building
was found in very bad condition as the building can fall anytime. After enquiry,
health staff responded that formal notice is issued by the local authority to vacate
the building but facility is still operational
in the same building due to local political
influence.
2. Need for Systematic Rent Payment:
There is need for systematic and regular
rent payment provision.
3. Lack of Proper Spaces: In most of the
Urban-PHC buildings, availability of
appropriate space for essential services
was found to be a major issue. Lack of
space leads compromised services as
congested arrangements and
overcrowding of patients. In such
situation, patients and care taker keep
stand for long, major discomfort.
A Study of Civil Dispensaries & Urban Primary Health Centres in Madhya Pradesh 2018
Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis
Page 29 of 84
4. Lack of Privacy for Pregnant Women: The reproductive and child health care
services are one of the main health service provisions with maintaining dignity and
privacy of patient. Unfortunate, no emphasis on arrangements for privacy and
confidentiality of the patients found in any of the visited Urban-PHCs.
5. Availability of Safe Drinking Water: Regular water availability was found in all the
facilities visited except Dhar Civil
Dispensary. However, safe drinking water
was absent in almost all the facilities. In
such situation patients forced to drink
unsafe water available in the premises.
The availability of safe drinking water is
possible as it was notice in only one Urban
PHC Pawasa Ujjain.
6. Lack of Separate Male and Female Toilet: One of the essential facility i.e. separate
toilet for male and female was missing in most of the facility visited. Only one
toilet in the premises was found in 11 facilities and it became a common toilet for
all. This is not good for health staff and patients. In Dhar Civil Dispensary, there is
no toilet facility available. The health staff and patients uses the Sulabh Jan
Suvadhaye situated nearby the facility.
Inappropriate constructed toilets, soiled and damaged toilets are wearisome for the
health staff and patients. Importantly, NO
HAND WASH facility arrangements found
in most of the facilities.
7. Unhygienic Environment: Practices
related to hygiene and sanitation were
almost absence in most of the facilities
visited. There is need to make check

8. Lack of Telephone and internet Facilities: Some essential facilities like telephone,
internet and computer with accessories are either not available or were not
functional.
4.2 Human Resource
a. Health Staff
According to national indicative norms for Urban-PHCs, a set of health staff was
proposed. In survey, category wise health staff availability was recorded.
Figure 4.2 (a) Whether survey facilities having appropriate health staff?
Number of health facility with and without health staff
The primary data reveals that out of total 19 facilities visited only 13 facilities had full
time medical officers and 3 facilities had part time medical officers. The study team
learnt that 2 Urban-PHCs (Harda and Dhar), 4 Civil Dispensaries (Dhar, Ujjain, Bhind,
Jabalpur) did not have any full time medical officers. These urban health facilities are
managed by paramedical health staff in the facility. However, 6 Civil Dispensaries
reported full time medical officers. In Bhopal Civil Dispensary, medical officer is there
but he has not resumed his service after long leave at the time of survey. One public
health manager/community mobiliser posted in Bhopal Urban-PHC with additional
charge of MIS.
A Study of Civil Dispensaries & Urban Primary Health Centres in Madhya Pradesh 2018
Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis
Page 31 of 84
In the total 19 facilities, total 103 health staff recorded. There were 15 fulltime and 7
part time medical officers, 30 ANM, 18 support staff and 11 staff nurse were reported
by the health staff. The table below highlights the position of paramedic staff and
medical officers in the survey facilities. Lack of health staff with specific skill
overburdens the existing staff with multiple tasks and affects quality of service.

b. Health staff - Trainings and orientation
The training and orientation is one of the key aspects to ensure the quality of health
care services. During facility visit a question was asked about training of health staff.
Most of the health facility reported that the basic induction and orientation has not
been conducted. The health staff starts routine services soon after posting.
c. Health staff - Health Risk Protection
The health care providers are in regular contact with the patients and are likely to
acquire infections in the facility setting. In survey, a question was asked to know
whether vaccines like Hepatitis B and Tetanus Toxoid (TT) protected staffs. The
information related to immunization statue of health staff was collected for 103 health
personnel (48 Urban PHC; 55 Civil Dispensaries).

Note: (1) There were 48 total staff available in total 9 Urban-PHC and 55 staff in Civil
Dispensaries at the time of survey. (2) Numerator – no of staff covered with specific
risk/denominator total staff available in the facility
The table 7 above shows the availability of mechanism for protecting health workers
from the risk that is associated with various kinds of diseases. There are about 48
health staff in 9 urban PHCs and 55 health staff in 10 Civil Dispensaries, selected for
the study. The data reveals that only 12 staff members in Urban-PHC and 13 staff in
Civil Dispensaries immunized with hepatitis B vaccine. However, 26 staff members in
Urban-PHC and 35 from Civil Dispensaries were immunized to Tetanus Toxoid. It was
interesting to note that only 16 out of total 103 staff have been covered under health
insurance scheme.
4.3 Service Provision
The main purpose of urban-PHCs and Civil Dispensaries is to provide comprehensive
preventive, promotive and non-domiciliary curative care among urban poor. According
to UHM guidelines, the Urban-PHC health services include OPD-consultation, basic
diagnosis services, and Reproductive & Child Health (RCH) services, prevention of
communicable and non-communicable diseases. The services also include drugs
prescription and timely referral.

b. Other support services
Besides essential health care services, the provision of prevention of communicable
and non-communicable disease is one of the focus areas of urban PHC and Civil
Dispensary. It was observed, during the visit to health facilities, that IEC (information
education and communication) materials and materials related to BCC (Behavior
Change Communication) was displayed here and there on the walls of facilities. The
materials were not displayed on strategic locations ensuring proper information
dissemination and spread of messages among the masses.

c. Basic Lab services
Diagnosis is one of the essential services required for the health care and treatment.
According to national Urban health care guideline for primary care, provision of basic
lab infrastructure with trained staff need to be placed in Urban-PHC. In this survey,
the basic lab services like Urine Microscopy Acetone Bile Salt and Bile Pigments Serum,
Cholesterols, Stool Exam LBR, ESR were not available in all the Urban-PHC. Moreover,
non-availability of necessary equipment’s and lab technicians were main reasons
reported. It is seen that blood and urine test facilities are available at very few
facilities and that too only a few tests are conducted. Lab tests services are affected
due to the shortage of lab technicians and necessary items required to conduct various
tests.
Figure 4.3 (a): Diagnosis services in place in all Urban-PHCs and Civil Dispensaries?
Number of facilities according to various lab test proposed by Urban Health Mission
The purpose of basic lab services in Urban-PHC and Civil Dispensary is primarily to
diagnoses communicable and non-communicable disease and help in providing quick
and appropriate treatment. There is need for improving the basic lab facilities with
availability of lab technician. The availability of lab services in urban-PHC would
certainly reduce the pressure on district hospital. In addition, effective lab services
would reduce the financial burden on the slum dwellers and build trust among
community.

d. Drug Supply
At the time of survey, the study team observed stock registers. Question related to
drug and its availability was also asked to the health staff. Health staff reported that
around 56 to 75 listed drugs, under essential drug list, were available. The health staff
reported that the basic drugs are always available in the facility. Further, they said
that at the time of particular drug requirement or in case of any drug falls short,
demand request is forwarded to the district authorities. The staff further informed that
demanded drugs are made available to the facility within 7-10 working days.

f. Barrier of Service Provision
One of the study objectives was to ascertain services related challenges as perceived
by service providers. In this regard, a set of question were asked to available health
staff at the time of visit. The reported barriers were classified in three categories and
are sited in table 15.
Table 15: Barriers of Service Provision
Category Key Barriers
Infrastructure Lack of maintenance of Physical Infrastructure
Unhygienic condition of toilets and no separate toilet for men
and women
Poor equipped lab/Lab services for name sake
Poorly located and facilities with inadequate spaces and poor
status of water supply
Human Resource Lack of trained personnel and adequate staff
In the absence equipped centers and MOs ,staff lose confidence
Non availability/irregularity of medical officer
Delayed decision/ignorance from higher authority
Health Services Facility Level
No transport facility for referral cases
Gap in follow up services
Facility not equipped to manage emergency services
No monitoring
Community Level
Nuisance created by alcoholic persons in late evening
Patients do not follow prescriptions
Environment Facilities are surrounded by unhygienic and dirty environment;
Description of key barriers reported by the service providers:
i. Physical Amenities: Basic physical amenities in the buildings in terms of
adequate space for different service, provision for privacy and confidentiality,
separate toilets, safe drinking water.
ii. Facilities Related to Computer and Internet: Facilities related to computer
and internet interrupts smooth administrative work and updating the HMIS
reports.
iii. Transportation Facilities: Lack of transportation facilities such as ambulance
services etc.
iv. Coordination, Roles Clarity and Work Pressure
The health staff not aware about their roles and responsibility in the
implementation of national health programmes.
A Study of Civil Dispensaries & Urban Primary Health Centres in Madhya Pradesh 2018
Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis
Page 44 of 84
Staff is unable to take any initiative in the absence of timely instructions and
guidelines.
The senior staff is attached to the other health facility that affects the functioning
of Civil Dispensary and Urban-PHC.
Existing staff has to perform additional activities; conduct multitasks and keeps
working for long hours in the absence of sufficient of staff at facility.
Lack of coordination among staff affects the performance of the facility.
4.4 Outreach services
Outreach services are an integral part of public health services. It facilitates improving
health behaviors among community. The outreach services create trust and
confidence within community. As per guideline, Outreach, services would be provided
through Female Health Workers (FHWs)/ANMs at Urban-PHC and then move to their
respective areas for outreach services (including school health) on designated days.
In survey, a question was asked to understand to what extend the outreach services
being provided by the facility. The table below shows that three forth of the total
Urban-PHC and Civil Dispensary were providing regular outreach services through
Urban Health and Nutrition Day (UHND) and special outreach camps.

During field visit, the study team noticed that in the absence of the medical officers
and sufficient number of ANM the outreach services are affected. Lack of confidence
among ANM on counseling techniques discourages them to initiate communication
with target group.

4.5 Referral Services
Response related to referral services presented in the table 17. In the absence of lab
facilities and lab technician, patients are referred to the nearby district hospitals. The
patients who require specialized services were often referred to the district hospital.

4.6 Management
4.6.1 Biomedical Waste Management
Management of waste generated in the
health facilities causes a direct health
impact on health staff but also on the
surroundings. It is mandatory and
prime responsibility of the health
facility administrators to manage waste
in most safe and eco-friendly manner.
According to the Bio Medical Waste
Management Rules (2016), the bio-
medical waste can be categorized in
following steps.
1. Waste Segregation (at source of
generation);
2. Pre-treat Laboratory and Highly
infectious waste [Yellow (h) waste;
3. Collection and Storage of
segregated waste in color coded
bags/ containers/ bins;
4. Intra-mural transportation from
generation site to central storage
area;
5. Storage;
6. Treatment (within 48 hours of waste
generation)
7. Disposal
First five steps (Segregation,
Collection, pre-treatment Intramural
Transportation and Storage) are
exclusive responsibility of the Health
Care Facility while next two Treatment
and Disposal are primarily
responsibility of CBWTF (Common
Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility)
operator except for lab and highly
infectious waste requires pre-treatment
by the HCF. The the study team at the
time of visit observed biomedical waste management practices of Civil Dispensary and
Urban-PHCs were.
BIO MEDICAL WASTE COLLECTION
Bio-medical waste should be collected on
daily basis from each ward of the hospital
at a fixed interval of time. There can be
multiple collections from wards during the
day.
HCF should ensure collection,
transportation, treatment and disposal of
bio-medical waste within 48 hours.
Collection times should be fixed and
appropriate to the quantity of waste
produced in each area of the health-care
facility.
General waste should not be collected at
the same time or in the same trolley in
which biomedical waste is collected.
Collection should be daily for most
wastes, with collection timed to match
the pattern of waste generation during
the day. For example, in An IPD ward
where the morning routine begins with
the changing of dressings, infectious
waste could be collected mid-morning to
prevent soiled bandages remaining in the
area for longer than necessary.
Collect general waste immediately after
the visiting hours of the HCFs, as visitors
coming to facility generate a lot of
general waste. The collection timings
must enable the HCF to minimize or
nullify the use of interim storage of waste
in the departments.
Bio-medical waste collected by the staff,
should be provided with PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment).

The above figure 4.6 (a) shows that the waste generated by one Civil Dispensary and
Urban-PHC surrender to the district hospital. The district hospital waste collection van
collects biomedical waste from 11 facilities (7 Civil Dispensaries and 4 urban PHCs)
whereas, 3 facilities were depended on local urban body/Nagar Nigam. Status of
following and implementation of Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016, has
been studied in 19 facilities. Compliance against basic indicators related to Bio-Medical
Waste Management Rules (2016) was observed and recorded. The findings have been
tabulated in table 18 and presented below.

In study, out of total 19 facilities, 10 facilities reported to have Biomedical waste
registration but none of the facility shows the registration number or certificate at the
time of visit. The renewal of the Bio medical waste registration number was due for
Civil Dispensary Indore. During discussion with the facility staff, study team learnt that
the staff is not clear about Bio medical waste registration number.
A Study of Civil Dispensaries & Urban Primary Health Centres in Madhya Pradesh 2018
Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis
Page 48 of 84
Some of the observations related to biomedical waste management were recorded
are:
a) Study team observed the status of use of bins at
facilities. It was found that in some places the bins
were filled up to 3/4th level and in most the
facilities the bins were overfilled with biomedical
waste;
b) Segregation, of biomedical waste, was not done
properly. The sharp waste items were found mixed
with the other waste items. The Infectious and
noninfectious waste were dumped in same bins in
some of the facilities.
c) The biomedical waste kept in the bins for more
than 48 hours.
d) None of the staff trained enough to manage
biomedical waste management protocol.
e) Suggested practice of disinfecting before disposing the Recyclables waste and sharp
waste materials such as IV set, bottles, syringes, latex gloves, catheters etc. are not
followed.
Use of Colour coded bins: The colour coded bins were available only in 8
facilities. Rest of the facilities discard biomedical waste in general bins.
Segregation of biomedical waste was not according to the guidelines.
Essentials for Proper Waste Segregation
In order to ensure the proper BMW segregation at the point of source HCF has
to ensure following:
Display work instructions like posters for waste segregation at the point of
generation
Provide proper sized and adequate number of color coded bins, bags and
containers at the point of generation as per the expected.
Provide PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment) to waste handlers for waste
segregation and collection
A Study of Civil Dispensaries & Urban Primary Health Centres in Madhya Pradesh 2018
Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis
Page 49 of 84
Sterilization, Destruction and Discarding of Equipment: The used needles were
destroyed and discarded properly in 11 facilities but not kept in the right bin. In all the
facilities, sterilization of instruments was in practice. Majority of the facilities were
using boiling method or spirit as sterilizer. No
sterilization dates found in any of the instruments
checked at the time of visit.
Disposal of non-infectious waste: It was observed
that Harda and Bhind Urban-PHC either burns the
Bio-medical waste or dumps outside the hospital
premise. This leads to inviting the flies, insects,
rodents, cats and dogs in the nearby areas. This
practice also increases the Also, rag pickers are at a
risk of getting tetanus and other infections.
Linkages with common treatment facility:
In survey, Bhopal Civil Dispensary reported that the
facility has tied up with MP Pollution Control Board
and Civil Dispensary Jabalpur tied up with Elite
Engineers for management of biomedical waste.
However, 7 facilities are using Nagar Nigam van for
waste disposal.
Important Points
1. Incorrect waste
segregation practices
2. Mix of biomedical
and non infectious
waste
3. Lack of monitoring
by district authority
Classification of Bio-Medical Waste Rules (2016) The bio-medical waste generated from the health care facility into four categories based on the segregation pathway and colour code. 1. Yellow Category 2. Red Category 3. White Category 4. Blue Category

4.6.2 Record and Documentation
The record maintenance system was also observed at the time of visit. The update
registers were found in most of the Civil Dispensary and Urban-PHCs. It is evident
from the table below that register related to OPD, maternal and child health, national
health programme, immunization and health staff registers were in place in most of
the facility visited.

4.6.3 Fund flow and utilization
In survey, information related to fund management was also enquired from the health
staff. Health staff posted in Civil Dispensary and Urban-PHCs did not have any
information about status of fund to the facility. The Medical Officer posted in Urban-
PHC was also not aware about fund status. The fund flow and utilization of Civil
Dispensary manage by Civil Surgeon whereas fund management of Urban-PHC was
managed by Chief Medical Officer.
4.6.4 Monitoring and Supervision
The monitoring and supervision of Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs was also
investigated at the time of visit. The table below describes the response of health staff
regarding monitoring of the facility. It is interesting to note that multiple authorities
were involved in monitoring and supervision.

4.7 Convergence and Partnership
National Urban Health Mission promotes inter-sectoral and intra-sectoral convergence
to avoid duplication of resources and efforts. In study, the understanding about
convergence within health and outside health departments was explored by the study
team.
The convergence with other department was found in initial stage. Most of the health
staff was not aware about the possibility to engage other departments for health
services at their level. However, Bhopal Sai baba Urabn-PHC is successfully
undertaking a disease surveillance project in partnership with AIIMS Bhopal. The
Urban Local Body is actively involved in Jabalpur and Umaria Urban-PHC. During field
visit the study team learnt about the Rotary Club support in OPD services in Ratlam
Civil Dispensary.

5. Conclusion
National Urban Health Mission envisage to meet health care needs of the urban
population with special focus on urban poor, by providing essential primary health care
services with easy access. It could be achieve by strengthening the existing health
care service delivery system particular urban primary health care services in the state.
An attempt has been undertaken to understand current situation of Urban Primary
health care services provided by Civil Dispensaries and Urban- Primary Health Centres
in Madhya Pradesh.
The present study has utilized the primary and secondary source of data. The service
data highlights the geographical distribution of urban health centers engage in primary
health care delivery and its Out Patient performance of the last year. The National
Health Mission - HR data also referred to understand the existing human resource gap.
The geographical distribution of Civil Dispensaries and Urban Primary Health Centers
highlights the current status in terms of physical structure, distance between two or
more facilities and density. Study brings out the need for verification of actual number
of functional Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs for performance monitoring. In order
to understand the actual number of Civil Dispensary and Urban-PHC in Madhya
Pradesh two dataset (1) HMIS facility database (2) NHM-HR records were analyzed
through data triangulation method. It was found that no uniform list of Civil
Dispensary and Urban-PHC is in use by all the departments.
The health staff posted in Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs found to be big challenge
as there is no single Human Resource unit or cell responsible to keep and update HR
data. The mix of regular and contractual staff posted in Civil Dispensaries and Urban-
PHCs with frequent attachment to the district hospital creates ambiguity in facility
performance.
The Health Management Information System was used to ascertain the general health
profile of the patients who visited Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs from April 2017
to March 2018. Most of the facilities updated only total OPD records in HMIS with
details of non-communicable disease. The volume of patients found high with
hypertension, followed by diabetes, ophthalmic and dental problems. It is important to
know the substantial outpatient records related to Mental illness reasons, Acute Heart
Diseases, Epilepsy and Stroke (Paralysis) at Urban-PHC.
The urban health mission has a mandate to improve the urban health care services
with special focus on poor and deprive population. The health service provision faces
services related challenges like availability of medical and paramedical staff. Most
compromised services were found to be lab services due to non-availability of lab
technician. No mechanism of continuous capacity building and minimum supportive

supervision leads lack of confidence among health staff. Investment and maintenance
of physical infrastructure of the health facility was another barrier to build the trust
among community and staff.
It was expected to utilize potential inter-sectoral and intra-sectoral development
partner to improve the urban health in Madhya Pradesh. Lack of awareness among
health staff with limited knowledge and ignorance of district administration is a
challenge to unfold the opportunity. Following key components affects urban health
care services

6. Recommendations
Administration:
It is very important to verify and made available list of all the functional Civil
Dispensary and Urban-PHC to all the departments.
It is recommended to have only one administrative control at district level to avoid
any discrepancy in service delivery.
Access and Infrastructure:
It is recommended to have disabled friendly infrastructure to avail OPD services
with ease. Ramp, Hand- railing, proper lightning etc. must be provided.
The infrastructure should have separate and proper rooms for consultation,
dressing, pharmacy and lab with seating arrangements for the patients.
The display boards with location indicators of health facilities help easy
identification for vulnerable population.
There must be provision of timely rent payment to avoid inconvenience of the
service providers and patients.
It is recommended to ensure the provision of basic facilities like safe drinking
water, hand wash and separate toilets for men and women.
Maintenance of the buildings and premises is highly recommended
Human Resource/Health Staff:
In order to improve the lab services in Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs,
recruitment and posting of lab technician needs to be done on priority basis.
The availability of Medical Officers on regular basis (avoid deputation to District
Hospital) at facility would help in creating the trust among community members.
There is need for capacity building of health staff on counseling, family planning
methods, management and referral of maternal and neonatal complicated cases,
screening and identification of cervical/breast cancer, mental health to improve the
confidence level as well meeting the objectives of urban health mission.
It is recommended that the service requirement would be shared with Nursing
Training Institutions to bridge the knowledge gap at the time of joining.
Service Provision:
It is recommended to have uniform service provision for all the Civil Dispensaries
and Urban-PHC with single point of contact at district level.
The primary care should be made at facility level and referral should be made for
advance treatment.
Basic lab with sufficient essential equipment’s must be provided to all the facilities
for timely identification, diagnosis and treatment.

7. Limitations
1. In study, various service records were referred and analyzed. The discrepancies in
total number of Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs in the various reports were
found. Hence, the total number of Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs varies from
HR records and HMIS reports.
2. It was expected to identify the potential stakeholders; service partners (Public
Private Partnership) and referral points of Civil Dispensaries and Urban-PHCs in the
study. However, in survey, very limited information related to partnership was
reported due to lack of awareness among health staff.
