Abstract
Background:
In this Project the major concern of health care scenario in rural village has been addressed and
solution of setting up a Primary Health Care centre through which development can take place.
Project Objective and Scope:
The project objective was to study the present condition of the underprivileged people living
in rural village and to work on the development of strategy for setting up Primary Health Care
centre in the village. The scope include reviewing the plan by taking into consideration any
current plans/scheme in the target rural area.
Project Profile:
Keeping in mind, the aim of our study topic, we started our research with a literature
review of various State, National and International papers which helped us understand and
define our objective to study the ground realities of the health care problems faced by the
underprivileged people in rural villages and to come up with an effective strategy of setting
up a Primary Health care centre which would take care of the community as a whole. The target
study area for our research was Pankhanda Village which is situated in
Maharashtra. We did a survey of the village to understand the health care problems faced
by people in the village. We also studied the guidelines of setting up of Primary Health care
centres in rural villages, which helped us in the development of a Primary Health Care model,
a well defined structure which could be implemented in any rural part of the world.
Learning Experience:
This project helped us to understand and learn the problems that the underprivileged people
face in the rural areas with respect to health care conditions.
This project helped us to use our knowledge and research to come up with an effective solution
to tackle the rural health care problems.
We also learnt that in the ongoing Covid19 situation one should always find new ways to keep
learning and adapting themselves to changing circumstances.
Recommendations:
As far as this project is concerned there can be improvements in collecting more information
by the visiting the village physically as we were unable to visit the village due to Covid -19
pandemic.
Short term plan:
• To be implemented within 5-10 years.
• Each primary health centre in the rural area to cater to a population of 40,000.
2
Secondary health centre to serve as a supervisory, coordinating and referral institution for each
PHC 2 medical officers, 4 public health nurses, 4 trained dais and 15 class IV employees.
Perception:
Before: We as a team had a perception that we should be able to contribute to the society in
such a way that it will help the people of the village to understand and bring more knowledge
about the Primary Health Care Center.
After: After working with SSF we got a sense of satisfaction that in spite of much difficulty
we were able to contribute for the better development of the people of the village in such a way
that they will understand the importance and need of primary health care center and can
implement models like these in future for the betterment of the people.
Lastly would like to conclude with a quote which was learned during the course of this
internship:

CHAPTER 1-INTRODUCTION
1.1 Context/Background
In India, where more than 70 percent population reside in the rural areas. Rural Health Care
has become one of the biggest challenges facing the Health Ministry of India today.
Considering the picture of the serious facts of the condition of medical facilities being
deplorable, mortality rates due to diseases being on a high, there is a need to adopt new
practices & systems to ensure that quality & timely health care reaches the deprived corner of
the Indian villages.
In Maharashtra, the lack of adequate health care centres have become an important concern for
the increasingly growing population in the rural villages. There is a need to have adequate
Primary health Care infrastructure in rural villages as it provides the first level contact between
the population and health care providers. It addresses the broader determinants of health and
focuses on the comprehensive aspects of physical, mental and social health and wellbeing.
The current status of Primary Health Care in India is very grim. The current primary healthcare
structure is very rigid and unsuccessful in addressing the needs effectively. The unavailability
of resources such as manpower, inadequate infrastructure facilities, are some of the major
factors leading to the poor performance of the primary healthcare system. These problems need
to be addressed in order to provide better services and delivery of primary health care system.

The scope of our report is to design how to develop a Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) in
Pankhanda Village, Maharashtra.To scope also includes reviewing the plan by taking into
consideration any current plan/scheme in the target rural area.Consulting the officials and
locals for any changes in the plan and making necessary changes.

The research paper depicts about essential care that the community and the country can afford
to maintain at every stage of their development in the spirit of self-reliance and
self-determination. Deriving quality care to a large population inculcating various types of
diseases such as communicable/Non-communicable diseases, maternal, perinatal, and
nutritional deficiencies, mental health, continue to rise substantially. India’s progress towards
achieving progress in healthcare has advanced taking the future challenges in a rigorous manner

TOPIC- Role of laboratory services in primary health centre (PHC) outpatient department
performance: an Indian case study of Osamnabad district, Maharashtra
The research paper presented the study on improving the performances of the Primary Health
Care Centres in rural areas by focusing on its laboratory services. To analyse the role of PHC
laboratory services on the overall PHC performance, a Cross-sectional study was conducted
based on 42 PHCs of Osmanabad District, Maharashtra. The study concluded that skill-up
gradation of existing Laboratory technicians could help in improving the laboratory services
thus maximizing the PHC performance and could be a cost-effective approach to maximize the
returns from the existing medical workforce in PHCs.

TOPIC-Community perspectives on primary health centers in rural Maharashtra
The research paper is the qualitative study, based on data from 14 Focus Group Discussions in
a rural area in Maharashtra in the area of 8 PHCs.For analysis, principles of maximum variation
sampling like age, education, marital status, and caste was collected from the FGD participants.
It was found that the lack of availability of drugs/services at PHCs, there was no trust in doctor-
patient interactions and general. People had faith that private doctors’ treatments would lead to
an early recovery. PHC was little distance away, people expressed willingness to travel- if good
drugs and services were provided at the centre.

TOPIC- Re-Activating Primary Health Centres through industrial partnership in Tamil Nadu
is it sustainable model of partnership
The purpose of the paper is to study the overall intent of public-private partnership is to utilise
the strengths of the public and private sectors. In India, private sector participated in public
health care system in several ways like clinical, nonclinical, philanthropic, non-philanthropic,
financial,non-financial,preventive,curative, and rehabilitative.The policy of industrial
partnership to re-activate PHCs in TamilNadu, although implemented through ‘gentle
coercion’, seems to have brought in significant intangible and limited tangible benefits to the
PHCs.

Topic -Tracking Financial Resources for Primary Health Care in Uttar Pradesh, India
Developing strategies to meet those goals, enabling mid-course correction, and measuring
health system performance rely on availability of sound data.The paradox that despite limited
budgets the utilization of the scarce resourcesis low, particularly of NHM funds. If the
utilization of these funds could be improved, in one of the study years it would make an
additional Rs 2407 crores available for spending, which is approximately 20 percent of the
TGHE.In 2014-15 utilization of Treasury funds against budget (excluding NHM) was 70
percent and for NHM, utilization against available funds was 61 percent.

TOPIC -Quality of health care in primary health care system: A reflection from
Indian state (Uttar Pradesh)
Quality in primary health care services is a key component in reducing allcause mortality and
disability cases. The purpose of the study is to summarize the quality of primary health care in
Uttar Pradesh (UP) and to identify important barriers that hamper quality service achievement.
The results indicate that the quality of PHC services is abysmally poor in primary health care
setting of UP. There are numerous barriers that impede quality services achievement and
service utilization.

Nearly 75 percent of health infrastructure and other health resources are concentrated in urban
areas. One of key achievements in the area of rural health is National Rural Health Mission
(NRHM). The RSBY offers a micro-insurance product for households designated as “below
the poverty line (BPL)” and aims to cover up to 60 million households throughout the country
over the next five years.

and many other factors. The research paper presented some proposals to improve technology
requirements and howto deal with the use of telemedicine in rural areas of these countries.
The paper is investigated to study the cross-sectional analysis of data collected from public
PHC facilities from all over the country from 2005 to 2019.Health facilities in Tanzania needed
some sort of renovation or reconstruction in order to offer the quality health services to its
catchment populations. There were renovations or construction with ability to offer safe
surgical services through the use of a force account approach, whereby they implemented
rehabilitative or developmental work by utilizing its domestic resources rather than following
the conventional contracting processes.

countries: a multi-national cross-sectional study.
They would develop a train-the-trainer model to deliver the high-quality training program.
Implement newly emerging training modalities such as participatory training, interactive case-
based learning, high-fidelity simulation training, and web-based learning. Tailor the training
priorities to different levels of PHC personnel, e.g., entry level training to novices, enhanced
training to backbone staff, and management training for administrators. PHC members who
scored lower in this survey deserve special attention and targeted training programs can be
designed and provided for them.

The study of 2010 in Malawi showed that there is a functional PHC system in place though its
implementation faced challenges of accessibility of services and shortage of resources. Health
service providers and consumers shared perceptions on the importance of intensifying
community participation to strengthen PHC. The study indicates that intensified community
participation based on the CDI approach can be considered as a realistic means to increase
accessibility of certain vital interventions at community level.

The aim of the research paper is to provide quality health services to all its citizens.Data for
the research came from 10 ex-patients who sought primary health services in a health centre in
a sub-district in Bangladesh. This paper demonstrates that lack of adequate health
professionals, misuse of resources, provider absenteeism, provider-centric consultations result
in patient dissatisfaction and ineffectiveness of services.The data analyses suggest that the
structure of the UHC organisation and the processes of health service delivery influence the
outcome of the health services.

TOPIC-Sri Lanka's approach to Primary Health Care: a success story in South Asia
This paper argues that Sri Lanka's primary health care program succeeded in reducing mortality
and promoting health in the early twentieth century as it tackled the most serious health
14
problems across the country with the help of local communities.Sri Lanka has achieved
outstanding health indicators, like low mortality rate (5 per 1000) and high life expectancy (75
years), which are the results of historical commitment to health as a social goal, welfare
orientation to development, community participation in the decision-making process pertaining
to health, and the universal coverage of health services.

1. Survey of the Village
This included collecting the information about village. The information was collected through
Google Earth, Google Maps as it was not possible to physically visit the area due the situation
of Covid-19. This helped us understand about the area, location, roads, etc. about the village.
4. Data Collection
Data collection is an important part of research as important decisions are made based on the
analysis of the data collected from a research and one critical component of data collection is
ensuring the quality of the data collected. Specifically, it is important that the data should be
both high-quality and relevant.
The data was collected with the help of a Questionnaire to study about the village. Data was
collected to understand the existing situation of the Health Care scenario and problems faced
by the people living in the village.
Hence we designed a questionnaire which is shown on the next page.

5. Data Interpretation
The purpose of data analysis is to extract useful information from data collected and take the
decisions based upon the interpretation.
For this research, our group collected the data in the form of questionnaire which was used
while surveying the rural population in village. This helped us to interpret the data in a
meaningful manner. Thus, we proceeded with qualitative and quantitative interpretation of
data.
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS: In quantitative analysis, we used questions related to facts
and figures number of households, income of people, health facilities and number of people
affected with any pre-existing ailment. These quantitative facts and figures helped us to support
our research and study.
Conclusion
We feel the methods mentioned above were the best methods possible in the existing scenario
of the Covid19 pandemic. The above study helped us understand the existing situation
prevailing in the village and to come up with an effective solution to tackle it.

CHAPTER 4- CASE STUDY
In this chapter, the study of the village was carried out which lead to the development of
Primary Healthcare Center model which would benefit the underprivileged people in the rural
area and provide them with basic healthcare facilities.
Healthcare Issues around the World
According to a report from WHO the poor are treated with less respect, given less choice of
service providers and offered lower quality amenities.Atleast half of the world’s people still
lack full coverage of essential health services.A fit-for-purpose workforce is essential to deliver
primary health care, yet the world has an estimated shortfall of 18 million health workers.Of
the 30 countries for which data are available, only 8 spend at least US$ 40 per person on
primary health care per year.

4.5 Data Interpretation
It provides whole-person care for health needs throughout the lifespan, not just for a set of
specific diseases. Primary health care ensures people receive comprehensive care - ranging
from promotion and prevention to treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care - as close as
feasible to people’s everyday environment.
Primary health care has been proven to be a highly effective and efficient way to address the
main causes and risks of poor health and well-being today, as well as handling the emerging
challenges that threaten health and well-being tomorrow.
Healthcare is the right of every individual but lack of quality infrastructure, dearth of qualified
medical functionaries, and non- access to basic medicines and medical facilities thwarts its
reach to 60% of population in India. A majority of 700 million people lives in rural areas where
the condition of medical facilities is deplorable.
The two images below show the poor conditions of the Primary Health Care Centres in
rural areas.The villages don’t have proper facility for healthcare and medicines, lack of
adequate infrastructure, lack of adequate training and expertise and various other factors.

Also, many and studies have pointed out that availability PHC Centres are low in rural areas
as it is influenced by numerous factors. Unless these factors are identified and the
measurestaken, the goal of “Universal Health Care and Health for All” may not be achieved.
Based on studying the conditions of the village, we have developed a Primary Health
Care Centre model and which can be implemented in any part of Rural India. The same
is explained in detail on the next page.

• This room can also be used for basic eye operations.
6. Sanitization Facility:
• There are different toilets built for male and female.
• The toilets will have exhaust fans and also wash basin to maintain hygiene.
This Primary Healthcare Centre will be a good quality outpatient healthcare facility that intends
to serve as a first point contact to the people living in the village and will provide basic health
care facilities which includes prevention and treatment of common diseases and injuries, basic
emergency services, referrals to/coordination with other levels of care (such as hospitals and
specialist care), healthy child development etc.
Working on a shoe string budget the Primary health care centre will exploit local construction
skills and utilize low cost effective and quality materials available in vicinity.
The structural design utilizes the strength characteristics of individual materials. A load-
bearing wall which will be an active structural element of facility, which will hold the weight
of the elements above it, by conducting its weight to a foundation structure below it.
The walls are produced by a bricklayer, using bricks and mortar. Typically, rows of bricks
called courses are laid on top of one another to build up a structure such as a brick wall as
shown in the image below.

They are made from a type of red clay (referred to as ‘laterite clay’) which is typically
considered very hard as compared to other kinds of building clay. The roof is built with wooden
frames and laid out with Mangalore tiles on the roofas shown in the image below.
Source:http://newseq.blogspot.com/2011/10/affordable-housing-with-mangalore-tiles.htm
Benefits:
Economical:Mangalore tiles are relatively cheap to produce which means their purchase price
is also low when compared to other roofing materials. Also, Mangalore tiles offer your
money’s worth: they are as durable as can last a century and more which means you do not
have to replace them anytime soon.
Eco Friendly: Due to the material they are made of, they have very little or no negative effect
on the environment and pose no threat to the normal flow of ecological activities within the
environment.
Energy Insulation: Since they are made of clay, Mangalore tiles help to regulate the flow of
electrical energy within a building.

CHAPTER 5-CONCLUSION
The healthcare system in India has been one of the important issues for development. But it
has been one of the neglected sectors in the economy. The existing state of public health in the
country is so dissatisfactory that any attempt to improve the present condition must necessarily
involve administrative measures.
Health indicators are poor in the areas where primary health care services are
delivered.Therefore, improvement in the quality of primary health care services are needed to
improve the current health status. The awareness about the PHC services and its services of is
high, however, the utilization of its services is quite low among the community.
Therefore, improvement in the quality of primary health care services are needed to improve
the current health status. To reduce the disease burden and health inequalities the government
policies has to enhance their focus on preventive and promotive health care services.It is
imperative for us to revitalize the existing rural health system from both structural and
functional points of view.
RESULTS
As interpreted above, the studied village area is lacking some of the significant medical and
hygienic awareness and facilities. The village people need to be actively made aware about
practicing sanitation in toilets. Those households are lacking the toilets, shall be lended a hand
from the government authorities accountable for the development of that area, to build toilets
for those who are really unable to make it on their own.
Since dispensary may be the sole provider of medicines, but the villagers shall not depend on
it for any uncertain diseases whose medication need not to be happen with the dispensary.
Atleast one or two chemist shop should be operated in the village with the help of the
accountable government authorities so that everyone can avail the medicines from the chemist
as well. Also, the price shall be the matter of concern for the poor ones. They shall be provided
medicines at reasonable and affordable price or may be given with some discounts.
Primary healthcare centres itself says that its responsibility is to primarily taking care of the
health of society wherever there is a need. So, developing a PHC in this area will lend a great
hand towards the medical conditions of the village. Apart from this not, development shall be
followed by the major awareness among the villagers of not practicing any unhygienic lifestyle
and shall be taught about various diseases and how to avail the medical facilities at the earliest
