About Us:
Vacancy Notice 3965 Community Health Officer (CHO) Vacancy – NHM,Maharashtra
- The Government of India has launched NRHM on 12th April 2005; with objective to provide integrated comprehensive and effective primary health care to the under privileged and vulnerable sections of the society especially women and children by improving access, availability and quality of public health services.
- The key strategies of the mission include: ensure intra and intersect oral convergence, strengthening public health infrastructure, increasing community participation, creating a village level health cader of health workers fostering public private partnerships, emphasizing quality services and enhanced Programme management inputs.
- India has registered significant progress in improving life expectancy at birth, reducing mortality due to Malaria, as well as reducing infant and material mortality over the last few decades. In spite of the progress made, a high proportion of the population, especially in rural areas, continues to suffer and die from preventable diseases, pregnancy and child birth related complications as well as malnutrition. In addition to old unresolved problems, the health system in the country is facing emerging threats and challenges like, an estimated 5 million people in the country are living with HIV/AIDS, non-communicable diseases such as cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, blindness, mental illness and tobacco use related illnesses etc have imposed the chronic diseases burden on the already over- stretched health care system in the country. India is in the midst of an epidemiological and demographic transition – with the attendant problems of increased chronic disease burden and a decline in mortality and fertility rates leading to an ageing of the population. Premature morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases can be a major economic and human resource loss for India.
- Public spending on preventive health services has a low priority over curative health in the country as a whole. Indian public spending on health is amongst the lowest in the world, whereas its proportion of private spending on health is one of the highest. More than Rs. 100,000 crores is being spent annually as household expenditure on health, which is more than three times the public expenditure on health. The private sector health care is unregulated pushing the cost of health care up and making it unaffordable for the rural poor.
- Thus, the country has to deal with multiple health crises, rising costs of health care and mounting expectations of the people. The challenge of quality health services in remote rural regions has to be met with a sense of urgency. Given the scope and magnitude of the problem, it is no longer enough to focus on narrowly defined projects. The urgent need is to transform the public health system into an accountable, accessible and affordable system of quality services. This understanding has led to the development of health mission in the country.
