Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The sub-centres (SCs) are under constant criticism for their inability to deliver quality services and one of the reason is non-availability of adequate infrastructure, In spite of having adequate efforts, there still remain many loopholes in some parts of the delivery system, which has an impact on the overall performance and quality of health services, particularly in the rural area. Methods: Present observational descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Sub-Centres in a district of central India, questionnaire is obtained from the website of DGHS, Department Of Health and Family welfare. The duration of the study was from June 2015 to Nov 2017 Results: Our study showed that out of total 13 sub-centers studied all 13 (100%) Sub-Centres were located in easily accessible area, having their own designated building with complete construction. Compound wall was present in 10(76.9%) Sub-Centres, whereas 8(61.5%) Sub-Centres had good condition of plaster on the wall, 11(84.6%) Sub-Centres had good condition of floor. Total 11 (84.6%) Sub-Centres had labor room and examination room. Toilet facility was available only in 1(7.7%) SubCentre as specified in IPHS. Conclusion: From the present study it was seen that none of the SCs completely adhered to the IPHS standards, however they fulfilled the majority of criteria for infrastructure.
