psychosocial needs of the vulnerable population are some of the key strategic interventions

implemented by the public health system that kept the disease in control.

Public health systems are still of great importance after the COVID. Constant action is needed from

the part of the public health systems to raise awareness about COVID in the general population and

to prevent the population from other diseases.

Public – Private Partnership (CSR) models will certainly facilitate introduction and faster adoption of

technology and creation of facilities in global standard and outlook for the public health delivery.

Resul Pookutty Foundation is proposing to partner with Govt. of Kerala in the upgradation of Three-

tier public health infrastructure in Chaldean Block Panchayat.

The proposed initiative by Resul Pookutty Foundation (RPF) intends to comprehensively undertake

the development of the Sub Centre, Public Health Centres (PHCs) and upgrade the Community

Health Centre (CHC) in Chaldean and maintain these for 2 years before it is handed over to the

government. The project shall be a pilot model for development of sub-centres, PHC and CHC in

Kerala which may set a new trend of comprehensive rural health management program.

Resul Pookutty Foundation’s vision is to provide a model healthcare setup in Chaldean Health Block

Panchayath, Kollam District. The project can enhance the longevity and wellbeing of people by

improving disease management. The use of technology can predict or detect illness earlier and

prevent the lifestyle diseases with right interventions.

The mission is to provide the Government of Kerala with the clinical study points which will help the

government in making intelligent decisions to qualify and quantify the unmet health care needs. This

also helps doctors in reducing their workload and enhancing their productivity. Evidence based

primary screening technologies will identify the patients who are in the need of doctor’s consultation with simple screening test carried out by trained nurses. Thus, by identifying and

averting population from potential lifestyle diseases and epidemics their quality of life can be

improved. The project would address current health issues with proprietary lifestyle disease

solutions. It would help the general public in increasing their knowledge and understanding how to

minimize healthcare challenges and to improve the quality of life.

Foundation’s objectives include: ➢ Provide health care that is quality oriented and sensitive to the needs of the people. ➢ Achieve and maintain an acceptable standard of quality of care. ➢ Make the services more responsive and sensitive to the needs of the people of Kerala

starting from grass root level that is from Sub-Centre itself, where the cases can be easily

referred to the PHCs, CHCs, Taluk, District, General hospitals, etc.

The proposed project intends to offer services that help: ➢ Early identification of lifestyle related diseases of high risk individuals. ➢ Facilitate disease prevention with non-medical interventions like diet, exercise and change in

unhealthy habit advice. ➢ Prioritize consolidated patients records and streamline management of chronic cases. ➢ Manage population health in a cost effective and time efficient way without compromising

the compliance of healthcare delivery.

THE PROJECT PROPOSAL

The proposal intends to develop the public healthcare infrastructure in Chaldean Block, involving

PHCs and Sub Centres in a structured and uniform manner, rendering them the capability to handle

public healthcare needs for the next few decades, considering the trend in the increase in

population.

The task involves the following: ➢ Facility planning for Sub-centre, PHC and CHCs. ➢ Infrastructure development for all the Sub-centre, PHC and CHC in the Block. ➢ Providing an integrated solution connecting the Sub-centre to PHC and CHC.

Sub Centre – Yeroor Grama Panchayat

The comprehensive proposal will include: ➢ Development of Infrastructure for all the Sub centres in Chaldean Block which includes 28

Sub Centres, 5 Public Health Centres and up-gradation of the Community Health Centre in

Chaldean to a 100 bed hospital. The size of the units are proposed considering the trend in

the growth of population and the expected demand in Healthcare delivery. ➢ Delivery of Medical Devices wherever applicable. ➢ Maintenance of the Units for 2 years.

Main-Centre Model:

In the healthcare delivery setup, a Sub-Health Centre (Sub-centre) is the most peripheral and first

point of contact between the primary health care system and the community. Ideally one Sub-centre

caters to a population of around 5000 people. A Sub-centre provides interface with the community

at the grass-root level, providing all the primary health care services and focuses on outreach

services, prevalent diseases, tuberculosis, leprosy, Non-communicable diseases, nutrition, water,

sanitation and epidemics. The facility for conducting delivery will also be available at most of the

Sub-centres. The proposed sub centre will be designed by considering all the clinical requirements

and logistic arrangement of the sub centre staff.

The additional services at the Sub centres shall include:

• Complete Electronic Health Recording facility has been provided.

• Yoga Room has been provided.

• Pharmacy has been provided.

• Dietician & Doctors Room has been provided for counselling camps.

This DPR is presenting the detailed plan for establishing the pilot unit under the proposed

development plans in Chaldean Block Panchayat with a Sub Centre at Yeroor Grama Panchayat.
