Immunization of Children
Posted On: 15 MAR 2021 2:39PM by PIB
The
full immunization coverage stands at 92.8%, as per HMIS data from April 2019 to
March 2020. However, still there are pockets where children remain deprived of
completing the doses of vaccination, on account of various reasons, such as:
(i) lack of awareness of benefit of Immunization, (ii) apprehensions of Adverse
Event Following Immunization (AEFI), (iii) Child travelling, (iv) refusal for
vaccination and (v) operational gaps.
Special
vaccination drives like Mission Indradhanush, Intensified Mission Indradhanush,
Gram SwarajAbhiyaan (GSA), Extended GSA have been carried out to reach the left
out and drop out children from vaccination.
Further,
to mitigate low immunization coverage, strategic interventions like advocacy,
social mobilization, community engagement, inter personal communication at
family level and media engagement are undertaken.
The
targeted steps being taken by the Government in spreading awareness about the
immunization in children across the country are:
·
Awareness generation through electronic and print media like
radio spots, television, poster, hoardings etc.
·
Inter personal communication by front line health workers like
Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) and Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs)
·
Utilizing social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook,
WhatsApp and print media platforms.
·
Social mobilization by Accredited Social Health Activists
(ASHAs) and other community workers. The workers are incentivized for same.
The
activities are undertaken by Government bodies in coordination with
Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)
Under
Mission Indradhnaush and Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI) drives,
specific immunization sessions are conducted in pockets with low immunization
coverage and hard to reach areas where the proportion of unvaccinated and
partially vaccinated children is highest.
The
Minister of State (Health and Family Welfare), Sh. Ashwini Kumar Choubey stated
this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha here today.

Services at Government Hospitals
Posted On: 15 MAR 2021 2:39PM by PIB
“Public
Health & Hospital” being a State subject, the primary responsibility to
provide adequate healthcare services in public health facilities including the
Government Hospitals across the country lies with the State Governments.
To
address the healthcare challenges, particularly in rural areas, the National
Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in 2005 to supplement the efforts of
the State/UT governments to provide accessible, affordable and quality
healthcare to all those who access public health facilities. Currently, NRHM is
a sub-mission of National Health Mission (NHM).
This
support under NHM includes provision of a host of free services related to
maternal health, child health, adolescent health, family planning, universal
immunisation programme, and for major diseases such as Tuberculosis, HIV/ AIDS,
vector borne diseases like Malaria, Dengue and Kala Azar, Leprosy etc.
Other
major initiatives include JananiShishuSurakshaKaryakram (JSSK) (under which
free drugs, free diagnostics, free blood and diet, free transport from home to
institution, between facilities in case of a referral and drop back home is
provided), Rashtriya Bal SwasthyaKaryakram (RBSK) (which provides newborn and
child health screening and early interventions services free of cost for birth
defects, diseases, deficiencies and developmental delays to improve the quality
of survival), implementation of Free Drugs and Free Diagnostics Service
Initiatives, PM National Dialysis Programme and implementation of National
Quality Assurance Framework.
Mobile
Medical Units (MMUs) & Telemedicine are also being implemented with NHM
support to improve healthcare access particularly in rural areas.
As
part of Ayushman Bharat, the Government is supporting the States for
strengthening Sub Centres and Primary Health Centres as Health and Wellness
Centres (AB-HWCs) for provision of comprehensive primary health care that
includes preventive healthcare and health promotionat the community level with
continuum of care approach.
Further,
Ayushman Bharat, PradhanMantri Jan ArogyaYojana (AB-PMJAY) provides health
coverage up to Rs. 5.00 lakh per family per year to around 10.74 crore poor and
vulnerable families as per Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC). In so far as
implementation of PMJAY is concerned, Public hospitals are reimbursed for the
healthcare services at par with the private hospitals under the scheme.
As
public health is a State subject, the responsibility of ensuring availability
of required medical equipment in the hospitals lie with the respective State
Governments.
In
the Budget speech of FY 21-22, ‘Prime
Minister AtmanirbharSwasth Bharat Yojana’ (PM-ASBY) scheme has been announced
for an amount of Rs. 64180 Crores. The proposed scheme has a
Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) component of establishing 50 or 100 bedded
critical care blocks for the treatment of infectious diseases in 602 districts
of the country and also has a Central Sector component of setting up 150 bedded
critical care blocks in 12 Central Institutions.
No
such target has been set for COVID-19 vaccination, However, the National Expert
Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 (NEGVAC) has prioritized Health
Care Workers, Front Line Workers, persons aged 60 years and above, and those
aged between 45 to 59 years with identified comorbidities for COVID-19
vaccination.
Presently,
vaccination of Health Care Workers, Front Line Workers, persons aged 60 years
and above, and those aged between 45 to 59 years with identified comorbidities
is going on at government and private COVID19 Vaccination Centres.
The
Minister of State (Health and Family Welfare), Sh. Ashwini Kumar Choubey stated
this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha here today.
