Background:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The guidelines comes in the backdrop of the fact that the contribution of non-communicable diseases (NCD) to the overall disease burden in the country has increased over the years. In the past many district hospitals in the country have focused mainly on communicable diseases and reproductive and child health. As a result of which the capacity for handling NCD cases has not been adequately developed.<\/p>\n

Health and wellness component of Ayushman Bharat will address the requirements of preventive and promotive health services through Health & Wellness Centres. Despite the best intent to promote wellness and deliver a broad range of services through these Centres, some cases will require hospitalized treatment and will spill over to district hospitals.<\/p>\n

Presently, in India patients have to travel long distances for availing medical services for NCDs due to urban bias in the availability of private health care, especially secondary and tertiary care which is disproportionately skewed towards Tier-1 cities. The patients in mofussil towns and rural areas are largely underserviced. In this context, PPP for NCDs in district hospitals will play a pivotal role in ensuring the availability of the services at least at the district headquarters.<\/p>\n

The Model Concessionaire Agreement and the guidelines co-locating private players for the Non-Communicable Diseases – Cardiac, Oncology, and Pulmonary diseases at district hospital covers the rationale, roles and responsibilities, partnership structure, governance and management structure etc.\u00a0These PPP guidelines and MCA target the critical gaps that can be filled by \u2018strategic purchasing\u2019 in public health services highlighted in the National Health Policy 2017.\u00a0 This would play a key role in directing private investment towards those areas and those services for which currently there are no providers or few providers.<\/p>\n

The MCA and Guidelines for the provision of prevention and treatment services for NCDs could be adapted and customized by each State to ultimately develop appropriate strategies in accordance with the requirements provided in these documents. This will make it easier for the State to use these templates and modify them appropriately to invite bidders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
