Dr. Desai briefly outlined the procedure of setting up of nodal centres, tertiary training centres in medical colleges as well as setting up of nearby district hospitals for practical training of govt. doctors working in FRU’s for 16 weeks competency based EmOC certification course. She also explained the role of FOGSI/ICOG and Govt. of India for training of non skilled doctors working in rural areas for EmOC. Currently, 14 EmOC tertiary training centres in 12 states of India, namely state of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, Haryana, Maharashtra & Karnataka are either functioning or in the process of being certified.
By next year, with the technical assistance from JHPIEGO there will be 4 functioning nodal centres for training of master trainers. Thus EmOC programme will be implemented rapidly all over India. Dr. Desai reported that till date, 84 MBBS doctors have completed 16 weeks long course & 104 doctors have completed 3 weeks short course. Once all 14 Tertiary training centres will start functioning, we will be able to train many more MBBS doctors in the year 2008. Dr. Desai also informed that monitoring & evaluation of EmOC doctors has already been carried out by independent person using UN indicators. The initial results are very encouraging. In the year 2007, FOGSI/ICOG have got further financial assistance from MacArthur foundation of US $ 1,85000, from AMDD of US $ 45,000, from Govt. of India - Rupees 14.5 Lacs, State of Haryana – Rupees 41 Lacs & State of Karnataka - Rupees 43 Lacs for setting up the nodal centres & for scaling up of monitoring & evaluation. Currently, UNICEF is financing the cost of maintaining 5 EmOC tertiary centres. JHPIEGO has continued to give technical support for EmOC programme for one more year. Dr. Desai thanked Dr. Dileep Mavalankar for his guidance for running the EmOC programme.
Item No.10 Report of accreditation of Nursing Homes by FOGSI members By Dr.Duru Shah.
Accreditation of Nursing Homes of FOGSI Members for Reproductive, Maternal, neonatal & child health services (RMNCH)Background
A meeting with the Health Secretary of Government of India was held in April 2006 by Dr Duru Shah, President FOGSI 2006. During the meeting, an offer was made by her to offer subsidized deliveries for BPL families at Nursing Homes of FOGSI members. The Government of India requested FOGSI to submit a proposal to develop criteria, which would help to accredit such Nursing Homes. The Ministry of Health requested FOGSI to prepare the Accreditation criteria on basis of which the accreditation would be done.
Proposal & budget
A proposal was submitted on 11.6.2006 and the same was accepted by the Government in October 2006. The budget was approved on 26.12.2006 by WHO (World Health Organization) for
Rs.3,621,725/- (36 lakhs 21 thousand seven hundred and twenty five) for Phase I of the program with a suggestion that the criteria be developed by the ICOG.
Plan of Action
- Phase I – to develop Accreditation criteria
- Phase II – To accredit Nursing Homes of FOGSI members for recognition by Government of India for their Janani Suraksha Yojana & RCH II program including MTP recognition, etc.
Current Status:
- Avni Health Foundation have been appointed as Consultants for this project.
- The Technical Expert Committee as suggested by Government of India and WHO have been appointed.
- The National Advisory Committee comprises of ICOG & FOGSI office bearers, 5 Chairpersons of FOGSI Committees and 4 zonal ICOG members as zonal representatives.
- Directive by WHO on Time frame was given. But as WHO sent the cheque only in end of March 2007 instead of January 2007, the project commenced 3 months later and hence Phase I of the project which was to be completed between January 2007 to December 2007 will be completed by March 2008 instead.
- A total of 4 Technical expert group meetings were held in Delhi.
- Provisional document has been prepared and will be ready for field testing within 2 weeks. N. Homes to be accredited as Level I, II, III depending on bed strength and facilities.
