Mapping of health facilities in Madhya Pradesh

Agency : Directorate of Health Services, Government of Madhya Pradesh

The major objective of the study was to conduct mapping of public and private health facilities in all the 48 districts of Madhya Pradesh. This was perhaps the first of its kind in the state which provides a comprehensive picture of public and private health facilities in the districts and contains vital information on location, operational timings, type and ownership pattern, availability of services, physical infrastructure, wards and beds, diagnostic services, major equipment, human resources, level of utilization of basic services and structure of fees and charges. The present database would be very useful for effective micro planning and better implementation of national health programmes. It would also help in assessing availability of services, duplication or overlapping between the public and private facilities, identifying the underserved areas to quantify the level of additional investment required and relocating of existing facilities for achieving better efficiency. The information would also facilitate public-private partnerships (PPP) in implementing various health programmes for better health outcomes. The district level reports of all the districts have been submitted to the Government of Madhya Pradesh.
