The data analysis was completed and district level reports on mapping of health facilities are in progress. This was perhaps the first study of its kind in the state of Madhya Pradesh. It 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 useful for micro-level planning and implementation of health programmes in the state. It would also help the State Government and other agencies 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 in strengthening public private partnership (PPP) in implementing various health programmes.
