Name of the project: Effect of NRHM in Upgrading Primary Health Centre
Applicant: Primary Health Centre, Tamil Nadu
Implementing Agency: Primary Health Centre
About the project: The Morappur Panchayat Union Dispensary was started in the year 1978 in a small house near the Morappur bus stand and was named as Primary Health Center (PHC) in 1981. In 1985, a new building was constructed and it started functioning as an additional Primary Health Center with six sub centres and a village panchayats covering a population of 37,562 in and around Morappur village in Tamil Nadu.
Objective: Effect of NRHM for PHC
Target Group: All needy people
Strength areas: Before this centre, most of the people were dependent on the private clinics or had to travel for far flung areas. Thus the PHC has successfully extended healthcare to these people.
Achievements: This is the first PHC which has library with IEC materials, medicine, nursing care, books etc. It is also an eco-friendly hospital with well maintained premises. The centre has been included for Janani Sunaksha Yojana and Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy Scheme funds.
Challenges: It was difficult to make people accept the idea initially, it was also a challenge before us to create neat and clean environment with minimal staffs. It was difficult to implement 24 X 7 staff availability. However, with appropriate strategies, we were able to face these hurdles.
