At the State level, a State Health Mission headed
by the Chief Minister has been constituted with similar
composition, as that of the National Steering Group.
State Health Mission’s roles include the following:
Actively
undertake Policy and Institutional Reforms to enable effective
implementation of NRHM
The State will review and amend existing policies
(cadre management arrangements, financial and administrative
authority at various levels, role of PRIs, procurement and
logistics systems etc.) to ensure that the policy environment is
consistent with the Mission objectives. Additional resources to
be provided to the states under the Mission would require policy
reforms to be in place.
State level planning, implementation and monitoring
The State Health Plan (long term/annual) has been
developed in accordance with the GoI Guidelines and necessary
approvals from GoI and signing of a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with the MoHFW need to be taken. Implementation will have
to be facilitated in line with the approved plan, monitor and
take corrective action as and when necessary and carry out
independent impact assessment studies (base-line, periodic) and
take appropriate corrective action.
Support District level planning, implementation
and monitoring
The State will provide support in preparation of
health plans by districts in accordance with the GoI guidelines
through mobilization of technical assistance. The District
Action Plans will be assessed on the basis of appropriate
evaluation criteria that have to be made available to the
districts in advance. A system for monitoring performance of
districts against their own work plans and comparison across
districts will also be developed.
Provide Training support to districts
Various training programmes are being developed
including management training modules for the programme managers
and the staff of the State and district societies, designing
“multi-skilling” training packages for doctors (e.g. anesthesia
training for MBBS doctors) and paramedical workers (e.g.
“multi-skilling” of lab technicians) and facilitate selection
and training.
Coordination across relevant departments
Mechanisms have been put in place to ensure
coordination across Departments especially Health and Family
Welfare, AYUSH, Department of Women and Children, and the Public
Health and Engineering Department; to identify bottlenecks for
effective delivery of services and to take necessary action
through government orders or other means.
Sharing of experiences across districts
Workshops will be conducted during various phases
to disseminate experiences/ innovations/ lessons learnt across
districts.
Management of cash flows
Processes are being put in place for annual/
quarterly cash flow projections; closely monitoring and
highlighting, well in advance, anticipated temporary shortage of
funds. It will be ensured that funds are released to districts
in accordance with the agreed district plans. The State will
ensure that districts send their expenditure reports and other
consolidated statements to GoI/ concerned agencies. Stringent
monitoring mechanisms will be in place to ensure that all
conditions are met for subsequent release of fund tranches.
Financial accounting/ administration
The State will ensure maintenance of necessary
books of accounts and ensure adherence to procedures laid out
for procurements and payments. They will carry out audits of a
sample of districts in each quarter, and facilitate the sharing
of audit findings across all districts.
In
order to meet the above objectives/ outcomes and carry out
necessary tasks, the state has registered a single State Health
Society through merger of all state level societies in the
Health and Family Welfare sector, except the State Aids Control
Society. These Societies will maintain separate Bank Accounts
even under the unified structure. Funds for separate programmes
would continue to flow under Sub-Budget Heads of the omnibus
NRHM Budget Head. The Integrated State Health and Family Welfare
Society has a full-time secretariat to act as the State
Programme Management Support Unit (SPMSU), headed by a full time Executive
Director. The SPMSU will (a) assist the Directorate of Health &
FW in implementation, (b) act as the coordinating agency with
other Departments for the Mission and (c) perform the role of
the secretariat of the State Health Mission.
