(BP Sharma) New Delhi (Jagat Prakash Nadda) 28th October, 2015 Message The Common Review Mission (CRM) is an important review and monitoring mechanism to assess the progress of NHM. CRM reports provide insights on the progress made as well as critical gaps yet to be plugged and emerging needs. These reports also reflect that people's expectations from the Mission have increased. The Common Review Mission findings also provide an opportunity to the States to adopt appropriate strategies and address critical gaps in governance. Along with the progress made on the infrastructure, service delivery, increased patient load and institutional deliveries, the findings of the Mission points to various deficiencies that we all need to take note of and work upon. The recommendations from this review mission have emphasized the need for increased availability of human resources, enhancing quality of health care delivery, strengthening community support and accountability mechanisms and increased convergence with the related departments. I am sure that States will incorporate these suggestions into their State Implementation Plans. On behalf of the National Health Mission, I convey my thanks and appreciation to all the team members who travelled to 15 States and prepared this report thus offering a learning experience for us all. The observations provided in this report will help us take the mission forward. I also thank all those who have worked tirelessly for the success of the National Health Mission. (BP Sharma) New Delhi 28th October, 2015 MESSAGE The National Rural Health Mission, in its first phase laid the foundation for re-vitalization of primary health care in the nation. The second phase, named National Health Mission - which also included the Urban Health Mission, has seen a renewed commitment to strengthening of public health systems at all levels - from sub-centers to tertiary care facilities. The remarkable increase in utilization of public health care services reassures of the confidence that NHM has given to people across the nation. The Mission has made a major contribution in strengthening health-care infrastructure at all levels - from the sub-center to district hospital. The other major areas strengthened under NHM have been - community processes and participation to strengthen the demand side, making all health care services for pregnant women and newborns completely free of cost and a push towards governance reforms. I am happy to read from this report that there is a marked increase in number of out- patients, admissions, institutional deliveries and major surgeries across the country in public health institutions. There has also been considerable increase in the range and quality of services being provided. In particular, district hospitals and block level PHCs have been strengthened and are delivering a wide range of services. Cold chain gaps in immunization are more or less completely attended to and delivery of immunization services has been streamlined. I also note that the CRM has confirmed substantial increase in utilisation of emergency transport services as well as in-facility-based-care for the sick children. Mobile Medical Units are also deployed in most of the difficult-to-reach areas. However, I also note that there are many areas where the progress has been inadequate- especially in some of the States which face the greatest challenges. Now, we will need to focus attention on these areas - both in the form of providing additional support and monitoring. We also need to develop better and more inclusive strategy for building institutional capacity by leveraging partnerships with medical colleges, schools of public health and civil society. I wish to thank and assure all stakeholders and participants in this review process, that the Mission takes observations as well as recommendations of CRM very seriously and uses it to draw a meticulous schedule for monitoring follow up actions - particularly for those geographic and thematic areas, where support is most needed. I thank all the participants of the 8th CRM for their time and effort, and invite them to remain partners in the process of follow up and implementation of the recommendations.
