(SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)
(a) to (e): “Public Health & Hospitals” being a State subject the primary responsibility for ensuring healthcare services including establishing more public health care facilities lies with respective State Government.
However, to address the healthcare challenges, particularly in rural areas, the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in 2005 to supplement the efforts of the State/UT governments to provide accessible, affordable and quality healthcare to all those who access public health facilities. Currently, NRHM is a sub-mission of National Health Mission (NHM).
NHM support is provided to States/ UTs for setting up of new facilities as per norms and upgradation of existing facilities for bridging the infrastructure gaps and to fill up the vacancies of Human Resource on contractual basis based on the requirement posed by them. Similarly, the establishment of new CGHS centres at new location from time to time depends on the established norms like number of CGHS beneficiaries subject to availability of resources. At present, there is no such proposal under consideration.

RHS provides information on rural health infrastructure and requirements of public health facilities in rural areas as reported by States.
