ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND
FAMILY WELFARE
(SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)
Public Health and hospitals being a State subject, the primary responsibility to provide healthcare services lies with the respective State Government.
However, under the National Health Mission (NHM), technical and financial support is provided to States/UTs to strengthen their healthcare systems, based on the requirements posed by the States/UTs in their Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs). This includes support for provision of healthcare services through Public Private Partnership mode. Under NHM, States may contract in or outsource those services which improve efficiency and quality of care in the public health facilities or close the existing critical gaps. The engagement/involvement of private healthcare providers is envisaged only till public health facility/system is strengthened enough to deliver intended services.
The details of the initiatives undertaken by NE States in partnership with private healthcare providers, is annexed.
