| What does Section 7 specify for identifying a health care facility as IPHS compliant? | the minimum Criteria for the health care facility to be identified as ‘IPHS Compliant’ | It briefly describes how IPHS can accelerate India’s progress towards achieving UHC and the Sustainable Development Goal - 3 (SDG 3) in alignment with the National Health Policy 2017. yy Section 3: This section outlines the key Objectives of the IPHS for Community Health Centres (CHC) in rural and urban areas. yy Section 4: It includes the Types or categories of CHCs, purpose of establishing them and population norms at which the non-first referral unit (FRU) CHCs, and FRU CHCs are to be established in rural as well as urban areas. yy Section 5: It includes Population Norms for all types of CHCs (Non-FRU CHC, FRU CHC, FRU UCHC). yy Section 6: It contains the General Principles that are to be adopted by the States and Union Territories (UT) to strengthen service delivery and ensure better implementation of National Health Programmes. yy Section 7: Defines the minimum Criteria for the health care facility to be identified as ‘IPHS Compliant’. yy Section 8: The section on Service Provision includes the details of: a. | 867 | definition | 1.000 | yy Section 7: Defines the minimum Criteria for the health care facility to be identified as ‘IPHS Compliant’. | ||||
| What does 'Health for All' require in terms of removing barriers to health? | the elimination of malnutrition, ignorance, disease, contaminated water supply, unhygienic housing, etc. | This was followed by the formulation and adoption of the Global strategy for ‘Health for All’ by the 34th World Health Assembly in 1981. ‘Health for All’ meant that health had to be brought within the reach of everyone in a given community. It implies the removal of obstacles to health that, is to say, the elimination of malnutrition, ignorance, disease, contaminated water supply, unhygienic housing, etc. It depends on continued progress in medicine and public health. The foundation for UHC was a universal entitlement to comprehensive health security and an all-encompassing obligation on the part of the State to provide adequate food and nutrition, appropriate medical care, access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation, education, health-related information, and other contributors to good health. | 304 | definition | 1.000 | It implies the removal of obstacles to health that, is to say, the elimination of malnutrition, ignorance, disease, contaminated water supply, unhygienic housing, etc. It depends on continued progress in medicine and public health. | 28 | page=28,block=1 | ||

While it is expected that all UCHCs will eventually provide secondary care, those unable to do so can be converted into multispecialty polyclinics to provide assured specialist day care services rather than in- patient secondary care. | 17 | definition | 1.000 | Such units where both elective and emergency surgical services of secondary level care are being provided with complimentary functional infrastructure, HR, equipment, drugs, diagnostics and support services would qualify to become FRUs. | 35 | page=35,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What are facilities expected to aim for over time in addition to essential services? | those that a facility should aspire to ultimately achieve (if not already being provided), over a period of time | Desirable services are those that a facility should aspire to ultimately achieve (if not already being provided), over a period of time, depending on the resource availability and capacity of States and also the needs of the community. The desirable services are in addition to Essential services. The details of services to be provided by CHC/ UCHC are placed at Annexure 2 & 3. To ensure continuum of care, assured referral with facility readiness to manage referred cases must be established. The referral transport network should have the requisite number of equipped ambulances (depending on population norms) with adequately trained manpower.

| What kind of environment do gardens, landscapes, and open spaces help create? | a positive, healing environment that reduces stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue. | Gardens, landscapes, and open spaces give a positive, healing environment that reduces stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue. So wherever possible, identify and promote greenery and open spaces. Herbal gardens should be promoted on the campus. A dedicated play area for children should also be identified. General greenbelts and landscaping including plantation of shrubs and trees help to a certain extent in enhancing the environmental quality. Planting of trees in internal streets and in open spaces should be done carefully to take advantage of both shade and sunshine without obstructing the flow of wind circulation and sight. Their advantage for abating glare and for providing cool and/or warm pockets in congested areas should also be taken. | 42 | definition | 1.000 | Gardens, landscapes, and open spaces give a positive, healing environment that reduces stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue.

| What function do automatic voltage regulators serve in public health facilities? | regulate fluctuating input power voltage and maintain constant output voltage | The public health facilities should have access to adequate, affordable, and reliable electricity supply. Distribution of electric load along with load balancing to various equipment and installations in a facility is very important since overloading at any point can result in a mis-happening like electric fire hazard or damage to the equipment. fluctuation in voltage also adversely affects the equipment and hence automatic voltage regulators which regulate fluctuating input power voltage and maintain constant output voltage should be provided. So, putting electrical installation is a specialised job and must be given due importance to ensure proper care with reduced risks to the patient. Adequate number of electric points on the various walls (at < 1.5 m height from the floor) needs to be ensured for easy connection. | 453 | definition | 1.000 | fluctuation in voltage also adversely affects the equipment and hence automatic voltage regulators which regulate fluctuating input power voltage and maintain constant output voltage should be provided. | 43 | page=43,block=6 |
