An emerging public health challenge is the rising occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCD). According to Non-communicable Diseases Country Profi les, WHO 2011, these are esti mated to account for 53% of all deaths in India. | 175 | definition | 1.000 | An emerging public health challenge is the rising occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCD). | 27 | page=27,block=1 | 0.850 | valid |
| What assumption is the staffing pattern based on? | based on the assumption that LHVs are in place to provide first level supervision | • Key cross cutting functions – facility operationalisation, training and quality assurance systems – should be under the purview of the District Programme Management Unit which could be strengthened accordingly. The above staffing pattern is based on the assumption that LHVs are in place to provide first level supervision. Further, the number of additional staff would need to be determined by each state on the basis of estimated workload and the extent of supervision required. | 243 | definition | 1.000 | The above staffing pattern is based on the assumption that LHVs are in place to provide first level supervision. | 55 | page=55,block=1 | 0.850 | valid |

Another initiative is the community monitoring where ‘jan sanvaad and sunwai’ could be held and system put in place for taking remedial action. Examples of demonstrated initiatives to improve accountability in HR related aspects could include ensuring that the staff has job descriptions with clearly defined indicators of performance, and performance monitoring against targets forms an integral part of the performance appraisal system. | 279 | definition | 1.000 | Another initiative is the community monitoring where ‘jan sanvaad and sunwai’ could be held and system put in place for taking remedial action. | 57 | page=57,block=1 | 0.850 | valid |
| What does the term 'score card' refer to in the context of monitoring and reviewing progress? | two distinct but related management tools: (1) HMIS based dashboard monitoring system and (2) Survey based child survival score card | A new initiative for monitoring and reviewing the progress is the introduction of the ‘score card’. The score card refers to two distinct but related management tools: (1) HMIS based dashboard monitoring system and (2) Survey based child survival score card. The dashboard seeks to improve accountability in the public health system and catalyse states into using the HMIS data for improved decision-making; a comparative assessment of state and district performance in terms of service delivery is proposed on a quarterly/year to quarter basis. | 125 | definition | 1.000 | The score card refers to two distinct but related management tools: (1) HMIS based dashboard monitoring system and (2) Survey based child survival score card. | 59 | page=59,block=1 | 0.850 | valid |
| What is one focus area for preventing malnutrition in children through community efforts? | the active prevention of malnutrition in children through home visits and AWCs, where both ASHA and AWW must act in synergy | One major area of synergy is to establish the programme for community-based management of children with severe acute malnutrition. Another area is the active prevention of malnutrition in children through home visits and AWCs, where both ASHA and AWW must act in synergy. In addition, counselling and treatment for pregnancy anaemia, promotion of early initiation and exclusive breast feeding, and complementary feeding practices will be the areas that will need common approaches and integration among the departments at all levels of the health system. | 147 | definition | 1.000 | Another area is the active prevention of malnutrition in children through home visits and AWCs, where both ASHA and AWW must act in synergy. | 71 | page=71,block=1 | 0.850 | valid |
| What role is NRHM intended to play in implementing national programs? | a benchmark for sustained and dedicated implementation of national programme | It is now important that we follow the strategic direction, make use of available resources and set NRHM as a benchmark for sustained and dedicated implementation of national programme. Opportunities like this - to make wide ranging interventions and to invest in quality of services in the field of RMNCH+A - come rarely to be handled through a mission approach. I hope that A Strategic Approach to Reproductive, Maternal, New-born, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) in India will take India closer to achieving its national health gaols and the Millennium Development Goals 4 & 5.

Pradhan Secretary Health and Family Welfare Government of India | 108 | definition | 1.000 | It is now important that we follow the strategic direction, make use of available resources and set NRHM as a benchmark for sustained and dedicated implementation of national programme. | 6 | page=6,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What does the Continuum of Care approach focus on? | defining and implementing evidence-based packages of services for different stages of the lifecycle, at various levels in the health system | These together constitute the ‘Continuum of Care.’ This Continuum of Care approach of defining and implementing evidence-based packages of services for different stages of the lifecycle, at various levels in the health system,has been adopted under the national health programme.

| Why is the national health programme considered adaptable and subject to change? | new measures will be included as more evidence emerges from pilot states and from intervention research and implementation experiences from across the country | Individual states and districts would still need to translate the approach proposed here to specific actions within their own context in order to achieve state-specific targets. The document mainly refers to the measures taken so far to improve the health of women, mother and children; however, the national health programme is a dynamic and evolving one, hence new measures will be included as more evidence emerges from pilot states and from intervention research and implementation experiences from across the country. Major changes and modifications in the flagship programmes of Ministry of Women and Child Development and other Ministries and sectors are also envisaged in the 12th plan, and these are likely to have an impact on many indicators and social determinants of health and development that affect maternal and child survival. | 363 | definition | 1.000 | The document mainly refers to the measures taken so far to improve the health of women, mother and children; however, the national health programme is a dynamic and evolving one, hence new measures will be included as more evidence emerges from pilot states and from intervention research and implementation experiences from across the country. | ||||
| What tool is being introduced to improve transparency and monitor reproductive and maternal health indicators? | The national & state ‘scorecard’ | Therefore state specific coverage targets should be established against existing baselines.

More details about the score cards are presented in Chapter 8. | 92 | definition | 1.000 | Therefore state specific coverage targets should be established against existing baselines.

Weekly iron and folic acid supplementation scheme The Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) scheme is a community-based intervention that addresses nutritional (iron deficiency) anaemia amongst adolescents (boys and girls) in both rural and urban areas. It aims to cover adolescents enrolled in class VI–XII of government, government- aided and municipal schools as well as ‘out of school’ girls. | 317 | definition | 1.000 | Weekly iron and folic acid supplementation scheme The Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) scheme is a community-based intervention that addresses nutritional (iron deficiency) anaemia amongst adolescents (boys and girls) in both rural and urban areas. | 29 | page=29,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
