Chhattisgarh health dept and Tata Trust collaborate to transform 23 Urban PHCs into Model Hamar Hospitals
Raipur: The State Government, National Health Mission, and CNIN have collaborated to establish 23 urban primary health centres in the state as model ‘Hamar’ hospitals. These facilities have been providing exceptional healthcare services to local residents. Impressively, 14 out of the 23 centres have received the prestigious National Quality Assurance Standard (NQAS) certificate from the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, further validating their commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare services.
A concluding programme was held at a private hotel in Nava Raipur earlier this week to mark the completion of the Model Urban Primary Health Centre and Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) project in Chhattisgarh, undertaken by CNIN. The organisation collaborated with Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital to screen and treat children with CHD. During the event, the dedicated staff from all 23 model Hamar hospitals were honoured. The programme also featured a panel discussion on ‘Primary Health Care among Urban Populations’ and a workshop on ‘Workplace Happiness’ for the hospital staff. Additionally, CNIN unveiled a booklet showcasing their exemplary ‘Adarsh Hamar Hospital’ Project in Chhattisgarh.
Tata Trusts, in collaboration with the Chhattisgarh Government, has successfully implemented the Model Urban Primary Health Centre project as part of the Chhattisgarh Health Systems Strengthening Initiative. Launched in 2019, this initiative aimed to transform 23 urban primary health centres into model Hamar hospitals, equipped with child-friendly vaccination rooms, patient-centred facilities, and the integration of digital technologies. The project also focused on enhancing pharmacy services, expanding the range of medical tests and medicines, and improving the efficiency of the healthcare staff. The success of these model hospitals has prompted plans to develop other urban primary health centres in the state along the same lines. In addition, Tata Trusts has partnered with Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital to provide early detection and treatment for congenital heart diseases (CHD), reflecting their commitment to making healthcare accessible to all.
