Odisha 5t Hospitals: Now, Odisha govt focusses on hospitals for 5T transformation, Health News, ET HealthWorld
Bhubaneshwar: Ahead of the 2024 simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, the state government has decided to bring at least one hospital in each assembly seat under 5T (Mo Sarkar, a feedback-based governance model).
After transforming schools under the 5T model, the government has shifted its focus to healthcare. First phase of the 5T transformation will be conducted between January and October this year.
The first phase of transformation will cover all district headquarter hospitals (DHHs), Rourkela government hospital (RGH) and Capital Hospital Bhubaneswar. Each assembly constituency will have one health facility identified for 5T transformation.
In the assembly constituencies where DHHs, RGH or Capital Hospital are not located, selection of health facilities in those constituencies will be done on certain criteria. First referral units (FRUs) located in the assembly constituency will be given priority for transformation.
However, where the civil structure of the FRU requires major repair and is not in a fit condition to undertake transformation in 2023, an alternate health facility in sub-divisional hospitals (SDHs) or community health centres (CHCs) for the 5T transformation, said the official letter of health and family welfare department.
Where no FRU is available, in the assembly constituency, preference will be given to the highest caseload health facility in the assembly constituency (SDH/CHC) for the 5T transformation.
“Buildings that require very high expenditure on civil works should not be undertaken for this programme in the first phase. Health facilities that do not have robust patient footfall should not be undertaken for the 5T transformation,” said the official communication.
Health department secretary Shalini Pandit on Thursday urged all collectors to submit a final list of selected health facilities (one per assembly constituency) within the next five days to the mission director, national health mission (NHM).
