RESEARCH EVIDENCES Study of Rogi Kalyan samitis in strengthening health systems under national rural health mission, district Pune, Maharashtra , Neha Adsul , Manoj Kar
The study was an attempt to define 'functional Health Systems' with a focus on strategic issues concerning RKS operations . Materials and Methods: A mixed-method, multi-site, collective case study approach was adopted. In-depth interviews of key-stakeholders were conducted. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically and coded inductively. Results : RKS is yet to bring out quality component to the health services being provided through facilities. This can be attributed to structural and managerial weakness in the system; however, certainly NRHM has been consistent in creating a road-map for benefitting local community and their participation through RKS. Conclusion : The progress of the RKS can further be enhanced by giving due priority to critical areas. Furthermore, the results emphasize an urgent need for devising strategies and actions to overcome significant systemic constraints as highlighted in the present study.
CONCLUSION The NHM envisages achievement of universal access to equitable, affordable & quality health care services that are accountable and responsive to people's needs.
