## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV)

(a) to (e): Under National Health Mission (NHM), the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare provides technical and financial support to the States/UTs to strengthen the public healthcare system, based on the proposals received in the form of Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs) under National Health Mission. Government of India provides approval for the proposal in the form of Record of Proceedings (RoPs) as per norms & available resources.

The Government of India supported States/UTs by setting up and operationalizing 1225 sites (1287 PSA Plants) under PM-CARES Fund with a mandate of at least 1 PSA plant in each district of the country. Accordingly, 40 PSA plants were allocated to Haryana by Government of India. Details of PSA plants installed in Sonipat and Hisar are placed as Annexure . Further, 1864 oxygen concentrators have been allocated during COVID-19 pandemic to Haryana, with the responsibility of equipment internal distribution and maintenance through State administration.

The Ministry supports 'Free Diagnostics Service Initiative' programme under NHM with the aim to provide accessible and affordable pathological and radiological diagnostics services closer to the community, which in turn reduces the Out-of-Pocket Expenditure (OOPE). Diagnostics services are provided free of cost at all levels of public health facilities (14 tests at Sub Centers, 63 at Primary Health Centers, 97 at Community Health Centres, 111 test at Sub District Hospitals and 134 tests at District Hospitals).

To ensure availability of essential drugs and reduce the OOPE of the patients visiting the public health facilities, Government has rolled out the Free Drugs Service Initiative under NHM. This includes financial support to States/UTs for 106 drugs at SHC level, 172 at PHC level, 300 at CHC level, 318 at SDH level and 381 drugs at district Hospitals. An amount of ₹946.60 lakh has been approved for Free Drugs under SPIP for 2025-26.

The Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) are essential benchmarks that ensure the delivery of minimum essential services through public healthcare facilities, including District Hospitals, Sub-District Hospitals, Community Health Centers, Primary Health Centers, and Sub Health Centre. Developed in 2007 and revised in 2012 and 2022, these standards align with recent public health initiatives and are fundamental to our healthcare system. The IPHS guidelines help states plan and meet crucial standards, leading to better health outcomes and increased public trust in the healthcare system.

The Ministry has developed an open-source toolkit and a web-based dashboard (www.iphs.mohfw.gov.in) launched under IPHS on 28th June 2024 to facilitate selfassessment by all levels of facilities including Ayushman Arogya Mandirs. The IPHS Dashboard is designed to monitor public health facilities' compliance with the IPHS 2022 standards and offers real-time updates, enabling oversight and data-driven decision-making to identify gaps and facilitate timely interventions.

The norms set for the basic infrastructure of Government hospitals in the country is as per Government of India IPHS 2022 Guidelines. The details of the norms set for the basic infrastructure are available at the below link:

https://nhsrcindia.org/IPHS2022

The Emergency COVID Response Package (ECRP) was launched as a comprehensive initiative to support States/UTs in managing the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The package enabled rapid procurement of medical equipment, enhanced availability of human resources, and facilitated improved surveillance and diagnostic capabilities to effectively tackle the pandemic and future health emergencies. Under this initiative, Central releases to the State of Haryana included 194.95 crore under ECRP-I and Rs. 182.42 crore under ECRP-II .

The State of Haryana has implemented the Drug and Vaccine Distribution Management System (DVDMS) to ensure uninterrupted supply of medicines and reduce shortages. This enables real-time tracking of stock availability, distribution, and expiry across health facilities that ensures data-driven monitoring and timely replenishment. Support under the scheme is available for Procurement of drugs and strengthening /setting up robust systems of procurement, Quality Assurance, Supply chain management and warehousing, Prescription audit, grievance redressal, dissemination of Standard Treatment Guidelines and Establishment of IT enabled platform DVDMS (Drugs & Vaccine Distribution Management System) for monitoring the real status of procurement and availability of essential medicines.
