Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda on Tuesday released the National Health
Profile (NHP) 2018, a major aid to policy makers, and launched the
National Health Resource Repository (NHRR) project, which does the
institutional profiling of the country.
"National Health Profile
is the most acclaimed publication which provides vital information on
demography, socio economic status, health status including morbidity and
mortality, health finance, human resources and health infrastructure,"
he said.
NHP, brought out annually by Central Bureau of Health
Intelligence (CBHI) since 2005, is widely used by government departments
and institutions, policy makers, planners, administrators, researchers
and academicians involved with health sector development.
"Data
is an indispensable part of governance and such incorporation of updated
information from this publication would certainly help in policy
planning and decision making and contribute to the improvement of the
health services in the country," the minister said.
Going beyond
health profiling, the government launched NHHR in collaboration with
Indian Space Research Organisation, World Health Organisation and Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation to profile the health facilities available
in government and private sector across the country.
The
country's first health facility registry -- which is expected to list
down about 25 lakh hospitals, doctors, clinics, diagnostic labs,
pharmacies and nursing homes spread over the country on over 1,400
variables -- will enable evidence based planning and policy making,
Nadda said.
NHRR will be the ultimate platform for comprehensive
information of all healthcare establishments including health facilities
of Railways, Employee's State Insurance Corporation, defence and
petroleum. It will be IT-enabled repository of India's healthcare
resources.
Nadda said: "For convergence and efficient use of
information, NHRR will be cohesively working with Ayushman Bharat and
Central TB Division on an integrated plan for the larger benefit ensuing
hospital empanelment and private sector engagement."
