FOREWORD

a

As elsewhere in India, health services in Karnataka are being provided by the State at
three levels, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Over the years, Primary Health Care has
received considerable attention and resources through the State’s own funding as also
external agencies, through various EPP Projects. The main objective of these projects is
to promote integrated family welfare through strengthening of the health infrastructure
and planned improvement of the delivery system and the quality of health services at the
primary level.

The Secondary Level of Health Care, comprising all rural hospital' of varying types and
magnitude, has not, however, received attention and assistance on a similar scale. There
are also marked disparities in the availability of infrastructure and the quality of services
provided by these hospitals, across different regions in the State. The fact that the broad
network of the secondary hospitals discharging, as they do, the essential first referral
services all over the State, is only a natural and organic extension of the Primary Health
Care system has now been recognized all over the world.
The preliminary project proposal prepared earlier by the Department of Health & Family
Welfare, Government of Karnataka has now become full-fledged. A Workshop held on
Feb. 28-March 1, 1995, has provided a comprehensive set of norms for a wide range of
hospital services and facilities at different levels of Health Care. This was followed up by
setting up a large number of expert Working Groups on various components of the
Project, whose recommendations have been incorporated in this document.

The Project funded by Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau shall aim at identifying and filling
the glaring gaps within our Health Care System. This will concentrate on the upgrading
and renovation of secondary level hospitals in the Districts of Gulbarga Division. This
Division comprises four districts which are socio-economically less developed than most
other districts of Karnataka. It is hoped this project proposal will help not only in
conducting a detailed dialogue with the Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau on the Health
Systems Development project in Karnataka, but once the negotiation is completed, it will
also serve as the basis for implementation of the project itself.

I would like to place on record the Department’s sincere gratitude to Mr. H.C.
Mahadevappa, Honourable Health Minister for his constant support, and leadership. I
would also like to convey my appreciation to the members of the Project Preparation
Committee, our consultant Mr. D.V.N.Sarma and the large number of experts who have
put in tireless efforts to bring this document out in record time. My thanks are specially
due to Mr. Dieter Nassler and the members of the team of Mediconsult Management
Sdn. Bhd., Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, without whose tireless efforts the project report
could not have been completed in time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
». I

Socio-Demographic and Health Status
The available data shows that the state of Karnataka has more favourable indicators compared to India
in terms of population growth, crude birth and death rates, fertility, age at first marriage and literacy.
There is evidence of improved health status over time as measured by declining infant mortality,
especially post-neonatal mortality in urban areas, increased childhood immunizations, increased
deliveries by trained personnel, (including institutional deliveries), and control of infectious and
parasitic diseases.
However, declines in infant mortality, specifically neonatal deaths, have not continued in recent years,
especially in the rural areas. The factors associated with this need to be identified in order to plan ways
to reverse the trend. For example, raising the capability of small hospitals to control diarrhoeal diseases
and respiratory infections in infants and young children may be one measure. Hospital admissions data
further show that diseases of the circulatory system have increased in relative proportion over time and
injuries continue to feature most prominently. Public health strategies on behavioural and other risk
factors are warranted to prevent these health problems.
In terms of case-fatality, improvements in curative care appear to have occurred for some conditions,
such as neoplasms, but have worsened for others, such as conditions originating in the perinatal period.
It is felt that upgrading skills in neonatal care, especially at first referral level, would contribute to
improving infant survival.

Data on women indicate a need for far greater efforts to alleviate high maternal mortality and reduce
risks of childbearing through antenatal care, safe deliveries, identification of high-risk pregnancies for
referral and reducing adolescent pregnancies. Intervention by medical providers at the first referral
level on high-risk pregnancies and obstetric complications would be needed to reduce maternal mortality
and morbidity. Finally, improving literacy and education attainment among females would have
benefits on the health status of women as well as children.

Strengthening ofSecondary Level Hospitals in Karnataka
Primary healthcare has been advocated as ;a major strategy towards
- achieving
the goals of “Health for
All”. This strategy is based on providing and increasing preventive and basic curative care to the entire
population. The main components are the safe motherhood initiatives (birth spacing, antenatal care,
nutrition supplementation, safe delivery), breastfeeding promotion, childhood immunizations, oral
rehydration therapy and growth monitoring.

The provision of safe water supply and proper sanitation facilities are also important non-health sector
components of primary health care. Primary health care programmes in India have been a focus since
the 1970s with the nationwide Integrated Child Development services (initiated in the mid 1970s) and
the Child Survival Safe Motherhood programme (initiated in the mid 1980s). The Primary Health Care
Sector has also been the recipient of fiscal and technical support from international agencies such as the

However, with the improvements made in the area of Primary Health Care, secondary level healthcare
facilities have not received the same level of attention resulting in imbalances between primary and
secondary levels. The focus of the KfW project will thus be to address the problems of secondary level

ii

health care facilities. The objectives to meet the project goals will entail upgrading and renovation
works of all secondary level hospitals in the 2 phases in the Gulbarga Division.
!

Phase 1 will involve upgrading of 19 Hospitals and renovation works for 7 other hospitals. Upgrading
will involve adding beds to the existing bed capacity and renovation will involve improvements. The
hospitals to be upgraded ;and renovated in Phase 1 require more urgent work while the remaining
hospitals for upgrading and renovation works has been proposed for Phase 2.

¥

Planned Measures by the State Government

The Government assures that increases to the healthcare budget will continue at least in the same
proportion as in preceding years and with external funding will further strengthen the goals of achieving
“Health for .Ml”,
With the physical upgrading of the hospital facilities, the Government of Karnataka will improve the
medical services provided in the hospitals by sanctioning and filling additional doctors/specialists and
other medical staff, and also increase the operating budget especially for maintenance and drugs.
To support the plan to strengthen the secondary health care level facilities, the government is prepared
to improve cost sharing.

Project Components

The project is phased in two stages whereby stage one comprises 26 hospitals out of which 19 hospitals
will be upgraded and 7 hospitals renovated. Additional staff quarters will also be included in the
upgrading process. The total number of additional beds in phase one will be 627 beds. In phase two,
the main emphasis will be on the renovation of district hosptials including the remaining General
Hospitals or Community Health Centres.
The budget that has been allocated to strengthen the secondary level hospitals has been divided into the
following project elements:•

INTRODUCTION

The State Department of Health and Family Welfare of Karnataka, India, submitted a
proposal to Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (KfW) in March 1992 to upgrade secondary level
hospitals. Subsequent to negotiations between the Government of Germany and the
Government of Karnataka, a revised proposal was submitted by the state government in
February 1994. Thereafter, in April 1994, the Government of Germany agreed in principle to
provide financial assistance for the project.
In May 1994, a project concept paper to upgrade primary and secondary health care facilities
in Karnataka was then prepared and accepted by both KfW and the Government of Karnataka.
As per concept paper, this project comprises: (1) expansion of hospital facilities, including
infrastructure, renovation of existing buildings and mechanical and electrical services for
Primary Health Centres (PHC), Community Health Centres (CHC) and General Hospitals
(2) supply of medical equipment; (3) upgrading of maintenance facilities at District and
Division levels; and (4) training to improve knowledge and skills of health care providers.

The Districts to be covered under this project are Bidar, Raichur, Gulbarga and Bellary in the
Gulbarga Division. These constitute the least developed districts in the state, and were
selected on the basis of available health and socio-economic indicators.
During the mission of KfW from 11. - 13. June 1995 the main framework for the project had
been discussed and agreed in principle and this involves funding by KfW for upgrading and
renovation of secondary level hospitals in Gulbarga Division. The project will be implemented
m two phases. Phase one will involve Community Health Centres and General Hospitals or
Sub-District Hospitals. Phase two will involve renovation of District Hospitals and facilities
which have not been covered in the first phase. The respective Minutes of Meeting between
the State Government and KfW is enclosed in ANNEX 1.

Based on the project concept developed in May 1994, the Final Project Report describes the
selection of facilities in each district and defines the specific upgrading needs for each facility.
A team of architects and engineers visited all proposed facilities and elaborated a detailed
status of each facility. Based on the report, the scope for each hospital was defined. This
report will also qualify and quantify the other project elements and the project management
scope in further detail.
Within this project, efforts by the State Government to increase continuously the budget for
health care services, deployment of required staff and the development of a cost-sharing
mechanism will continue.

In 1991, the literacy rate among those aged seven years and above was 67 percent among
males and 44 percent among females, which is marginally higher than that for the country (64
percent for males and 39 percent for females).

The proportion of workers to total population in 1991 was 53.9 percent among males and
29.3 percent among females. The corresponding rates for 1981 were 54.6 among males and
25.3 among females. There has been a three percent shift away from agriculture and household
industry to other occupations. However, agriculture continues to be the occupation for 63
percent of the male workers.

A requisite to disease control is access to a safe water supply and proper sanitation facilities.
In regards to the former, the majority (70%) of the population in Karnataka now have safe
drinking water (TABLE 2.3) compared to about 34% a decade ago. This substantial increase
has been achieved by a concerted effort by the state authorities to identify and provide bore
wells to communities. The increased coverage is particularly substantial in the rural areas. In
addition, treated water for drinking is also supplied by the municipal council to urban and
some semi-urban areas either directly to homes or to public water tanks. In fact, the increase
in provision of safe drinking water is higher in this state than for India as a whole.

Demographic Characteristics

The compound annual growth rate of the population of Karnataka was 1.93 percent in the
decade 1981-91. Th£ decline in population growth rate has been more rapid in Karnataka than
in India. While in Karnataka, the compound annual growth rate declined from 2.40 percent
during the decade 1971-81 to 1.93 percent in 1981-91. that for India declined marginally from
2.23 percent to 2.16 percent.

In 1991, the urban population accounted for 30.91 percent of the population of the State as
compared to 25.71 percent for India. Nearly 30 percent of the urban population of the State
lives in Bangalore Urban Agglomeration and another 35 percent in twenty urban
ag^omera^ons with population over 100,000. The remaining 35 percent of the urban
population live in 233 towns. The rural population is distributed over 27,024 villages.
The sex ratio expressed as the number of females to thousand males declined from 963 in 1981
to 960 in 1991 in the State. Similar decline occurred at the national level (934 in 1981 to 927
in 1991).
The mean age at marriage of females in Karnataka was estimated for the year 1981 at 19.2
years as compared to 18.3 years for the country.

• Literacy percent among population aged 7 years and over

Generally, Gulbarga Division, comprising the districts of Gulbarga, Bellary, Bidar and Raichur
along with Bijapur district in Belgaum Division, is the most backward in terms of health and
socio-economic indicators. These above five districts show higher growth rates over the ten
year period for the years 1981-91. The highest growth was, however, registered in Bangalore
District, reflecting rural-urban migration and rapid urban growth. The population growth rate
for the decade 1981-911 declined in all districts excepting Bidar, Bijapur, Gulbarga and
Raichur. The annual compound growth rate of the population of these four districts increased
from 1.99 percent in the decade 1971-81 to 2.25 percent in the decade 1981-91, suggesting
that the decline in mortality has been more than the decline in fertility On the other hand,the

annual compound growth rate declined in the remaining sixteen districts from 2.50 percent
during the decade 1971-81 to 1.85 percent during the decade 1981-91.
The sex-ratio is the most favourable in Mysore Division, with Dakshina Kannada and Hassan
boasting of a female to male sex- ratio of over 1.0. This division also has the highest mean age
at marriage. Conversely, the lowest mean age exists in the four districts of Gulbarga Division
together with the adjacent Bijapur district. Crude birth rate is also significantly higher in this
part of the State and female literacy is lowest in the Gulbarga Division. Similarly, the Gulbarga
Divisions Districts have relatively lower per capita income levels

In general, one can state that there is a North South divide with the Southern parts of the
State, being somewhat better placed in demographic status, compared to their Northern
counterparts.

Morbidity
4

According to the Forty Second Round of the National Sample Survey conducted in 1986-87,
40.3 persons per thousand population suffered from some ailment or other during the 30 days
preceding the date of interview and 89.6 percent of them consulted a doctor. During the
preceding year, 21.8 per thousand population were admitted as inpatients.

3.1.1. Morbidity Pattern Among Users of Government Facilities
The estimates of outpatients and inpatients per thousand population per year for the
government hospitals derived from the findings of the Forty Second Round of National
Sample Survey conducted in 1986-87 were 168.2 and 12.0 respectively. These estimates are
close to those estimated from data on morbidity compiled from returns submitted by hospitals
in the government sector for the year 1992. The average number of registrations in outpatient
department is 176.8 per thousand population and for inpatients it is 12.3 per thousand
population.

Between 1982 and 1992 there has been an overall increase in outpatient consultations as well
as inpatient admissions. The outpatients have increased by 47 percent, the inpatients by 65
percent, while the increase in total population has been 21 percent. The increase in treatment
as outpatients for the respiratory, digestive, genito-urinary systems, complications due to
pregnancy and the puerperium, injuries and poisoning has been above the average of all
diseases.

The increase in inpatients for treatment of infectious diseases, neoplasms, endocrine,
nutritional & metabolic diseases and immunity disorders, mental disorders, diseases of
circulatory system, diseases of genito-urinary system, complications due to pregnancy and the
puerperium, diseases due to injuries and poisoning, has also been higher than the increase in
total hospital admissions. The increase in inpatients between the years 1982 and 1992 may be
due to increase in morbidity level or in utilisation of hospital services or both.
Clearly, a substantial proportion of admissions are due to accidental injuries. It is assumed
that a large proportion of these are related to motor vehicle and occupational injuries. Bums
from domestic accidents, e.g., with kerosene stoves, are probably also common.
Environmental and occupational safety could be improved through public education using
effective information, education and communication (IEC) strategies to reduce hospital
admissions of this type and the resultant burden on hospital care.

3.1.2. Death Rate of Inpatients

The deaths in hospitals for treatment of various diseases has increased from 1.77 percent of
hospital admissions in 1982 to 2.63 percent in 1992. The disease groups in which the death
rate has increased by more than 80 percent are diseases of the circulatory system, congenital
anomalies, conditions originating in the perinatal period, ill-defined conditions and injury and
poisoning.
During the same period the number of patients admitted in government hospitals has increased
from 332,546 to 548,812 representing an increase of 65.0 percent putting pressure on hospital
facilities. The pressure on hospitals to admit more patients without commensurate increase in
infrastructure and other facilities may have resulted in increased mortality among hospital
inpatients.

The data on deaths among inpatients of government hospitals by disease group is presented
for the years 1982 and 1992 in Table 3.2.

A breakdown by location shows that the relative stabilisation of, or slight increase in, infant
mortality occurs in rural Karnataka, whereas the urban data continues to improve (Table 3.4).
Furthermore, neonatal mortality has also increased slightly since 1981, more so in the rural
reported rates, compared to the country wherein substantial gains have been achieved (Table
3.4). Post-neonatal mortality, on the other hand, has declined in Karnataka, albeit far less
than that seen in India. In addition, this decline has occurred largely for the urban areas. The
stable infant mortality rates, thus, appears to be related to lack of improvements in deaths in
the neonatal period. This influence is significant because over 70% of infant mortality occurs
in the neonatal period.
It is generally recognised that neonatal mortality has a closer relationship with maternal risk
factors, such as nutritional status and parity, and factors at time of delivery. The contributions
of low birth weight, prematurity, congenital abnormality and declines in breastfeeding practice
to infant deaths cannot be inferred in the absence of data. Nonetheless, these factors are most

probably relevant in the case of Karnataka. Earlier, it was shown that hospital-based deaths
due to perinatal conditions and congenital abnormalities have increased in the state. Based on
hospital treatments per 1000 population, data also indicates an increase in congenital
abnormalities from 0.06 in 1982 to 0.11 in 1992 (Directorate of Health, Karnataka State).
Part of this may be due to improved diagnosis. Post-neonatal mortality tends to be associated
with environmental factors, such as quality of drinking water and sanitation, contributing to
diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory infections. In this case, there has been some success in
controlling these, particularly in urban Karnataka. This is supported by the hospital morbidity­
data, described above.

In contrast, stillbirth rates have increased for the state as well as for India (Table 3.4). Clearly,
however, the increase is far more in Karnataka, which has a much higher stillbirth rate (1991
data). The sharp rise in still birth rates could be due to improved registration of pregnancies
and reporting arising partly from increased deliveries by trained Personnel. Previously, more
stillbirths may not be reported.
Apart from improved registration and reporting, it is
interesting to note that the highest increase in stillbirths have occurred in urban India.

Causes of Death

During the decade 1981-91, the share of deaths due to parasitic diseases declined while that
due to diseases of the circulatory system increased. The share of deaths among female^ due to
complications of pregnancy and child birth declined.
In 1991, diseases of the circulatory system constituted the single largest cause of*deaths (23.5
%) followed by infectious and parasitic diseases (19.6%). Injury and poisoning took the third
place (14.6%). The fourth place was taken by conditions originating in the perinatal period
(8.8%). Diseases of the respiratory system and diseases of the nervous system came fifth and
sixth, accounting for 7.8% and 6.1% of deaths respectively. These six diseases accounted for
80.4 percent of deaths.
Analysis by age revealed that infant deaths formed 12.9 percent of total deaths. The major
causes of infant deaths were slow foetal growth, foetal malnutrition and immaturity (28.7%),
hypoxia, birth asphyxia and other respiratory conditions (20.2%) and all other causes
originating in the perinatal period (17.6%).

The age group 15-34 accounted for 28.4 percent of deaths of females due to all causes as
compared to 16.3 percent in case of males.

Maternal and Child Health

The emphasis on primary health care in the state of Karnataka has contributed to
improvements in maternal and child health, as shown by safe deliveries, child immunizations
and contraceptive use. Improvements in these areas have undoubtedly led to reduced infant

mortality, as described earlier. The training and use of community-based auxiliary nurse
midwives (ANM) has played an important role in this regard.
!.

In terms of immunizations, the proportion ot children aged 12-23 months immunised ranges
from 55% tor measles to 82% for BCG (Table 3.6). Furthermore, the disparity in
immunisation rates between urban and rural areas is relatively small. It is understandable that
there is higher attrition for vaccinations administered later because of access to the children.

Another indicator relevant to infant as well as maternal mortality is the percentage of safe
deliveries, measured by the percentage of deliveries by trained Personnel, including traditional
birth attendants or “dais”. Overall, about 62% of deliveries are by trained birth attendants,
more than the figure for India (Table 3.7). In fact, the improvement in this indicator has been
very substantial compared to the country as a whole, with the major change being in rural
deliveries. Unfortunately, there is no data on trends in maternal mortality to correlate with this
factor.
As a demographic indicator relevant to maternal health, fertility rates have declined since 1981
to a smaller extent than that achieved for India (Table 3.7). However, from 1981 fertility was
already lower than the country average. Fertility reduction was also lower in urban than rural
areas.

Correspondingly, couple protection rates have increased more than twice in the state (Table
3.7). This is slightly more than achieved for the country (Table 3.7). The most common
method is sterilisation (40%) followed by the intra-uterine device (IUD) (6%) (Population
Centre 1993).
Sterilisation as the major method applies to all districts, with those in
Bangalore and Mysore Divisions having slightly higher sterilisation prevalence (38-55%)
compared to the other Divisions (26-41%) (Population Centre 1993). The average age at
sterilisation for women is about 31 years after an average number of about three children
(Population Centre 1993).

Sterilisation, primarily by tubectomy, is done on a voluntary basis whereupon women are
disbursed a sum of Rs 140. The procedure is carried out at all levels of care from the Primary
Health Centre. Most Community Health Centres and General Hospitals also have weekly
camps for sterilisation operations on women. Although men were targets of sterilisation
efforts in the seventies, the focus currently is almost entirely on women.

Age-specific fertility indicates reduced fertility for all age-groups except for the 20-24 years
group among whom a slight increase is observed (Table 3.8). More specifically, this increased
fertility occurs in this age-group, whereas in the urban areas, an increase occurs later in the 2529 years group. Above 30 years, fertility falls substantially. This supports the contraceptive
use data which shows this to be the average age that many women are sterilised.

ORGANIZATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

4.1.

Organization at The State Level

The primary responsibility for health care and family welfare is with the State Government
under the Department of Health and Family Welfare (DHFW). The Central Government is
only the national coordinating and policy recommending body with little control over
implementation. Within the State, there are three levels of responsibility.
State level:
Health policy, budget, tariffs, capital investment, salaries, 40% of the supply of drugs and
consummables, training, manpower and IEC.
Division level:
Each of the four Divisions in the State, covering four to six districts, is an administrative
and coordination unit responsible for medical equipment maintenance.

District level;
The district level prepares the budget (excluding the budget for District Hospitals and
hospitals above 100 beds) and is responsible for building maintenance, office expenses and
60% of the supply of drugs and consumables.

The Secretary, Health & Family Welfare is responsible for formulating and implementing
policies of the Government in the field of Health Care. He is assisted in the Secretariat by an
Additional Secretary, Deputy Secretary (Medical Education), Deputy Secretary (Health) and
an Internal Financial Advisor.
The Director, Medical Education (DME), Director, Health and Family Welfare Services
(DHS), Director, Indian Systems of Medicine and Homeopathy and the Drugs Controller
report to the Secretary.

The Medical Colleges run by the State and the government hospitals attached to the teaching
institutions including private medical colleges, nursing colleges and nursing schools come
under the jurisdiction of the Director Medical Education. While the teaching staff are under
the administrative control of the DME, the staff of the hospitals attached to the teaching
institutions are under the control of DHS.

The Director of Health Services is responsible for Public Health, Primary Health Care, and
Secondary level Hospitals. He is assisted by three Additional Directors — one each for MCH
& FW, AIDS and Projects. The Additional Director (Projects) is responsible for implementing
externally assisted projects such as IPP-DC He is also designated as ex-officio Additional
Secretary, to facilitate issue of Government Orders after obtaining the approval of the
Secretary, Health.
At the Directorate level, The Director Health & Family Welfare Services is assisted by a Chief
Administrative officer, a Chief Accounts Officer and nine Joint Directors.

There is one Divisional Joint Director in-charge of each of the four Revenue Divisions and
report to the DHS. In each district, there is a District Surgeon to manage the district hospital
and a District Health Officer (DHO) to manage primary health care at all hospitals excluding
the district hospital and programmes to control diseases. The activities managed by the DHO
fall under the jurisdiction of the Zilla Panchayat. Consequently, he reports to the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of the Zilla Panchayat, who is an IAS officer. The DHOs are under
the administrative control of the DHS in so far as evaluation of their performance, promotions
and transfeRs are concerned. The organizational set-up under the DHO is almost similar to
that under DHS.
The Zilla Panchayats receive grants from the State Government to meet expenditure on health
care. Such grants and actual expenses are reflected in the Health Budget of the State, under
the District Sector component.

The Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act, 1993, which is now in force in the State, specifies the
functions to be performed by the Zilla Panchayats, Taluka Panchayats, and the Grama
Panchayats. The matters to be dealt with by the Zilla Panchayat, in respect of Health and

Family Welfare, at the district level, are: (1) Management of hospitals and dispensaries
excluding the District hospital and hospitals under the direct management of Government
(above 50 beds); (2) Implementation of maternity and child health programmes; (3)
Implementation of family welfare programmes; (4) Implementation of immunisation and
vaccination programmes. The Taluka Panchayats deal with: (1) Promotion of Health and
Family Welfare programmes, (2) Promotion of immunisation and vaccination programmes at
the Taluka level: and, (3) Health and sanitation at fairs and festivals. At the village level, the
Grama Panchayats deal with implementation of family welfare programmes, prevention
measures against epidemics, regulation of sale of food articles, participation in immunisation
programmes, licensing of eating establishment, and regulation of offensive and dangerous
trades. Apart from operating the District Sector budget, the Zilla Panchayats also implement
such State Sector schemes as are entrusted to them by Government.

4.2

Structure of Health Care System

The health care delivery system in Karnataka has been structured on the basis of national
norms which have been formulated with the objective of integrating promotive, preventive and
curative aspects of health care. The health services delivery structure existing in the State is
described below:


For each District (approximately 2 million population): One District Hospital with 250
beds with specialized curative services



For each Sub-District (approximately 500,000 population): One Sub-District Hospital with
100 beds with curative services



For each Taluk/block (100,000 to 120,000 population): A Community Health Centre
(CHC) level hospital with 30 beds with specialized medical care services in gynaecology,
obstetrics, surgery and medicine.



For an area covering 30,000 population: A Primary Health Centre (PHC) to render
preventive, promotive and curative services.

The state of Karnataka provides health care services in all levels of the delivery system. In the
last decade, the emphasis in health care has been at the primary level, for which various
programmes (IPP) have been implemented, including the upgrading of facilities. Based on the
number of beds, secondary level facilities are mainly available ip the district capitals while
tertiary level services are mostly in the state capital of Bangalore.

Primary level care is mainly served by SCs and PHCs, whereas CHCs, GHs, Sub-District
Hospitals (also known as Taluk Hospitals) and District Hospitals are mainly providing
secondary level services. Some of the District Hospitals are also. Teaching Hospitals which
provide tertiary services as well. The basic structure of the health facilities is shown in

open to the general public. Out of this bed strength, 3,330 beds are in hospitals for specific
diseases such as tuberculosis, infectious diseases etc., leaving 28,510 beds for general use.
There are varying estimates of the number of private hospitals. Of these, the estimate made by
ORG is more exhaustive and also provides data on bed strength. ORG estimated that there are
307 hospitals and 439 nursing homes in the private sector with a total bed strength of 17,668
in Karnataka.

The total number of beds in the Government sector, excluding those in specialty hospitals and
private sector put together is 46,178 for the estimated population of 47-51 million in 1994 or
1029 persons per hospital bed as compared to the norm of 1000 persons per bed set by the
Planning Commission. The beds in the Government sector account for 57.5 percent of total
beds as against the norm of 66.7 percent set by the Planning Commission. The Planning
Commission has also recommended that 15 percent of the beds should be at the primary level,
70 percent at the secondary level and 15 percent at the tertiary level. The'actual distribution of

The Forty Second Round (1986-87) of National Sample Survey (NSS) provides extensive
information on utilization of services by the community. Information relating to Karnataka and

Expenditure on Social Services

|

The expenditure of the State Government on Social Services has been hovering around 38
percent of total revenue expenditure. It. has increased at an annual rate of 16.7 percent from Rs
3.403 billion in 1980-81 to Rs 34.325 billion in 1995-96. Adjusting for inflation, the annual
rate of increase in expenditure on social services has been 6.4 percent. The overview of
expenditure for the last five years related to Government spending for social services is
provided in ANNEX 2.
Assuming that the State would continue to maintain this growth in outlay on health and family
welfare, the per capita expenditure on health and family welfare in the year 2000-2001 will be
Rs. 163 at current prices. The projected outlay for expected population of 52.174 million
would be Rs. 8,304 million.

The share of health and family welfare in the total expenditure of the state is around 4.5
percent. In 1994-95, the Non-Plan expenditure accounts for 60 percent of the total
expenditure on health and family welfare. The Non-Plan expenditure, which is met from
resources raised internally by the State, is expected to increase from Rs. 3,160 million in 199495 to Rs. 5,565 (or 67 percent of projected expenditure in the year 2000-01).

increase in Non-Plan expenditure which is of the order of Rs. 2405 million between 1994-95
and 2000-01 or about 10 percent of projected expenditure in the year 2000-01.

Current Status

The Government of Karnataka has a system of levying charges for diagnostic services,
treatment and usage of wards in the hospitals managed by it. The last revision of these user
charges was made in 1988 vide order No: HFW 126 SMM 86 dated March 10, 1988.
There are other types of charges levied e.g. certificates for physical fitness, wounds etc. Fifty
percent of the charges collected are retained by the government and the balance given to the
doctor issuing the certificate. Charges for the issuance of such certificates were fixed last in
1946 and have not been revised to date

The user charges are to be collected and remitted to the treasury. Neither the hospital
collecting the charge nor the Department of Health has access to the user charges collected.
As a consequence, there is no incentive to collect user charges. The average collections of user
charges per year during 1990-93, amounted to Rs. 107 million. Approximately 40 percent or
Rs. 41 million is on account of issuance of certificates and the balance amount of Rs. 66
million on account of ward charges and charges for surgery and investigations. In 1992-93 the
collection accounted for 3 percent of the expenditure of the health department.

6.2.2 Current Pattern of User Charges
No charge is levied on outpatients. The registration charges which used to be levied earlier
have been discontinued.

Inpatients with annual family income of below Rs. 8,001 are <exempted' from
~

paying
charges
for any service as they are considered to be economically weaker sections. The patients with
family income of over Rs. 8,000 and admitted in general wards are charged a nominal amount
of Rs. 2 per day. There are charges for special wards, graded according to the number of beds
in such special wards, the maximum charge being Rs. 30 per day for a single bed in special
ward with basic diet included.

A schedule of rates has been prepared for different services. Those admitted in special wards
irrespective of income and those with family income of over Rs. 20,000 admitted in general
wards have to pay the full charge as listed. Those admitted in general wards and with family
income of Rs. 8,001 to 20,000 per annum have to pay 50 percent of the charges while those
with income below are exempted from all charges.

The charges for issuance of certificates are low, when one considers the present day cost of
living. For example, the charge for issuing certificate for physical fitness is Rs. 5. There is
justification for substantial revision of these charges. Increasing the charges especially for
wound certificates does not affect the economically weaker sections since the certificates are
collected by the police without paying any charge when a complaint is lodged by them with the

HEALTH POLICY AND PROGRAMMES

7.1

Health Policy

The health situation in India is typical of a developing country whereby communicable diseases
and malnutrition feature prominently, with poor maternal and child health outcomes.
Population growth, poverty and poor education continue to be major concerns and challenges
to the achievement of‘Health for AH’. Towards this end, the Government of India (GOI) has
formulated a National Health Policy in 1983 under the jurisdiction of the central Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare. This Policy recognizes the need to integrate policies for health
and human development with socio-economic development, particularly in the health-related
sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture and food production, rural development,
education and social welfare, housing, water supply and sanitation, food quality control, and
environmental conservation (National Health Policy 1983). The overall aims are to provide
universal, comprehensive and affordable primary health care services in line with the needs and
priorities of the community, ensuring community participation in the planning and
implementation of health programmes, and adequate utilization of private voluntary health
care services.
Thus, the National Health Policy encompasses a 20-point Programme that gives priority to
family planning on a voluntary basis; universal provision of primary health care; control of
leprosy, tuberculosis and blindness; social welfare programmes for women and children;
nutrition programmes for pregnant and lactating women and children, especially in tribal, less
accessible and less developed areas. At the same time, there is also emphasis on provision of
safe drinking water to problem areas, low-cost housing, production of essential food crops,
integrated rural development, universal education and expansion of the public distribution
system. The components are:












Population stabilization
Medical and health education
Provision of primary health care with special emphasis on preventive, promotive and
rehabilitative aspects
Reorientation of existing health personnel
Phasing out private practice by government medical staff (with provision of appropriate
compensatory non-practising allowance)
Integration of traditional sources of health care
Health education and communication
Management information system
Development of the bio-medical industry
Health insurance to mobilize additional resources for health promotion and ensure that the
community shares the cost of services proportionate to their paying capacity.

Within this Health Policy, national goals have been set for specific indicators (TABLE 3.1). In
the description of health status in the next section, some of the indicators for Karnataka state
are compared to these national goals.
Furthermore, due to the priority given to population control, the states and Union Territories
of India have been divided into three regions based on the expected period when the targeted
net reproductive rate (NRR=1) should be achieved. This categorization was based on the
couple-protection rate in April 1983. Under this scheme, Karnataka falls under Group B
which should attain NRR of 1 in 1996-97. Group A areas, which include the neighboring
states Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, are expected to attain this goal in 1991-92.

7.2

Health Programmes

The current health and population programmes in Karnataka are funded by the central and
state governments as well as by international donors. These state-wide programmes are
implemented within the primary health care system.

7.2.1

Integrated Child Development Services

In 1975, the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) was implemented in 33 pilot
projects and later expanded nationwide. This was the initiative of the Government of India
with support from state governments. The objectives are to:







improve nutritional and health status of children aged 0-6 years
nurture the proper psychological, physical and social development of children
reduce mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school attrition
achieve effective coordination of policy and implementation among various departments to
promote child development
enhance the capacity of the mother to look after the normal health and nutritional needs of
the child through proper nutrition and health education

The ICDS is implemented throughout Karnataka state at the primary care level.

7.2.2

Child Survival and Safe Motherhood Project

In the mid-1980s, the Government of India launched the Child Survival Safe Motherhood
(CSSM) Programme throughout the country. This was focused on maternal and child health
care services, including family planning and immunization. The components include:








Immunization for children and child bearing women
Control of diarrhoeal diseases, including social marketing of oral dehydration salts through
private and commercial channels
Control of acute respiratory infections
Prevention of blindness and vitamin A supplementation
Enhanced neonatal care
Promotion of breastfeeding

This state-wide project includes the provision of sterile delivery kits to community-based
auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) who distribute them free to pregnant mothers to be used
during domiciliary births attended by traditional birth attendants. It also includes the provision
of portable sterilizing equipment to the ANMs.

7.2.3

India Population Projects

The India Population Projects (EPP) are supported by the World Bank up to the most recent
IPP IX. Karnataka has been included in four of these - IPP I, IPP III, IPP VIII and IPP IX.
Up to nine India Population Projects (IPP) focusing on health and family welfare have been
implemented with support from the Government of India and various international donors.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE, GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA

Karnataka has been the recipient of four of these projects, including the most recent IPP-IX.
IPP I and III covered 70% of the state population while IPP-VIII is focused on the urban poor
in Bangalore. IPP IX will include 13 districts. In sum, these IPPs will have covered the entire
state.
EPP-I (1973-80) was supported by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW),
- Government of India with assistance from the International Development Authority and the
Swedish International Development Authority. The project was implemented in six districts in
the Bangalore Division, including Urban Bangalore, covering 12 million people or about 33%
of the state population (1981 data). The project aims were:






expansion of health infrastructure
linking family planning provision with nutrition supplementation
setting up of a population centre for continued evaluation and to design and operate
Management, Information and Evaluation System (MIES)
provision of technical assistance

EPP-III (1984-92) was implemented by the MoHFW with support from the International
Development Authority. It was implemented in six districts in the Belgaum and Gulbarga
Divisions covering about 16 million (1991 data) or about 36% of the state population. IPP-III
districts had the lowest literacy levels among men and women. Based on 1980 data, IPP-III
districts also had higher infant mortality (males and females), total fertility rate and crude birth
rate compared to IPP-I and other districts. Conversely, 1992 figures show that the couple
protection rate was also lowest compared to IPP-I and other districts.). In addition, childhood
immunizations, with the exception of BCG, had the lowest coverage in the IPP-III areas as
pointed out in the IPP-IX Project Proposal, Final Version (DHFW 1994). Justifiably, the
objectives of IPP IX were to reduce fertility in accordance with the country’s population
policy, and to reduce infant, child and maternal mortality by:







generating demand for family welfare services through Information, Education and
Communication (IEC) strategies
augmenting staff and facilities
improving professional and technical skills
improving management capabilities
involving community, voluntary organizations, other government and local authorities in
the family welfare programme.

Although aimed at improving maternal and child health, nutrition supplementation for
pregnant women in the last trimester, nursing mothers and young children (6-24 months) was
not included in IPP-III as in IPP-I.
IPP-VIII (1994), as mentioned earlier, is focused on the urban poor in Bangalore city and
planned for extension to other cities in the future. Its scope covers primary health care,
maternal and child health and family planning, health education and sanitation. The urban slum
areas of Bangalore will benefit from this project.

[

EPP-IX (1994-2001) is the most recent population project to be implemented with
support from the World Bank. The largest to date in terms of area coverage, it
will be implemented in, initially 10 districts and now
in 13 districts in all
Divisions. The objectives are to reduce birth rates, infant mortality and maternal mortality
and increase contraceptive usage according to specific targets (EPP-IX Project Proposal 1994)
through:











involvement of the community in promoting and delivering family welfare services
strengthening service delivery by providing drugs, health kits and supplies to traditional
birth attendants (TBAs),
sub-centres and primary health centres (PHCs)
increase mobility at sub-centre level by providing loans for vehicles
providing buildings for sub-centres with accommodation for ANMs
providing residential quarters for medical officers
improving quality of services by providing training to personnel, official and non-official,
at various levels including TBAs, community leaders and voluntary agencies
strengthening monitoring and evaluation by developing and operating MIES at district to
state level.

Under EPP-IX, four training centres, one iin each Division, will be set up for training
paramedical staff, namely ANMs and Lady Health Visitors (LHV), as well as training in IEC
and MIES for all districts.

HEALTH SECTOR ISSUES

8.1.

Integration of PHCs and Secondary Hospitals

The IPP projects have concentrated on strengthening the infrastructure for delivery of primary
health care services, improving the quality of services and generating demand for family
welfare services. The institutions strengthened are sub-Centres and Primary Health Centres.
Under IPP-IX, rehabilitation of Community Health Centres (CHC) as well as upgrading of
selected CHCs into first level Referral Units (FRUs) is being taken up.

The PHCs and CHCs in a district are independent and each unit reports directly to the District
Health Officer (DHO). The sub-District or Taluka hospitals also report directly to the DHO.
On the other hand the District Hospital falls under the jurisdiction of the District Surgeon.
There is no linkage between District Hospital with sub-District Hospitals, sub-District
Hospitals with CHCs, and, in turn CHCs with PHCs falling within its catchment. As a result,
technical supervision and up-gradation of skills of medical and paramedical staff are
inadequate.
The common perception is that the higher the share of expenditure on hospitals, the lower the
equity in the overall health system. This is based on the assumption that if more resources are
devoted to primary care programmes and facilities it will be possible to provide relatively low
cost preventive and curative services to a larger segment of the population who are more
vulnerable. Both hospitals and PHC programmes cover multiple and overlapping functions.
PHC is associated with community-level delivery programmes, whereas hospital services are
delivered through large facilities socially detached from the community. Hospitals and PHC
should be more integrated, and the services provided by the health sector should be balanced
and inter linked, from lower level preventive and curative outreach programs to upper level
facilities. Similarly, there is need to have integration between the health and the family welfare
structures. The question remains, however, of the appropriate balance of services within the
integrated system. Efforts to integrate lower-level hospitals could increase the effectiveness of
outreach and community-based programs. Hospitals can also provide technical support for
lower level services and provide a focus for training of skilled manpower

8.2.

Resource Allocation

Not only is there a need to increase the allocation of resources to the public health system to
match the needs, but also more balanced distribution between primary, secondary and tertiary
sectors. The emphasis on primary health care has resulted in under funding of hospitals at the
secondary level. This under funding has led to deterioration in the quality of buildings and
equipment, supply of drugs and staffing especially medical and skilled paramedical personnel.
Many of the buildings need to be rehabilitated by providing continuous water supply,
uninterrupted power, clean and adequate number of toilets and arrangement for managing
solid wastes. Most of the equipment have become obsolete and needs to be replaced. The
quality of medical care needs improvement. Therefore, there is need for enhancing the
allocation of funds to the public health system, and to introduce efficiency in the utilization of

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE, GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA

37

resources. A reallocation of resources will have to be based on the cost effectiveness of
different components of the health system.
’/•i

Planning and Management

8.3.

There are major weaknesses in the management of the health system in the State. At the
Directorate level, there is lack of clarity in the roles among various functionaries. There is also
a lack of adequate administrative and financial accountability. At the lower levels, the hiatus is
often sharper. While the medical officer is required to manage the hospital, all decisions on
medical and financial aspects are taken at the Directorate. In specific areas the delegation of
powers such as the maintenance of infrastructure viz., building and equipment, both at the
district and State levels is poor leading to deterioration of assets. The Government is also
considering the delegation of responsibilities to the Division and district levels. The process is
in Annex 10.
There is also a need to have an institutionalized system to study on a continuing basis:





changes in epidemiological profile and disease burden;
cost effective means of utilizing resources; and
continuous upgrading of manpower skills.

8.4.

Quality of Services

The hospital system in the State suffers from major handicaps. Budgets meant for maintaining
equipment and building need to be stepped up. Diagnostic facilities, equipment, ambulance
and trained personnel require strengthening. Existing norms for staffing at various levels have
to be reviewed, given the heavy pressure on the hospital system which currently results in poor
quality of services. Similarly, norms for equipment and the range of clinical services at each
level need to be worked out on a rational basis. The infrastructure needs thorough overhauling
as well as expansion to meet the needs of the over strained hospital system. Management skills
at the hospital level need to be continually upgraded. The overall environment in which the
hospitals function need improvement.

8.5.

Access and Equity

Access to public health facilities in the state is uneven. Even where physical facilities exist, the
quality and range of services is poor. Typically, in areas of the state where health status is
poor, the gaps in infrastructure are large.
There is need to have significant increase in the bed capacity in poorly served regions. Only in
18 percent of the taluks, the bed availability is equal to or more than the norm of 1679 persons
per bed, determined on the basis of epidemiology. In 35 percent of the taluks, the persons per
bed, ranges between 1,700 to 5,000. In 29 percent of the taluks, the bed availability ranges
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE, GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA

38

UPGRADING OF SECONDARY LEVEL HOSPITALS IN GULBARGA DIVISION, KARNATAKA

|

between 5,000 to 10,000 persons per bed. Persons per bed exceeds 10,000 in 18 percent of
the taluks.

The Northern districts of Gulbarga, Bidar, Raichur, Bellary, Dharwad and Bijapur have a
relatively poorer developed health infrastructure.
There is also a major urban-rural divide with most of the well equipped hospitals located in a
few urban agglomerations of the State. The rural poor have limited access for obtaining critical
health referral services. In the urban areas also, there are imbalances. In major metropolitan
cities such as Bangalore, there are glaring inadequacies in the first referral network. The
availability of infrastructure is inadequate, as it has to not only cope with fast rising urban
population, but also with the pressure from rural areas.

There is no conscious effort to focus on reducing morbidity and mortality rates among the
disadvantaged segments of the society, such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Utilization of services by women is poor. This issue is intricately related to the low level of
women’s status, lack of public health education, as also the physical inadequacy of the hospital
services required by women.

8.6.

Work Force

In some parts of the State there is a severe shortage of staff, both in respect of doctors,
nursing staff as well as para medical personnel. Due to various reasons the recruitment
procedures have been slow. The situation is made worse by many cases of unauthorized
absence and indiscipline in the work-force, adversely affecting the quality of services.
Manpower development, specially clinical skills training and training in the maintenance of
equipment have remained neglected areas.

8.7.

Referral System

At present, the referral system does not function effectively. This is due to the following
reasons: (i) Overloading of hospitals with self-referrals; (ii) lack of confidence in lower-level
facilities because of perceived low quality of care; (iii) lack of organizational and management
links between hospitals at various levels. An effective referral system has to be designed by
focusing on three important areas: the structure of the referral system, management co­
ordination and quality improvement.

It is necessary to define the mix of patients to be served and the services to be made available
at each tier of the hospital system. Referral criteria have to be established for diagnosis and
treatment for different disease categories. Manuals need to be prepared, information
disseminated, and training needs met for medical, paramedical and laboratory staff.

The effectiveness of the referral system depends on the (i) quality of services at all levels; (ii)
awareness among the public about the type of services available at each level of the health
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE, GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA

39

j

1

UPGRADING OF SECONDARY LEVEL HOSPITALS IN GULBARGA DIVISION, KARNATAKA

system and (iii) enforcement of procedures to ensure that patients do not bypass one level,
without the consent of the health personnel at the lower level.

While designing the referral system it is necessary to involve the community. Wide publicity
has to be undertaken to disseminate information about the diagnostic, treatment and surgical
services available at the Primary level (CHC), Secondary level (Sub-District Level) and
District level Hospitals.

Management of Communicable and Other Diseases

8.8.

The recent outbreak of plague and recurrence of malaria in Karnataka serves to emphasize the
need to more effectively manage the communicable diseases. Hospital data show that
Karnataka has high incidence of the following diseases:





Tuberculosis,
Malaria,
Filaria, and
Blindness

While there are national programmes for the control of diseases, there is a need to strengthen

management. There is also a need to
effectively integrate the hospital system with the management and control of diseases at the
primary level.

Burns and Injuries

8.9.

The casualty departments of hospitals are understaffed and under equipped to handle the
increasing number of cases of bums and injuries. There is an urgent need to improve the
casualty wards by providing basic facilities in each hospital. There is also need to address the
gaps in providing emergency health care services for victims of accidents, specially along
major highways and in the proximity of factories.
8.10.

Chronic Illnesses

The increase in life expectancy that has occurred over the last four decades and that is
continuing to increase will pose greater problems of medical care for the population in the
management of chronic illnesses, specially among the older age groups.
8.11.

Role of Private sector

In terms of number of patients being served by the private sector, the role of private sector
appears very significant. Forty two percent of out patients and thirty five percent of inpatients
are treated by the private sector. There is no yardstick developed by the government to assess
their quality and ensure that unlicensed and unqualified practitioners do not provide services.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE, GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA

40

UPGRAD|NG QF SECONDARY LEVEL HOSPITALS IN GULBARGA DIVISION, KARNATAKA

The private sector is also under-utilized in managing communicable diseases, respiratory
infections and high risk births. There is also need to utilize the services of voluntary
organizations, specially in remote and inaccessible areas. In the hospitals, contracting out
services to private agencies has not been tried out, though it could lead to significant
improvements in efficiency.

8.12

User Charges and Sustainability

The appropriateness of adopting user charge principles and imposing user fees depends on the
type of service provided. Hospital services are mostly patient related curative services. There
is a scope to levy fees or charges on curative services provided. A mechanism exists to adjust
fees depending on the patients ability to pay. Studies have shown that prescription fees
accompanied by improvement in quality can lead to increased utilization. However, the
additional revenues generated by levy of user fees may not be adequate to cover fully the
expenditure in improving quality through better facilities in terms of equipment and drugs. The
levy of user fee may be a step in restoring equity; the poor may benefit proportionately more
than the non-poor. Cost recovery with a dispensation that provides for ploughing back of
resources will be appropriate for promoting efficiency and equity.
Prescription fees will augment resources for the health sector and should, therefore, lead to
improvements in supply both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Sustainability would also be
promoted to a large extent because the revenue realised would finance a portion of the
operational costs, thereby relieving the budgetary constraint. Cost recovery would result in
improvements in the quality of care if the resources generated internally are ploughed back for
improving the availability of drugs and maintenance of facilities.

Recognising the link between basic public health

not only maintain the share of health sector allocations
within the overall budget at least at the current level,
but will step up the allocations progressively.

The State recognises the need for focussing attention on
the primary and secondary levels of health care and also
to step up allocations for the same levels. While a
beginning has already been made, it is expected that by
the year 2000 the imbalance will have been corrected. A

e.g.: a general surgeon in
place of an O&G Surgeon

Quality and access will be improved, especially for the
poor and underprivileged, by: i) upgrading and
expanding physical capacity, ii) upgrading clinical
effectiveness and quality of services at Taluka, sub­
district and district hospitals; iii) improving the referral
system e.g. for essential obstetric care for women with
high risk pregnancies; and iv) adopting staffing and
technical norms at the Taluka, sub-district and district
hospitals in line with the recommendations of the high
level committee which has been accepted by
Government. In respect of Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribes access will be improved through a
system of Health Cards and bi-annual health check ups. In respect of Tribal groups this will supplement the
efforts being made through EPP-IX. NGOs will be
encouraged to maintain and operate facilities in remote
tribal areas. Poor patients who cannot afford high cost
treatment will be provided support through the recently
set up CM’s Medical Relief Fund, while at the same
time encouraging the high-tech tertiary government
institutions to enhance charges in respect of those who
can afford to pay. _____________________________
The capacity for strategic planning will be enhanced
through establishment of a Planning Cell in the Dept, of
Health and Family Welfare. This will, either
independently or through specific research projects:
study the role of the private sector; review the suitability
of present regulations evolving epidemiological profile
in Karnataka; monitor the burden of disease and
recommend cost-effective means for achieving the best
use of limited resources; and undertake periodic review
of the health manpower supply situation and training
needs in the state.

No economy orders will be imposed with regard to
recruiting staff. In a short period the problem of
mismatching in medical staff will be solved; OOD
posting banned; doctors recruited on contract where
direct recruitment process is slow and doctors will be
asked to serve a mandatory period of six years in rural
areas before being considered for posting at more
preferred places. The State Government has already
taken a decision to ban private practice by Government
Doctors, and to provide compensatory non-practising
allowance.

UPGRADING OF SECONDARY LEVEL HOSPITALS IN GULBARGA DIVISION, KARNATAKA

|

The upgrading of services and facilities at secondary level hospitals will provide the basis for
the implementation of a more effective cost recovery system.
Within the framework of the project, measures will be implemented by the Government of
Karnataka to safeguard the operation and maintenance of the hospitals. With the
implementation of the approved Government guidelines for secondary health care facilities, the
physical upgrading concomits with the provision of better facilities as well.

Finally, the Government of Karnataka is fully committed to improving the cost sharing system.
At present, this involves income-generation from user fees and a new income distribution
structure such that the bulk of the user fees will benefit the respective health facilities. The
goals of the project are summarized in TABLE 11.1.

11.2

Selection Criteria

As mentioned earlier, the project will cover four districts in Gulbarga Division. These districts
were selected based on specific health and socio-demographic measures, i.e., comprising the
less developed areas in the state.

Activities for this project will be confined to 50 and/or 100-bed secondary level hospitals
primarily located in the taluka headquarters, i.e., the sub-district hospitals. The upgrading of
PHCs to CHCs is not included in this project because the 30-bed CHCs, as per current
standard norms, do not constitute health care facilities which provide the minimum hospital­
based services for the community. As such, these facilities tend not to be utilized by patients
seeking care. Instead, the next higher level of hospital care is utilised, i.e. the 50 or 100-bed
facilities. The location of some of the 30-bed CHCs are also more remote, hence, staffing is
problematic due to the lack of facilities such as housing and schools.
In each district, facilities to be upgraded were identified based on specific criteria at taluka
level or facility level, which are as follows:

Taluka-based criteria.






socio-economic background
health indicators
population catchment size (within 15 km of facility)
population per secondary hospital bed ratio

Facility-based criteria:






patient load
physical accessibility for patients
accessibility for health personnel
conditions of buildings and facilities

proximity to other secondary level health facilities

The above factors served as a general guide in the selection process. At the same time, other
factors specific to each facility may be incorporated as justification for selection. Based on the
above criteria, a principle list of facilities was established which is approved in principle by the
Government of Karnataka.

11.3

Project Components

The project scope comprises renovation, physical upgrading and expansion, i.e., the upgrading
of secondary health care facilities and workshops at district level for improvement of
maintenance. The project also includes measures to strengthen and improve the operation of
these facilities by sanctioning and engagement of additional manpower as well as provision of
additional operational budget for drugs and maintenace. The project components to be
included are described below.

11.3.1 Renovation and Upgrading of Facilities

Gulbarga Division has the highest ratio of population per bed in the State of Karnataka. There
are 14 CHC’s, 28 GH’s (General Hospitals or Sub-District Hospitals) and 5 DH’s.The total
number of beds (excluding beds of PHC’s is 2,959)

Within the project, secondary health care facilities will be renovated or upgraded. The
following definition applies for this project:

Renovation means that the existing buildings will be further improved, unsatisfactory
functions corrected and missing functional units added. Engineering service components
will be repaired and if necessary replaced. Non functional equipment will be replaced or
equipment required but not available provided


Upgrading means the existing facility will be upgraded to the next higher level facility and
all necessary buildings, engineering services and equipment will be provided. Existing
buildings and engineering services will be incorporated as part of the overall exercise and if
necessary renovated.

The total number of facilities in the project is 47 hospitals for phase one and two whereby in
the first phase 26 hospitals will be renovated or upgraded. Out of the 26 hospitals of the first
phase, 15 hospitals will be upgraded from 30 to 50 beds and 4 hospitals will be upgraded
from 30 beds to 100 beds A further 7 hospitals in phase one will be renovated. In most of the
facilities additional staff quarters will be included. The upgrading will result in the addition of
627 new hospital beds. TABLE 11.2 provides an overview of increase of hospital beds per
district

The ratio of population per bed in Raichur District after upgrading and renovation will be
reduced from 5,745 to 3,611. This ratio will be further reduced when the 500 bed hospital
financed by OPEC is implemented. Taking the 500 beds into account, the population per bed
will be further reduced to 2,025 which is in line with all the other districts.
With the physical upgrading, the hospitals will provide improved medical services in
accordance with the new guidelines by the Government of Karnataka by availing more
specialist doctors and other categories of medical staff. The guidelines for staffing, space
allocation and equipment for 30, 50 and 100-bed hospitals were finally defined by a “High
Level Review Committee” in March 1995. The basic norms are enclosed in ANNEX 3.
Under this component of the project, the financing of design and engineering, civil works,
engineering works, medical equipment, initial supply and vehicles will be provided. The
renovation or upgrading includes infrastructure, building, landscaping as well as water storage,
waste water treatment (septic tanks), emergency generator and waste treatment equipment
(incinerator).

Within the project budget, 11% of the total project cost is provided for sustaining of medical
services in district hospitals until the second phase of the project is implemented. This amount
wiil be used only for emergency purposes-.

The total amount planned for the renovation or upgrading of secondary health care facilities is
IR 233.35 million or equivalent to DM 11.11 million. This amount represents 74% of the
project cost.
TABLE 11.3 provides the overview of the project cost for each facility which will be
renovated or upgraded in the first phase of the project (four years). The description of the
scope of renovation and upgrading for these hospitals is provided in the APPENDIX (Facility
evaluation,development and costing).

The project scope for the second phase and the respective project cost for upgrading and
renovation will be defined before the mid-term review of the first phase.

11.3.2 Improvement on Maintenance

The main reason for the present poor maintenance is Uck of funding, insufficient maintenance
facilities and manpower, and also complicated procedures for the execution of maintenance
services. To improve the maintenance of the secondary level facilities, the setting-up of a
workshop at division and district level is proposed.
The establishment of the proposed four workshops will provide basic maintenance for the
medical equipment, engineering services and will be responsible for the management of all
maintenance activities. Each workshop will be responsible for all sub-district and district
hospitals. The workshop at division level will in addition be responsible for training o
biomedical technicians and user-training. The element comprises the establishment of building,
supply of workshop equipment and initial spare parts and consumables as well as the purchase
of a vehicle for each wokshop. The respective maintenance concept for the project is enclosed

in ANNEX 7.

Maintenance will utilize 2% of the total project cost which is IR 800 million equivalent to DM
0.38 million.
11.3.3 Clinical, Technical and Management Training
All training for Gulbarga Division will be covered within The World Bank project. The
training includes upgrading of clinical, technical and management skills of hospital staff.

11.3.4 Improvement on Sustanability of Medical Services

Besides strengthening the maintenance aspect, the improvement of cost sharing will be an
important factor to ensure better sustainability. The improvement of cost sharing wil be
treated by two means. First, the present mechanism relating to procedures for fee collection in
government health care facilities will be enforced and the respective adjustments of fees
reorganization of fee collection and establishment of a monitoring and evaluation system will
be implemented during the project period. Secondly, the distribution of income generate ,
which is presently mainly collected only in the district hospitals, will be restructured. The
income from patient fees is now transferred directly to the state Treasury and cannot be used
by the DHFW. In future, the collected fees will be reallocated such that at least 75/o ot the
income will be made available to the income-generating facility. The outline of the cost
sharing system which shall be implemented is enclosed in ANNEX 5.
’ j component will be IR 4.00 million, equivalent
The contribution for the implementation of~ this
to DM 0 .19 million which represents less than 1% of the project funding.

11.3.5 Contribution of the Government of Karnataka

The Government of Karnataka assures that increases to the health care budget will continue in
the same proportion as in preceding years. This is in accordance with the present economic
development of the country.
With the physical upgrading of the hospital facilities, the Government of Karnataka will also
improve the services provided in the hospitals by sanctioning additional staffing and additional
operating expense budget (especially for maintenance and drugs) for the upgraded facilities as
well as for the facilities which wall be renovated or upgraded in the second phase. The basis for
the services provided in the respective facilities is outlined in the report of the High Level
Review Committee enclosed in ANNEX 4.
The estimate of the contribution by the Government of Karnataka is indicated in ANNEX 6
which is mainly for additional staffing, implementation of workshops, increase of budget
norms for drugs and maintenance and for project management participation. The total amount
contributed by the Government is IR 69.70 million, equivalent to DM 3.32 million. The
contribution of the Government represents approximately 18% of the funding provided by
KfW.

11.3.6 Project Management

At the APEX of the project management team will be the Governing Board headed by the
Chief Secretary to the Government followed by the Steering Committee headed by the
Secretary to the Department of Health. The project management will be formed at Gulbarga
Division level. The project management team will function at division and district levels.
An important difference in the present project is that all the required design and engineering,
and supervision of construction will be tendered and provided by the private sector. All civil
works and engineering works will be tendered at district level and all supply of equipment and
vehicles will be tendered locally. Tendering will be executed in accordance with the guidelines
ofKfW.
An independent project management monitoring team will be appointed by the government to
assist the project management team at division level in the execution of the project.The basic
management concept is enclosed in ANNEX 8.

For the final approval of the second phase, a mid-term review will evaluate the project
progress of the first phase after three years of implementation. The mid-term review will also
define the scope of work and the final budget of the second phase of the project.

The cost estimation of the project management amounts to IR 39.32 million which is
equivalent to DM 1.87 million. The amount represents 10% of the project funding.

11.4

The Selected Facilities

The basis for the selection of facilities for upgrading are described herewith by district and
taluka. It should be noted that selection was confined to data and other information that were
provided-by the state or district health authorities. The information was verified by the survey
team at each of the sites. In accordance with the survey team’s findings, the scope of
services for upgrading was changed in some cases. Thus, the final report may differ from the
Stage Report submitted at beginning of May 1995 as the survey will be completed at the end
of May 1995.

Although the upgrading is described in terms of bed capacity, it must be noted that bed
capacity corresponds with other facilities, such as number of professional staff including
medical specialists and range of services offered.
In the following section, the socio demographic indicators and data related to existing beds
may differ from data in the previous section. The information provided in the section below
are the most recent figures from district statistics which were collected within this year.
The discription of each facility which will be renovated or upgraded is given in ANNEX 9.

PROJECT BUDGET

The following project budget comprises the renovation or upgrading cost of each hospital
based on the hospital survey for each of the proposed facilities and cost estimation for the
other project components. All price assumptions are based on 1995 prices. Although the
exchange rate is presently (June 1995) 1DM= 22IR which is due to the low USS rate in
comparison with the DM the exchange rate for the project calculation has been assumed at
One German Mark to Twenty One Indian Rupees (1DM = 2HR).

12.1

Budget for upgrading offacilities

The need for upgrading and expansion of each facility is based on item prices for civil works
and engineering services, fees for design and engineering, medical equipment, initial supply
and vehicles. For the upgrading and renovation cost the following assumptions for each facility
has been made:


The cost of civil works which aso includes cost for infrastructure, landscaping and
engineering services are shown in APPENDIX A (Project Brief). In addition, 15% of the
cost of civil works are provided for minor renovation and repair works which has not been
calculated in the Project Brief.



The cost for new medical equipment or major replacement is shown in APPENDIX A
(Project Brief). The standard for medical and non medical equipment is in accordance with
the norms for secondary level facilities.



Fees for design, engineering and supervision excluding project management is based on
10% of the cost of civil works. The design, engineering and supervision will be executed
by external companies. The 10% rate takes into account for the hospital project, which
involves upgrading and renovation, a higher pecentage on fees.



Initial supply is based on IR 100,000 for hospital upgrading from 30 to 50 beds and IR
200.000 for upgrading from 30 beds to 100 beds. Hospitals which are only renovated will
not be provided with initial supplies.



Each hospital upgraded or renovated with 50 beds or 100 beds will be supplied with an
ambulance which is calculated at IR 400,000.

TABLE 12.1 provides the overview of project cost for each facility in accordance with the
above mentioned assumption.

The total number of newly provided beds within the project is approximately 700 whereby
some hospital facilities would have been completed before the end of the project. The
contribution within the project period of completed beds and the relevant recurring costs
amounts to IR 69.70 which is equivalent to DM 3.32 million. This amount is approximately
18% of the total project cost not considering contingency and inflation.

12.8

Total Project Budget

Within the total project budget, a 10% contingency rate of project cost or 7% of total project
funding is included. Approximately 8% inflation rate per year has been considered ((8% per
year of project cost) which represents 23% of the total project funding. The present inflation
rate is approximately 10% per year but this inflation will be partly offset by the currency
exchange rate between DM and 1R. The breakdown of the total budget is shown in TABLE

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

The intention of the Government of Karnataka is to start with the project at the beginning of
1996. The overall implementation of the project in two phases will take approximately seven
years.
For the first phase it is assumed that the 26 hospitals could be renovated and upgraded in four
years. The first stage of the project will require preparation of all design and engineering
works as well as the preparation of the tender documents. In the second and third year the
construction and engineering works for all hospitals will take place. During the same period
the supply of medical equipment will start.

The first hospitals should be ready in the third year of the project and the final handing over of
all facilities should be finished in the last month of the fourth year.
In the third year of the project the mid-term review will initiate the second phase of the project
which should at the very latest begin after the first phase is completed. The overall project
schedule is indicated in TABLE 13.1.

ANNEX 3
DEMAND OF SECONDARY HEALTH CARE BEDS

ANNEX 3

DEMAND FOR HOSPITAL BEDS IN GOVERNMENT SECTOR

o

The Directorate of Health and Family Welfare Services has under its control 255 hospitals,
CHCs, taluk and district level general hospitals with a total bed strength of 25,376 as per
records of the Directorate of Health and Family Welfare Services. The 24 taluk or sub- district
level hospitals and the 179 CHCs have -a total bed strength of 8,655. The District level and
teaching hospitals numbering 42 institutions account for 16,721 or 65.9 percent of beds in
CHCs, taluk and district level general hospitals.

The Planning Commission, in the seventh Five Year Plan document, has suggested a norm of
one bed per 1,000 population which includes both government as well as private sectors. It
has also stipulated that two thirds of the total beds, that is, one bed for 1,500 persons should
be provided by the government sector. As compared to this norm of 1,500 persons per bed,
there are 1481 persons per bed in the government sector. However, if one looks at the
distribution of beds by taluk, it will be observed that in 134 out of 175 taluks the persons per
bed exceeds 1,500 and in 90 taluks there are more than 2,500 persons per bed..
The epidemiological approach has been adopted in arriving at the requirement of beds in the
government sector. The results of the 42nd Round of National Sample Survey indicate a
hospital admission rate of 21.5 per thousand population and an average stay of 15 days. At an
average occupancy rate of 80 percent, the total beds in the government and private sectors
works out to 1,120 persons per bed. As two thirds of the beds are to be provided by the
government sector, the persons per bed should be 1,679 which is close to the norm set by the
Planning Commission.
The requirement of beds has been worked out by taluk. In determining the available beds, the
beds in PHUs and PHCs and hospitals for infectious diseases, Tuberculosis and other specialty
hospitals have been omitted. The PHU and PHC beds have been omitted as they are not
staffed to provide 24 hour nursing care and consequently their bed utilization is only 15
percent. The requirement of beds by taluk and the summary by district is presented in Table 1.

The shortage of beds is estimated at 11,831 beds on the basis of average stay in the
government hospitals of 15 days based on Assumption 1. However, it is expected that with the
various Project interventions the average stay will be brought down to 10 days which is similar
to the case of hospitals in the private sector. In this scenario (Assumption 2), the shortage in
beds is reduced to 6,084.
It has been decided to leave 52 CHCs located in places other than Taluka headquarters out of
the Secondary level Hospital network for the purpose of this Project. These will be treated as
first level referral units for providing expanded MCH and FW services.

The available beds in CHCs, taluk, district and teaching hospitals have been estimated from actual survey of
66 percent of such hospitals. The actual beds in CHCs are 79.5 percent of beds as per records of the
Directorate and 107.5 percent in other hospitals.
# Sum of shortfall in beds of taluks having beds less than norm.

The location and utilization of existing bed capacity of the remaining 170 Taluka hospitals
were studied. On the basis of need a list of 136 hospitals have been identified for expansion of
bed strength and 34 selected for rehabilitation. In all 4,987 beds are being added to the 136
Taluka Hospitals. A detailed survey of each institution is presently underway. The survey may
result in identifying an additional few hospitals for expansion.
Of the 46 hospitals located in District Headquarters, 31 are general hospitals and 15 are for
specific diseases. It has been decided to expand the district hospitals to a minimum bed
strength of 400 beds so that 100 beds could be set apart exclusively for women and children.
In all 1684 beds are proposed to be added in fourteen district hospitals.
Most of the fifteen hospitals for specific diseases are in a run down condition and need also
extensive rehabilitation.

ANNEX 4
NORMS FOR HEALTH CARE SER VICES

Report of the High Level Review Committee

A

High

Level

Review

Committee

was

constituted

to

examine

the

recommendations of the different working groups and finalise the norms for services,

equipment, physical space and staffing to be adopted for all hospitals at the secondary
level. The committee met on March 30, 1995. The members present were:

1. Mr. Gautam Basu, Secretary, DoHFW
2. Mr. Sanjay Kaul, Additional Secretary, DoHFW
3. Dr. Shivakumar Reddy, Deputy Secretary, Medical Education, DoHFW
4. Dr. M. T. Hema Reddy, Director, Health & Family Welfare Services
5. Dr. S. Kantha, Director, Medical Education
6. Dr. P.N. Halagi, Add! Director (Projects)
7. Dr. Jayakeerthi, Superintendent, Victoria Hospital
8. Dr. G. V. Vijayalakshmi, Jt. Director (Medical)
9. Dr. D. Timmaiah, Jt. Director, (Projects)
10. Mr. D.V.N. Sarma, Chairman, STEM, Bangalore
The committee scrutinised the recommendations of the various working

groups. The main conclusions are summarised below.

1.

A note of caution was added to the conditions and procedures recommended

by Medical, Surgical and Diagnostic Groups. No case should be refused
attention. At each level, all cases should be managed depending upon the
urgency, severity and immediacy of illness, stabilised and then referred, if
necessary, to the appropriate level.

2.

Modifications were made to some of the conditions and procedures
recommended by individual groups. These changes have been incorporated in

the recommendations of the respective groups.

3.

Staffing:



One post of R.M.O. has been created at the District Hospital to relieve
the District Surgeon of routine hospital duties and enable him to

oversee the functioning of other secondary level hospitals in the district,
f or this purpose the District Surgeon should be provided a vehicle.

52

. The Indian Nursing Council norm of one staff nurse for every five beds

SCOPE FOR COST SHARING IMPROVEMENT

ANNEX 5

STRENGTHENING OF SUSTAINABILITY OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES
1.

CURRENT STATUS OF USER CHARGES

The Government of Karnataka has a jsystem of' ‘levying charges for diagnostic services,
treatment and usage of wards in the hospitals managed by it. The last revision of these: user
charges was made in 1988 by order No: HEW 126 SiMM 86 dated March 10, 1988.

There are other types of charges levied e.g. certificates for physical fitness, wounds etc. Fifty
percent of the charges collected are retained by the government and the balance given to the
doctor issuing the certificate. Charges for the issuance of such certificates were fixed last in
1946 and have not been revised to date

The user charges are to be collected and remitted 1to the
’ treasury. Neither
\
the hospital
collecting the charge nor the Department of Health has access to the user charges collected.
As a consequence, there is no incentive to collect user charges. The average collections of user
charges per year during 1990-93, amounted to Rs. 107 million. Approximately 40 percent or
Rs. 41 million is on account of issuance of certificates and the balance amount of Rs. 66
million on account of ward charges and charges for surgery and investigations. In 1992-93 the
collection accounted for 3 percent of the expenditure of the health department.
No charge is levied on outpatients. The registration charges which used to be levied earlier
have been discontinued.

inpatients with annual family income of below Rs. 8,001 are exempted from paying charges
for any service as they are considered to be economically weaker sections. The patients with
family income of over Rs. 8,000 and admitted in general wards are charged a nominal amount
of Rs. 2 per day. There are charges for special wards, graded according to the number of beds
in such special wards, the maximum charge being Rs. 30 per day for a single bed in special
ward with basic diet included.

A schedule of rates exist, specifying fees for different services. Those admitted in special
wards irrespective of income and those with family income of over Rs. 20,000 admitted in
general wards have to pay the full charge as listed. Those admitted in general wards and with
family income of Rs. 8,001 to 20,000 per annum have to pay 50 percent of the charges while
those with income below are exempted from all charges.

The charges for issuance of certificates are low, when one considers the present day cost of
living. For example, the charge for issuing certificate for physical fitness is Rs. 5. There is
justification for substantial revision of these charges. Increasing the charges especially for
wound certificates does not affect the economically weaker sections since the certificates are
collected by the police without paying any charge when a complaint is lodged by them with the
police.

STRENGTHENING OF SUSTA1NABIUTY

ANNEX 5

OBJECTIVE OF STRENGTHENING OF SUST.AIN ABILITY

The appropriateness of adopting user charge principles and imposing user fees depends on the
type of service provided. Hospital services are mostly patient related curative services. There
is a scope to levy fees or charges on curative services provided a mechanism exists to adjust
fees depending on the patients ability to pay. Studies have shown that imposition of user fees
accompanied by improvement in quality can lead to increased utilisation because of the
switching effect i.e.—shift from private providers to Government facilities. However, the
additional revenues generated by levy of user fees may not be adequate to cover fully the
expenditure in improving quality through better facilities in terms of equipment and drugs.
The argument for levy of user fee is based on efficiency. If no user fee is imposed there will be
an "excess demand" for services especially hospital beds. Government hospitals are crowded
and often the resourceful but the undeserving people get free access, whereas the poor have to
incur " transaction costs" to get treatment or a hospital bed. Graded cost recovery from the
non-poor is expected to restrict demand for beds thereby releasing beds for the poor. Thus,
user fee may be a step in restoring equity; the poor may benefit proportionately more than the
non-poor.

Prescription or user fees may only slightly affect the demand negatively for health services
because demand for inpatient and outpatient care is highly inelastic. However, consumers will
be more responsive to the quality of care, time costs and the relative prices of alternative types
of care givers. Prescription or user fee will augment resources for the health sector and
should, therefore, lead to improvements in supply both in qualitative and quantitative terms.
Sustainability would also be promoted to a large extent because the revenue realised would
finance a portion of the operational costs thereby relieving the budgetary constraint. Cost
recovery would result in improvements in the quality of care if the resources generated
internally by a hospital are ploughed back for improving the availability of drugs and
equipment in that hospital.
To ensure a long term development of the health care delivery system it will be more and more
important to strengthen the cost sharing in the public health sector. The main objectives are:



Generate additional revenues for improving the quality of care at secondary level facilities
and at primary level facilities.



Encourage patients to use preventive and primary level facilities which will continue to
provide services free.



To force people to become more responsible for their own health care by sharing the cost
of curative services.

STRENGTHENING OF SUSTAINABILITY

ANNEX 5

STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE COST SHARING

3.1

Raising Revenue through User Charges

The ethical and social question really is: should the government provide medical services free
of charge to everyone or only to the poor? It may appear rational to expect the government to
provide only for the poor but this also has a disadvantage. Typically, targeting has its own
share of practical and administrative difficulties. Apart from incurring high administrative
costs, several schemes designed for the poor have left out significant proportions of the poor
and perhaps some undeserving ones have got included. Exclusion of the wealthy and middle
income groups can also lead to erosion of political support for the package and therefore, lead
to decreased funding. It is therefore to be recognised that imposition of user charges has to be
approached with a great deal of care and caution.

The National Sample Survey data shows that 56 percent of the patients from rural areas and
46 percent from urban areas admitted to general free wards in government hospitals, are from
middle and upper classes. Either the better off patients are understating their income to get
free services and/or there are not adequate special and paying general wards in government
hospitals. Currently, the government policies do not encourage spending government
resources in creating special wards.
A two-day workshop of District Surgeons and Specialists working in Secondary Level
Hospitals was organised in May 1994. The workshop recommended, among other things, that
in order to raise additional resources through user charges, at least one third of the beds in
government run hospitals should be converted over time into fee paying general and special
wards. Admission to general free wards might be restricted to those who are poor to prevent
the non-poor from enjoying free services. As a step towards this, one third of the proposed
increase of 3500 beds in district, sub-district, and Taluka hospitals will be planned as special
wards. The special wards then win account for 20 percent of total beds in these hospitals. A
moderate charge of Rs. 50 per day may be levied to recover a major part of the current
average cost excluding staff salary, of servicing a bed per day, which is estimated at Rs 70.
Some of the beds in special wards could be reserved for the public sector, private sector and
co-operative institutions located in the district against a fixed annual payment so that
availability of special ward to their employees is assured. An attempt will be made to obtain
administrative and political clearance for this from the Government of Karnataka.

A nominal registration fee say of Rs. 2 for each outpatient and Rs 5 for inpatients could be
introduced. The schedule of charges should be reviewed and should be related to cost of such
charges. Waiving of charges should be on criteria other than income as declared by the patient,
to prevent undue advantage taken by the non-poor.

There is also a potential for raising resources through a scheme of pre-paid health care plans
through organisations or co-operatives which supply inputs for agriculture and dairy and also
undertake collection, processing and marketing of produce. Workers in the organised sector
could also be covered. The hospitals could also offer health insurance policies.

STRENGTHENING GF SUSTAINABILITY

ANNEX 5

The fees for issuance of certificates need to be enhanced substantially. The charge for issuing
physical fitness certificate should be raised from Rs. 5 to Rs. 100 and similar increases could
be effected for other certificates.
The receipts from certificates can go up from Rs. 40 million to 800 million if the suggested
charges are implemented. Creation of 3600 beds in special wards of sub-district hospitals and
charging Rs. 50 per day would yield over Rs. 50 million at 80 percent bed occupancy.
Introduction of registration charges as indicated is expected to yield nearly Rs. 20 million at
the current level of outpatients and inpatients treated in government hospitals.
It is proposed to engage a consultant to assess the present arrangement, review the existing
pattern of user charges throughout the State and suggest to Government a revised schedule
consistent with the present needs.

3.2

Strengthening of Reporting and Monitoring System

With the revision of the fee structure an extensive programme will be developed with the aim
to implement the necessary collection, accounting, reporting and monitoring system. As basis
for decision making in DHFW a comprehensive survey in the Gulbarga Division will be
conducted with emphasis on the following:






Survey to assess the ability of patients to pay for services provided in public hospitals and
the scale of fees.
Perception of patients on the introduction of fees for medical services in return for quality
patient care.
Assessment of teaching and autonomous institutions in the area of cost sharing with
special emphasis on the adaptability of the existing system to government hospitals.
Assessment of patient fees and quality of services provided by private hospitals.

Based on the survey, the relevant documentation for strengthening of cost sharing will be
developed. For each hospital, a manual for cost sharing will be developed which will provide
the terms and references whereby all necessary information on fee collection will be provided
and this will include the following:






A guideline on charges for certificate, registration, consultation, diagnostic
procedures,ward charges, operation, medication etc.
Waivers and exemptions on charges for different categories of the population.
Strict accounting procedures and documentation for eveiy level of the health care delivery
system.
Reporting structures

Based on the information contained in the manual which will be made available to all districts,
a training workshop will be held to inform and train the respective staff in the hospital on the
procedures set out in the manual and how to implement the system in an equitable manner.

STRENGTHENING OF SUSTAINABILITY

ANNEX 5

Parallel to the above manual, a monitoring system will be developed with the following aim:







Identification of indicators per hospital by category and district
Revenues generated per facility
Assessement of how income generated is being spent in the district (Development fund)
Impact on quality of care
Impact on patients
Impact on services

The monitoring and evaluation programme shall ensure a balanced approach to cost sharing
measurements.

3.3

Autonomous Institutions

The State has four Super Speciality institutions which provide high quality care, located in
Bangalore. These institutions are:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology
Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology
The Indira Gandi Institute of Child Health
The Sanjay Gandhi Accident and Rehabilitation Institute

These institutions have been “autonomous” and are not bound by Govt, regulations. They are
managed by a Governing Body, which includes experts, the Secretaries of Finance and Health
besides the Health Minister and the Minister of Medical Education. The Chief Minister heads
the Governing Council.
It is significant to note that apart from a nominal grant-in-aid towards salaries and some
miscellaneous expenses received from the State Govt, these institutions have been structured
to raise resources through user charges. The Kidwai and Jayadeva Institutions have been quite
successful in levying user charges both for diagnostic as well as inpatient services.

This kind of restructuring will enable the State Govt, to devote greater attention and resources
to primary and secondary level health care. The entire revenue realised by the autonomous
institutions through “user charges” is retained by them and used for the upkeep and
maintenance of the facilities.

STRENGTHENING OF SUSTAINABILITY

ANNEX 5

4.

DEVELOPMENT FUND

Introduction of measures to augment resources will not automatically raise the level of
infrastructural work unless the concerned institution is in a position to reinvest a substantial
portion on the hospital. Ideally, each secondary and tertiary level hospital should establish a
"Development Fund” and open a Bank account where the collections from user charges would
be remitted.
All hospitals should also be entitled to receive donations from philanthropic organisations and
individuals, undertakings in the private and public sector etc. and credit to its ’’Development
Fund”. The money can then be used for undertaking civil works, purchase of equipment,
drugs, hospital supplies, etc.

However, it may not be practicable for each hospital to open a bank account. It is therefore
proposed to create a State Level Hospital Fund. All amounts realised as receipts from patients
and other fees collected would be accounted for in this fund. Based on the remittances. Health
& Family Welfare Department would release, on a quarterly basis, the estimated collections
during the quarter as an additional amount to its own departmental budget.
Health and Family Department will set up at the District level, a District Hospital
Development Committee with the Deputy Commissioner as its Chairman. The Development
Committee will be permitted to open a bank account. This committee would be entitled to
receive donations from philanthropists individuals, public sector etc., and credit such donations
to its bank account. Every quarter based on the amounts released from the State Level Fund,
the Health and Family Welfare Department will release money to the District Hospital

SCOPE FOR IMPROVEMENT ON MAINTENANCE

ANNEX 7

1.

LNTRODUCTION

In recent years, the Government of Karnataka has invested in the development of health care
facilities at the primary and secondary health care level. The renovation period for major repairs
ot building and equipment is very short because there is no proper maintenance. The lack of
maintenance is because of an insufficient maintenance budget, lack of facilities and manpower.
Execution of maintenance work is also hampered by bureaucratic procedures organisation wide.
Presently only district hospitals have a budget for maintenance and all other maintenance requests
have to follow a complicated and bureaucratic way to get the approval and execution for any
maintenance work. The improvement on the maintenance work will not only be pending on the
funds, facilities and manpower but will also require an improvement on the procedures in
making the funds available

OBJECTIVE

With the implementation ot the upgrading of secondary health care facilities by the KfW project
and the World Bank project, the whole state of Karnataka will be covered and both projects
intend to improve the maintenance capabilities for the public sector. Financed by the Worid Bank
project, the implementation of training facilities in Bangalore for biomedical engineering is
oreseen. Besides the establishment of training facilities, maintenance facilities at division level
will be established.
The KfW project will be similar to the World Bank project and
is to establish maintenance
facilities at division level. The aim is as follows:-

Z^alysTand0?!^1™551011’ maintain and service medical equipment for diagnostic, monitoring,





3.

To maintain and service heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and power systems.
Provide expert technical services/advice on the purchase of equipment, spares and service
contracts
Organize training for technicians and users
Modify existing equipment if required
Maintain records for administration and management of decision making processes
To establish and monitor external maintenance contracts

REQUIREMENTS

o achieve the above mentioned objective the establishment of workshop facilities in each of the
district hospitals m Gulbarga, Bellary, Raichur and Eidar is proposed whereby the district hospital
workshop will also provide maintenance to the other hospitals within the district At a later stage
the DHFW can expand the maintenance facilities to Taluka level hospitals.

ANNEX?

3,1

Organizational Requirements

The district hospital workshop will be provided with a budget for the district hospital and also for
the other hospitals. All maintenance and repair work for medical equipment and engineering
works will be executed and decided at district level. The'limit for a single repair work will be Rs
20,000 for the District Hospital, Rs 10,000 for the Taluka Hospital (General Hospital) and Rs
5,000 for the Community Health Centre. Above this limit, approval from the DHFW will be
required.
The workshop will administrate the maintenance work for all respective facilities and prepare the
annual budget and will propose external maintenance contracts.

THE SELECTED FACILITIES

The basis for the selection of facilities for upgrading are described herewith by district and
taluka. It should be noted that selection was confined to data and other information that were
provided by the state or district health authorities. The information was verified by the survey
team at each of the sites. In accordance with the survey team’s findings, the scope of
services for upgrading was changed in some cases. Thus, the final report may differ from the
Stage Report submitted beginning of May 1995 as the survey will be completed at the end of
May 1995.

Although the upgrading is described in terms of bed capacity, it must be noted that bed
capacity corresponds with other facilities, such as number of professional staff including
medical specialists and range of services offered.
In the following section, the socio demographic indicators and data related to existing beds
may differ from data in the previous section. The information provided in the section below
are the most recent figures from district statistics which were collected within this year.
