THE PAST:
For over 30 years Family Welfare Programme was known for its
rigid, target based approach in contraceptives. The performance
was measured by the reported numbers of the four contraceptive
methods-Sterilisaticn, Intrauterine device, Oral pills and Conaoms.
This was widely criticised for being a coercive approach.
The 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and
Development (ICPD) formulated a growing International consensus
that improving reproductive health and family planning is essential
to human welfare and development.
A growing body of evidence and the Cairo consensus suggest
"Numerical method specific contraceptive target and
monetary incentives" for providers to be replaced by a broader
system of "programme performance goals" and measures
focussed on a range of reproductive health services.

The World Bank report-1995 concludes that, the current
contraceptive "Target and Incentive" system gives a demographic
planning emphasis to family welfare programme (FWP) which is
antithetical to the reproductive and child health (RCH) client
centered approach advocated in the GOI-ICPD country statement
for the Cairo conference. In particular emphasis on numerical
targets is a major reason for the lack of attention to the individual
client needs and is detrimental to the quality of services provided.

Family Welfare Programme to Reproductive Child Health
-The paradigm shift:
To date the impact of Family Welfare Programme has been
measured in terms of their contribution to increase contraceptive
prevalence and to decrease fertility. These indicators are
inadequate for measuring the impact of reproductive Health
Programme and therefore, new indicators for monitoring
reproductive health services and "Service Quality" from the
perspective of the client are urgently needed.
Over the past decade there has been a clearer articulation and
definition of reproductive health as a concept and some thinking on
the ways in which reproductive health problems should be
addressed.
Against this background the main recommendations of the World
Bank report on the Indian Family Welfare Programme (FWP) is that
the programme is to be re-oriented expeditiously to a Reproductive
and Child Health approach (RCH). The main objective of which
would be to meet individual client health and family planning needs
and to provide high quality services.

The principle goal of a reproductive health programme is to
" Reduce unwanted fertility " safely there by responding to the
needs of the individuals for "High quality health services" as well
as to the demographic objectives.

The report recommends that the targets be replaced by a broad set
of performance goals and greater emphasis on "male
contraceptive methods" especially vasectomy and condoms
and greater choice of methods.
_________________________
" Government goals for family planning should be defined in
terms of unmet needs for information and services.
Demographic goals should not be imposed in family planning
providers in the form of targets or quotas1'
-World Bank -1995

-3-

The trend of health programme should change from a "Population
Control Approach" of reducing number to an approach that is
"Gender Sensitive and Responsive" client based approach of
addressing the reproductive health needs of individuals, couples
and families.
Reproductive Health Programmes should aim to reduce the
burden of unplanned and unwanted child bearing and related
morbidity and mortality.__________________________________
What is reproductive Health ?
The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development
at Cairo (ICPD) has indicated a consensus definition as a "State of
complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity in all matters relating to reproductive
system and its function and processes"

Reproductive health approach means that
*

People have ability to reproduce and regulate their
fertility.

Women are able to go through pregnancy and child birth
safely.
*

The outcome of pregnancy is successful in terms of
maternal and infant survival and well being and

Couples are able to have sexual relation free of the fear of
pregnancy and of contracting diseases.
(Fathallah-1988)

The reproductive health approach believe that it is linked to the
subject of reproductive rights and freedom and to women status and
empowerment. Thus it extends beyond the narrow confines of family
planning to encompass all aspects of human sexuality and
reproductive health needs during the various stages of life cycle.

-4-

Reproductive health programme is concerned with a set of
Specific Health Problems
*

Identifiable cluster of client groups

*

Distrinctive goals and strategies

The programme enable clients:

To make informed choices
*

Receive screening
Counseling services

*

Education for responsible and healthy sexuality

*

Access services for prevention of unwanted pregnancy
Safe abortion

Maternity care and child survival
*

Prevention and management of reproductive morbidity.

Implementing reproductive health services means a change in
the existing culture of the programme from one that focuses on
achieving targets to one that aim at providing a range of quality
services.

-5-

Objective of RCH packages are :
1. Meet individual client health and family planning needs.

2. Provide high quality services.
3. Ensure greater service coverage
RCH Policy :

The fundamentai policy change is that Instead of remaining
responsible for reducing rate of population growth, reproductive
health programme would become responsible for reducing burden
of unplanned and unwanted child bearing and related morbidity and
mortality.
Further the basic assumption is that improvement in service quality
will result in client satisfaction and will over long term translate into
higher contraceptive prevalence and ultimately fertility regulation. By
providing good quality services the programme will be able to
achieve the objective of not only reducing fertility but also reducing
reproductive morbidity and mortality.

New Signals :
Shifting to reproductive health approach implies changing the
implementation signals. :
* Client satisfaction becomes the primary programme goal
with demographic impact a secondary though important
concern.
* Broadening the service package is necessary
* Improving service quality becomes the top priority.

-6-

The new signals for a quiet revolution in the way the programme is
planned and managed are :
Primary goal
: While still encouraging smaller families
help Client meet their own health and
F.P. needs.
Priority services : Full range of family planning services
Performance measures

Management approach

Attitude to client
Accountability

: Quality of care, client
satisfaction, coverage
measures.
: Decentralised, client-needs
driven, gender sensitive
: Listen, assess needs, inform.
: To the client and community
plus health and F.W. staff.

Reproductive Morbidity and Mortality :

*

*

1/3 of the total disease burden in the developing country of
women 15-44 years of age is linked to health
problems related to pregnancy, child birth, abortion,
HIV and Reproductive tract infections (RTI’s).
The heavy load of reproductive morbidity among Indian
women is an outcome of their:
1. Poverty
2. Powerlessness 3. Low social status
4. Malnutrition 5. Infection 6. High fertility
7. Lack of access to health care
India's maternal mortality ratio, usually estimated at 400500 per 1,00,000 live birth is fifty times higher than that in
the developed countries.
In India a small study has revealed that for every women
who dies, an estimated 16 others develop various risks.
Chronic and debilitating conditions such as vaginal
fistulas and uterine prolapse cause terrible suffering.

CHILD SURVIVAL AND SAFE MOTHERHOOD PROGRAMME
TO
REPRODUCTIVE AND CHILD HEALTH SERVICES
Implementation of a very important, massive and highly credible
UIP programme from 1985 to 1991 throughout the country has
made a break-through in the improvement of mother and child
health services. In spite of this, compared to developed countries,
our country is still lagging behind in respect of sensitive indicators
such as infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate.

Looking at the perinatal mortality which contributes 50% of the
infant mortality rate and also one mother dying out of 250
pregnancies, it can be concluded that immunization alone is not
adeguate and will not be able to bring down these death rates.

Hence along with the immunization programme, a package of
services named "CHILD SURVIVAL AND SAFE MOTHERHOOD"
was implemented with the World Bank assistance from April-1992
to September-1996 in all the states.
i

The main objectives of CSSM programme are

Improvement in mother and child health
Lowering the infant deaths (0 to 1 year) child mortality
(1 to 4 years) and maternal deaths.
The package of services under this programme are :
CHILDREN :
1. Essential new born care
2. Immunization (BCG, DPT, Polio and Measles)
3. Appropriate management of diarrhoea cases
4. Appropriate management of ARI
5. Vitamin 'A' prophylaxis

-8-

MOTHERS:
1. Ante-natal care and identification of maternal
complications
2. Immunization (against Tetanus)
3. Deliveries by trained personnel
4. Prevention and treatment of anaemia
5. Promotion of Institutional deliveries
6. Management of Emergency Obstetric Care (EmOC)
7. Birth spacing

THE RCH PACKAGE :

..

During 1995-96, Mandya was identified as Target Free District and
the performance was measured by certain quality indicators. Based
on the experience, from April 1996 all the districts in Karnataka
have adopted "Target Free Approach" and from Sept. 1997 onwards
as Community Needs Assessment Approach. The implementation
of earlier isolated programmes concentrating on Family Welfare
and Mother and Child Health under National Family Welfare
Programme will now be implemented as an Integrated
Reproductive and Child Health Services which is equivalent to

THE PACKAGE OF
REPRODUCTIVE AND CHILD HEALTH SERVICES
Reproductive Child Health (RCH) can be defined as a state in which "People
have the ability to reproduce and regulate their fertility: women are able to go
through pregnancy and child birth safely, the outcome of pregnancy is
successful in terms of maternal and infant survival and well being; and couples
are able to have sexual relations free of the fear of pregnancy and contracting
disease". This means that every couple should be able to have child when they
want and, that the pregnancy is uneventful and see, that the, safe delivery
services are available, that at the end of the pregnancy the mother and the
child are safe and well and the contraceptives by choice are available to
prevent pregnancy and of contracting disease.

The essential elements of reproductive and child health services at the
community and sub-centre level are given below which will help you to
understand how the reproductive and child health services are to be provided
at the community level. The different services provided under RCH programme
ar©.
I. FOR THE MOTHERS :
* TT Immunization
* Prevention and treatment of anaemia
Antenatal care and early identification of maternal complications

* Deliveries by trained personnel
*
Promotion of institutional deliveries
*
Management of Obstetric emergencies
Birth spacing
II. FOR THE CHILDREN



Essential newborn care
Exclusive breast feeding and weaning

Immunization
Appropriate management of diarrhoea
*
Appropriate management of ARI

IMPLEMENTATION OF RCH PROGRAMME
IN
KARNATAKA STATE
I) POLICY ISSUES :

X

Reproductive & Child Health Programme will be implemented in the State as a

100% Centrally Sponsored Family Welfare Programme during the Ninth Five Year
Plan ending by 2000-2002 A.D.
*

.State Government has principally agreed to implement and a Government Order
has been issued to this effect (No.HFW 96 FPR 95 dated 17-6-1998).

According to this
*

The funds will flow from Government of India through 'State Finance Department'

*

The programme will be implemented as a National component and Sub Project -

(Bellary Dist.)
*

Posts created under CSSM Programme will be continued under RCH budget.

*

The Empowered Committee & a Steering Committee will monitor, guide and solve

the problems of implementation of RCH Programme.
*

The following posts have been redesignated :

Additional Director (FW&MCH): Project Director (RCH

*

Joint Director (FW)

Joint Project Director (RCH)

District MCH Officer

:Dist. RCH Officer

Procurement will be done through Karnataka Health Systems Development

Project.
*

Minor Civil Works to subcentres, Primary Health Centres, Community Health

Centres will be done through IPP-IX.

-18II) FUNDING : A sum of Rs. 190.10 crores will be available to Karnataka State during the
Ninth Plan as cash and kind assistance. This includes cash assistance of Rs. 15.05 crores

exclusively to Bellary Sub-Project.
III) CATEGORY OF DISTRICTS : The RCH Programme will be implemented in the State

based on differential approach. Inputs in all the districts have not been kept uniform
because efficient delivery will depend on the capability of the health system in the district.

Therefore basic facilities are proposed to be strengthened and streamlined specially in the
weaker districts as the better-off districts already have such facilities and the more
sophisticated, facilities are proposed for the relatively advanced districts which have
acquired capability to make use of them effectively. All the districts have been categorised
into : Category 'A'-3 districts, Category ’B'-11 districts, Category '0-6 districts.

On the basis of crude birth rate and female literacy rate which reasonably reflect the RCH
status of the State the districts will be covered in a phased manner over three years.

Category wise phasing of the districts and the facilities to be provided are as follows:
