Provision of health has always been a challenging factor in terms of acquisition of sufficient medical aid to the people. It is true that the health system moves at a rotatory speed in city. When we consider the health system at the village and tribal areas the approach at the grassroots has to be strengthened.

Approach to Health

The application and implementation requires care full planning as these are sensitive areas of health. Understanding them, develop feeling of belonging and acceptance, ear to listen and taking them into confidence allows safe movement of the health team and implementing health services becomes easier.

Working in the village and tribal setup is not an easy task you deal with plenty of challenges on your way to health Overcoming those is like kindling millions of threads together, this includes safety of health team members and provision of basic needs and amenities and evacuation during emergency needs. The believes, practices of communities might be strange for others, however it’s the team that has to

• Focus only on the health requirement

• Establish the foundation

• Built the concern for health focusing on specific health need or holistic health need where the ultimate goal has to be a comprehensive health care, at an affordable cost and acceptable to them.

At times health becomes more affordable when it is supported or funded financially from an outside source, this allows delivery of health services free of cost to the underprivileged community. As we know that in order to value the health services delivered a reasonable cost will always strengthen the responsibility of patients enrolled. On a high priority it has to be intruded among the members of the health team that the services provided should be on open grounds and should not discriminate any patients based on caste, creed, race and sex.

Community Involvement

Involving the people of the community in delivering the health services is always considered on a better note, ironically the challenge here arises is the misconception that they can spread so, it’s a must that the person involved should be clear of the role they do and propagate the health action equally, without any discrimination. Being one among them is challenging as they have their own superstitious beliefs, it’s better to ignore and outcast from the source that hinders the health action plan and treat them on human grounds. Holistically and solictically the renewed characteristics that embraces, modifies, reincarnates, distinguishes the plan of action solely depends on the objectives set and with evolution of health demand the approach to health services are simplified and aligned systematically giving a new phase to the expansion of community / public health.

The major focus of health services in these areas are

• Mother and Child Health

• Birth Control Measures (Contraceptives)

• Nutrition

• Safe water supply and Sanitation

• Vaccination

• Medical Care

• Mental Health

Persisting advancement and improved health condition will assure in renewing the mindset, as the people will testify facts, that they go through and realize the benefits that has been brought to them.

Managed care directs the promotion of health, health education and responsible self-care. Early identification of disease determines quick action for assessment, treatment planning, linking, advocacy and monitoring.
