DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICAL CAMPS IN RURAL AREAS

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT

Primary healthcare facilities are severely lacking in areas like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal,
Jharkhand, and Andhra Pradesh.
A deficiency here indicates that there aren't nearly enough facilities to meet the demand for
healthcare services in the states.
The largest percentage gap in sub-centers is found in Bihar.
A government hospital in India's rural areas charges an average rural family ₹4,280 for
deliveries. According to a recent State of Inequality report, this cost may reach ₹27,000 if they
decide to go to a private institution.
Most villages seek medical attention most frequently for childbirth, thus a nearby government
institution can be helpful. At 58%, Bihar's population is more than half without access to even a
midwife, much less the doctors who are often found at sub-centers. A subcenter also employs a
male healthcare professional who handles necessities like immunizations.
Many residents of rural areas lack access to medical care and medications. Some people, like
daily wagers, don't even have the money to pay for medical care and prescription drugs.
Physically challenged persons, pregnant women and elderly persons are the biggest
beneficiaries of the medical camps.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The main objective of a medical camp is to provide initial care to people in life-threatening conditions
which reflect the unique strengths and goals of medical ethics. Other objectives are as stated below: -
Provide free and high-quality medical services and full body complete medical check-up for the poor
population.
Many patients from Kothavalasa, Vepada, Anantagiri, Araku, and other mandals are needed to
travel to Visakhapatnam or Vizianagaram for treatment due to the lack of medical services in
these areas. Despite the fact that they receive free care at King George Hospital in
Visakhapatnam and Maharaja Government Hospital in Vizianagaram, getting there is frequently
challenging. The caregivers of patients who are unable to find housing on the hospital grounds
must pay to remain in lodges.
Additionally, the rural population is growing more and more disinterested with the government-
run healthcare system. People have begun to avoid them in a few states.
Andhra Pradesh has seen declines in all three areas, suggesting that overworked healthcare
organisations may be less engaged with the community, provide patients with subpar care, and
have inadequately sized medical facilities.
The current needs of the Indian population cannot be met by inadequate institution-based
services due to a high patient load dispersed over a huge area. Delivering healthcare to patients at
their homes is a benefit and flexibility of a camp-based strategy, but the quality of care is
frequently a cause for worry. The primary issue in this style of health service delivery is
complications, which can be minimised with the use of guidelines and operational norms. To
ensure completeness and uniformity of service, guidelines can give the healthcare provider
direction. Following SOPs guarantees that every aspect of healthcare is provided in the proper
sequence, from consultation through follow-up and audit.

MARKET ENTRY AND DEMAND FEASIBILTY

If a rural resident requires medical attention, they should visit a PHC, or primary healthcare
centre. In Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal, more than half of the
population lacks it. A PHC, or primary healthcare centre, provides both preventative and curative
treatment, has at least four beds, and may serve a population of 20,000 people, whereas a sub-
center only provides extremely basic services like immunisation.
Less PHCs means greater distance in accessing healthcare and more strain on existing centres.
According to the research, Jharkhand only has 291 PHCs despite the fact that it requires at least
1,000 to adequately serve its population.
STATE SHORTAGE
Uttar Pradesh 51%
West Bengal 58%
Jharkhand 73%
Andhra Pradesh 60%

The states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal in particular,
which have a severe dearth of PHCs, are among those with a considerable number of rural areas
lacking adequate

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
 5

It is the element that will have the biggest impact on how the camp is run. Technology transfer is
the process of transferring knowledge and expertise about a disease and its management from a
qualified health practitioner to the neighborhood's resident medical staff. This will allow the
local health professional for early diagnosis of disease even after the camp and refer the case to
the recommended treatment destination whenever needed. This allows the overall capacity
building of the local health professionals so as he/she can manage the patients who come for
follow-up after the camp.
The local health authority should get the morbidity profile that was compiled during the camp
along with the appropriate recommendations and, if feasible, photographs. Similarly the
morbidity profile of the community can be communicated by scientific publications so as to
deliver it to public health personals working in improving the health status of the people in
community.
Planning a health camp scientifically will benefit greatly by having adequate understanding of
the disease's recent prevalence in the targeted population. Additionally, it would aid in selecting
the camp's medical staff and specialists. Eg. Conducting an epilepsy camp in a place with a very
low prevalence of the condition or without any pertinent information about it will have no
significance. A periodic camp can be held in the targeted area to lower the disease prevalence
rate if accurate statistics on a particular disease are available. It can be obtained by contacting the
local government or private health organisation in the region where the camp will be held.

FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY

There are many cost estimators that offer broad ranges of costs on the Internet. However, each
hospital has a distinct renovation budget. Costs can be broadly divided into three categories:
 Materials and labour are the hard costs.
 Expenses for architectural design, licences, insurance, surveys, engineering, taxes, and
other project components are referred to as "soft costs."
 Financing expenses: read more about this in our building finance guide.
Cost is also influenced by a variety of factors, some of which are as follows:
 The length and area of your project Location, which has an impact on resource
 6

availability as well as land and labour costs

 Project schedule: Fast-track jobs frequently demand more labour, increasing cost
materials (and project timing) – some materials are more expensive than others, and the
cost of many materials fluctuates depending on the state of the market
 Long-term energy and operational costs must be taken into account because they can
exceed building costs; a life cycle cost analysis is advised.

The best method to keep costs under control and maximise value is to hire knowledgeable
estimators and a skilled Design-Build team.
To evaluate and quantify the operational efficiencies of your facilities, get engineers and
designers in. That covers things like:
 Building systems such the mechanical, electrical, and HVAC
 Energy use, energy efficiency measures, and cost-cutting measures
 Design and transportation patterns
 Radiological equipment and Pyxis Supply Station Systems are examples of medical
technologies.
 Patient and staff security
 Staff effectiveness
 Code adherence

These evaluations assist your project team in promoting efficiency, prioritising issues, and
locating solutions in terms of space allocation, planning the layout of the building, and new
building systems.

WORK BREAK DOWN STRUCTURE

Breaking work into smaller tasks is a common productivity technique used to make the work
more manageable and approachable. For projects, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is
the tool that utilizes this technique and is one of the most important project management
 8

documents.

GHANT CHART FOR THE PROJECT

 9

A Gantt chart is a regularly used graphical illustration of a project timetable. It is a specific kind
of bar chart that displays the beginning and ending dates of various project components,
including resources, planning, and dependencies.

It helps in scheduling, managing, and monitoring certain tasks and resources in a project. It
consists of a list of tasks and bars representing each task's progress. The project timeline is
shown by horizontal bars of varying lengths, which can also include task durations, start and end
dates, and task sequences.

CONCLUSION
 10

In order to achieve universal health coverage, the state should regularly include health camps in
its policies and programmes, making the most use of its limited resources. Health camps are an
efficient approach to provide primary healthcare to the public, typically in underserved areas. As
these kinds of activities with specialised services are a cost-effective method to bridge the
significant gap in reaching universal health care, especially in rural regions, this will allow
organising a camp in an efficient manner with a high-benefit intervention.

The goal of free medical camps is to provide the needy with unwavering care while battling
diseases and malnutrition. Along with offering primary healthcare, the camps also help to
educate the public about the importance of access to healthy food, clean water, pollution threats,
the benefits of preventive healthcare, and the importance of family planning information and
services. Patient rights, including the right to privacy, information, life, and high-quality
healthcare, are tightly reserved and upheld in the medical camps. These camps also cater to the
vulnerable population, such as people living with HIV, as well as marginalised groups like
displaced people, racial and ethnic minorities, and migrants.
