72.2% of registered NCD patients received drugs through volunteers or field staff at their doorstep during
COVID 19 lockdown.
COST-EFFECTIVENESS
• For this model, National Health Mission engaged the existing human resources like Village
Health Nurses, Women Health Volunteers, teams working in Mobile Medical Unit and RBSK
teams were utilised to distribute the NCD Drugs to the doorsteps of the patients based on the
line-list.
• In addition to that, a portal for volunteers was created at the State Level. Volunteers
registered were also utilized by the local District Administrations to deliver drugs at the
doorsteps of the NCD patients.
• MMUs and RBSK vehicles were utilized for mobility in the above model. Hence the cost for
separate vehicles for transportation was not required.
• Thus, the State was able to effectively deliver drugs at the doorstep of NCD patients in a cost-
effective manner.
LESSONS AND CHALLENGES
• Covid19 pandemic has showed that we should have alternate viable plan
for providing Health care services to the most vulnerable population.
