15. TARGET
1] Reduction of poverty ratio by 5 percent points by 2007, and
by 15 percent points by 2012;
2] All children in school by 2003; all children to complete 5
year of schooling by 2007;
3] Reduction in gender gaps in literacy and wage rates by at
least 50% by 2007.

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
16. ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (2007-2012)
The 10th plan aimed at providing essential primary health
care, particularly to the underprovided & underserved
segments of our population it also sought to devolve
responsibilities & funds for health care to PRIS.
However, progress to words these objectives has been slow &
targets on MMR & IMR hare been missed.
Accessibility remains a major issue especially in areas where
habitations are scattered & women & children continue to die
en route to hospitals.
Rural health care in most states is marked by absenteeism of
doctor/health providers, law level of skills, shortage of
medicines, inadequate supervision an/monitoring & callous
attitudes.
There are neither rewards for service providers nor punishment
for defaulters.
As a results, health outcomes in India are adverse compared to
others countries. www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
17. ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (2007-2012)
A comprehensive approach which encompasses individual health
care, public health, sanitation, clean drinking water, access to food &
knowledge about hygiene & feeding practice is needed.
With concerted action including enabling pregnant women to hare
institutional deliveries & receive nutritional supplements, connecting PHCs
& CHCs by all weathers roads so that they can be reached quickly in
emergencies; (accessibility to hospital should be measured in terms of
travel time, not just distance from nearest PHC); providing home-based
neonatal care including emergency life saving measures etc; it would be
possible to achieve the millennium development goals for IMR, MMR and
for combating diseases by the end of the 11th plan.
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
18. The 11th plan will first lay emphasis on
Integrated district health plan and second on block specific
health plans,
Involvement of all health sectors & emphasize partnership
with NGOS ensure quality health care in rural areas & special
needs of people who are HIV positive, in particular women.
Plan will continue to advocate fertility regulation, special
health care needs of the elderly.
Following areas are to be strengthened:
1] National Rural Health Mission
2] Disability and mental health
3] Financing health services
4] Clean water for all
5] Sanitation.
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
19. NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH MISSION

50%by2010&sustaining it at that level till 2012.
Cataract operations increasing to 46lakh per
annum.
Leprosy prevalence rate-reduce from 1.8per 10,000
in 2005 to less than 10,000 thereafter.
TB DOTS Series-maintain 85%care through
mission period.
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
21. DISABILITY&MENTAL HEALTH:
Coping with challenges of living in a rapidly
developing society & increasing exposure to a
violent world has led to a perceptible increase in
mental stress.
11th plan should recognize the importance of
mental health care &should concentrate on
providing counseling, medical services&
establishing help lines for all-especially people
affected by calamities, riots &violence.
The 2001 census reveals that 2.13%of Indian
population or approximately 2.19 crore people in
India suffer from severe disability.
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
22. BHART NIRMAN
Bharat Nirman is time –bound business plan for action
in rural infrastructure over the four year period [2005-
2009] under bharat nirman action is proposed in the
areas of:
1] Irrigation –To create 10 million hectares of
additional irrigation capacity.
2] Rural roads-To connect all habitations with
population above 1000 [500 in hilly/tribal areas] with
all roads.
Rural housing-To construct 60 lakh houses for rural
poor.
Rural water supply-
Rural electrification
Rural telephony www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
23. FINANCING HEALTH SERVICES
Emerging health systems involves additional government expenditure. The
existing level of government expenditure on health in India is just under 1%
which is unacceptably low &efforts should be made to increase the total
expenditure at the center & the states to 2-3% of GDP.
Clean water for all.
Waterborne infections hamper absorptions of food even when intake is
sufficient.
Clean drinking water is therefore vital to reduce the incidence of disease&
to check malnutrition.
The 10th plan target of providing potable drinking water to all villages has
not been achieved.
Sanitation.
Rural health sanitation is covered 35%by the end of the plan.

37. POLIO ERADICATION PULSE POLIO
PROGRAMME
INTRODUCTION
The world assembly passed a resolution in May 1988
to eradicate the dreaded polio from the face of the
earth by the end of year2000.
In 1995India took a step closer to eradicating polio,
through the strategy of National Immunization Days-
Pulse Polio Immunization .
Polio can be caused by three types of wild polio
viruses-Type I, Type II &Type III.
Type I polio virus is predominantly isolated in children
with paralysis.
It is estimated that for every child with paralytic polio,
at least 100 other children are affected who have either
no symptoms or have only nonspecific symptoms of a
mild illness.
Oral polio vaccine (Trivalent) is considered to be
effective in preventing polio.www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
38. STRATEGIES FOR POLIO ERADICATION IN INDIA
Conduct Pulse Polio Immunization days every year for 3-
4years or until poliomyelitis is eradicated.
Sustain high levels of routine immunization coverage.
Monitor OPV coverage at district level & below.
Improve surveillance capable of detecting all cases of AFP due
to polio & non-polio etiology.
Ensure rapid case investigation, including the collection of
stool samples for virus isolation.
Arrange follow-up of all cases of AFP at 60 days to check for
residual paralysis.
Conduct outbreak control for cases confirmed or suspected to
be poliomyelitis to stop transmission.www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
39. CURRENT FOUR BASIC STRATEGIES TO ERADICATE
POLIO
1)Routine Immunization –Immunize every child with at least 4 doses of oral polio
vaccine (Trivalent vaccine)
2)National Immunization Days/Pulse Polio Immunization program/Sub-National
Immunization Days
3)Surveillance of Acute Flaccid Paralysis-To find places with circulation of wild
poliovirus.
----Components---
-Establishment &maintenance of reporting units.
-AFP case notification.
-AFP case investigation.
-Stool specimen collection & transportation.
-Outbreak response immunization
-Active case search in the community.
60-days follow up examination
Cross notification &tracking of cases.
Data management &analysis.
Case classification
Feedback.
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
40. CURRENT B. S.
4)Conduct extensive house to house immunization mopping-up campaigns
-Mopping Up
-Operationalization – Macro planning & micro planning
New initiatives
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
41. DIARRHEA CONTROL PROGRAMME &ORS
PROGRAMME
The best treatment for dehydration is Oral Rehydration therapy
by Oral Rehydration salt solution.
The latest study's findings suggest that using the low-
sodium, low-glucose& reduced osmolarity ORS formulation
reduces the need for intravenous fluids by33%
The effect of this reduction could result in fewer children
requiring hospitalization, fewer secondary infections, a
diminished need to handle blood with its potentially dangerous
consequences, & lower health care costs.

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
45. PROPHYLAXIS
Vitamin A, schedule recommended under the National
Program for Prophylaxis against Blindness in Children caused
due to Vitamin A deficiency that is now integrated with RCH
Program, starting at 9 months.
Five doses of vitamin A are given to all children under three
years of age.
The first dose 1lakh units is given at nine months of age along
with measles vaccination.
The second dose2lakh units along with DPT/OPV doses
&three doses are given 6months interval(2lakh units each).

46. TREATMENT
Two doses of 2 lakh IU vitamin A are given 4weeks apart
according to program.
Nutritional Counseling –Vitamin A rich food.
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in
47. RNTCP (Pediatric tuberculosis)
Pediatrics & TB culminated in a national workshop on the
“Management of pediatric TB under RNTCP.”
This workshop resulted in modification of the RNTCP
guidelines for the diagnosis & treatment of pediatric patients.
A major recommendation was that the drugs for pediatric TB
cases under RNTCP should be supplied in patient-wise boxes.
Treatment will be based on the child's body weight &there will
be two PWBs
One for the 6-10kg weight band,& the second for the 11-17 kg
weight band.
DOTS programme in the world is not available for children.
Children weighing less than 6kg will be treated with loose anti-
TB drugs.
