ComparativeCost Analysis of Public & Pvt Health Inst. for Maternal and Child Health Services
During 11th plan, the Government of India had given major thrust to lower down maternal and infant mortality by promoting institutional deliveries in family welfare programme. Gujarat has implicitly adopted the same by introducing Chiranjeevi Yojana using voucher system under public private partnership with private gynaecologist. However, sustainability of the package remains at stake with the growing market prize that affects the partnership with empaneled doctors in the ongoing Maternal Health Scheme. The current study is conducted in the public health institutions located in remote and backward areas at secondary and tertiary level of public health institutions in Dahod district. The study is conduct to know the cost implication of delivery services in public health institutions during pre, post implementation of Chiranjeevi Yojana, and compare the result of the study with the existing market rates and the financial package of the ongoing maternal health scheme. We hope the recommendation of the study will play a major role in revising the ongoing financial package of Maternal Health Scheme (Chiranjeevi Yojana) with better strategy.
