(Sub Health Centre - Health and Wellness Centre Committee)

I. Background

(i) Under Ayushman Bharat, the Health and Wellness Centres are being created by upgrading existing

Sub Health Centres (SHCs) and Primary Health Centres (PHCs) to provide comprehensive primary

health care services. Such a transformation is expected to enable these HWCs to serve as the first

port of call for a range of primary health care services spanning preventive, promotive, curative,

rehabilitative and palliative care. HWCs are also expected to play public health role and focus on

collective community action on Social Determinants of Health, and Social Audit and

Accountability.

(ii) Rogi Kalyan Samities (RKS) were established under the National Health Mission (NHM) in all

health care facilities at the level of the PHC and above. RKS were envisioned as local level

institutional mechanism to enable action for improvement in the availability and quality of hospital

infrastructure and services, and promoting a culture of accountability amongst service providers to

those seeking care in health care facilities. The RKS were seen as a mechanism for promoting

active public participation in health care.

(iii) At the SHC level, the ASHA and Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committees, (and

subsequently the Asha and Mahila Arogya Samities – MAS - in urban areas) were expected to

undertake community action for health, in the form of monitoring health and related public

services through undertaking semi-annual Jan Sunwais or community hearings, at which staff

from HWC and SHC would also be present.

(iv) RKS is a registered society to manage the affairs of health facilities in consonance with the

principle of decentralization and devolution of administrative and financial powers. Their

composition includes members from Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), NGOs, persons of

eminence, and officials from Government sector including health who are responsible for proper

functioning and management of the facilities. RKS at all facilities have the autonomy to generate

and use its funds for smooth facility functioning, maintaining the quality of services and enabling

the delivery of patient centred care. RKS at various levels also receive untied funds as budgetary

allocation under NHM.

(v) Under Ayushman Bharat, the SHC level HWCs, are provided Rs. 50,000 as united fund,

enhancing the amount from Rs. 20,000 that is provided to all SHCs. This untied fund is expected

to be used primarily for supporting the essential requirements for HWC.

(vi) Given that the mandate of HWC at SHC level has expanded considerably, the funds have been

augmented. There have been requests from states to form a similar committee at AB-HWC-

SHC level. This
