Project Brief:
The project would attempt to design and facilitate the adoption of alternate model(s) for responding to the critical shortage of medical specialists in select states. Medical specialists are scarce in India, and the numbers are disproportionately lower in the public sector, at the Community Health Centre (CHC) level and above. Even district hospitals in several states have an acute shortage of medical specialists. Increasing the conventional supply side of medical specialists is expensive and slow in demonstrating results. It is acknowledged that here is an immense latent potential in utilizing District Hospitals (DHs) as a site for training medical specialists, which can lead to acquisition of a formal higher education qualification as a specialist. The District Health Model of the National Board of Examinations (NBE) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) model are two alternative models that can be adopted in select states. This project requires working closely with the Government of India State Governments, the NBE and the CPS, and other stakeholders to: accelerate policy decisions to support specialist strengthening in the public sector; leverage DHs for specialist training; and with states with traditionally poor health indicators especially in vulnerable groups and geographies. Project is based at Chandigarh, Punjab.
