A project is envisaged and prepared for a Health System to be developed for a continuous and progressive improvement of the health status of the rural population:

“An Institutionalized approach for total health care for the rural population free of cost at their doorstep”

An Health Science Institution need not necessarily be under one roof and in one campus, but can be programmed to have a cluster of Hospitals.

I. A network of Hospitals:

A) The Institution should be assigned to take up the responsibility to:
        - Improve the health status of the rural population for total health care
        - Create an awareness, prevention, treatment and aftercare.

B) A mandatory requisite of a minimum of 50,000 families in rural areas should be registered with the Institution.

C) Establishment of Nucleus Hospital with the State-of-the-art infrastructure for Diagnosis, surgical, medical and therapeutic facilities (Super-Speciality Hospital).

D) To establish five 100 bedded Hospitals as Satellite Centres around a Nucleus Hospital with all the infrastructure required for emergency care, diagnosis, clinical care or treatment, and aftercare related to all specialties.

The word “Satellite” is used to emphasize that there will be a continuous interaction between the satellite centers as well as the nucleus hospital for the management of patients and clinical teaching of students.

The skilled manpower primarily will include Teachers, assigned in proportion to the students, who will be posted at these Hospitals.

The other required infrastructure with basic amenities and facilities for the people who are working in the Hospital should be established around this Hospital.

There should be a 50 bedded hospital for emergency care around this 100 bedded Hospital with a command area of 50 kilometers.

These networks of Hospitals will provide manpower accessibility and availability for health care for poor & needy rural populations.

E) With the present technology, students can be taught via the E-learning process and get exposed to all faculty members for lectures, clinical discussions and interactions.
