II. A holistic concept for Health Care and Planning:

a) House to house visits:

The students along with the teachers have to be programmed as part of their curriculum with proper training and knowledge for house to house visits at the rural areas to create an awareness of health as part of the holistic approach.

With these house visits, the health care professionals (Faculty, Students, and Interns etc.,) would try to identify, educate and report health risk factors associated with:

- Habits , culture & Education
- Personal hygiene,
- Sanitation
- Impact of human & plant life on the environment
- Water, salt, food
- Occupation & economy

An Expert Committee should prepare Questionnaires for exercising prevention of diseases as well as improving the Health status related to the above areas including pre-identified diseases. This participative process (one to one basis) will not only facilitate clear understanding of need for prevention of diseases but also will create health awareness, ultimately for leading quality life. These one to one discussions during house visits creates an interesting topics of discussion for Health awareness among the population instead of teaching and professing.

b) Epidemiological studies and demographic distributions:

These visits (house to house) should be utilized for recording demographic distribution of target diseases, health status and identification of hospital care need of each family.

c) Hospital care:


Each group will separately identify people who require hospitalization or home care. Those people who require hospital care should be transported, free of cost, to these satellite hospitals for treatment. All treatment rendered should be free of cost, as they cannot afford the cost of treatment. Such of those patients who require facilities at Super specialty Hospitals (Nucleus Hospital) are also to be transported free of cost and given the necessary medical and surgical care at free of cost. Prevention, diagnosis, treatment and aftercare is to be provided free of cost to the identified 50,000 rural families to extend best health care & thus improve their quality of life.
