CHAPTER 26
INTRODUCTION
In the public sector, a Health Sub-centre is the most peripheral and first point of contact
between the primary health care system and the community.
A Sub-centre provides interface with the community at the grass-root level, providing all the
Primary Healthcare services. It is the lowest rung of a referral pyramid of health facilities
consisting of the Sub-centers, Primary Health Centers, Community Health Centers, Sub-
Divisional/Sub-District Hospitals and District Hospitals.
The purpose of the Health Sub-centre is largely Preventive, Promotive, Rehabilitative and
Curative care.
As per population norms, there shall be one Sub-centre established for every 5000
population in plain areas and for every 3000 population in hilly/tribal/desert areas.
As the population density in the country is not uniform, application of same norm all over
the country is not advisable.
The number of Sub-centers and number of ANMs shall also depend upon the case load of
the facility and distance of the village/habitations which comprise the Sub-centers.
There are 147069 Sub-centers functioning in the country as on March 2010 as per Rural
Health Statistics Bulletin, 2010.
i. To specify the minimum assured (essential) services that Sub-centre is expected to provide
and the desirable services which the states/UT s should aspire to provide through this
facility.
ii. To maintain an acceptable quality of care for these services.
iii. To facilitate monitoring and supervision of these facilities.
iv. To make the services provided more accountable and responsive to people’s needs
CATEGORIZATION OF SUB-CENTERS
In view of the current highly variable situation of Sub-centers in different parts of the
country and even within the same State, they have been categorized into two types –
Type A and
Type B.
Categorization has taken into consideration various factors namely catchment area, health
seeking behavior, case load, location of other facilities like PHC/CHC/FRU/Hospitals in
the vicinity of the Sub-centre.
Categorization of Sub-centres should be as per the guidelines and provision of services and
Infrastructure is made utilizing Optimum usage of available resources.
1. Type A
TYPE A SUB CENTRE will provide all recommended services except that the facilities for
conducting delivery are not available. However, the ANMs have been trained in
midwifery, to conduct normal delivery in case of need and emergencies.
If the requirement for this goes up , the sub centre may be considered for Up gradation to
Type B.
The Sub-centres in the following situations may be included in this category.
i. Sub-centres not having adequate space and physical infrastructure for conducting
deliveries, due to which providing labour room facilities and equipment at these Sub-
centres is not possible.
However there may still be demand for delivery services from the community in these
areas e,g, Sub-centres located in remote, difficult, hilly, desert or tribal area.
In such areas, the transport facility is likely to be poor and the population is still
dependent on these Sub-centres for availing delivery facilities.
In such situations, ANMs would be required to conduct deliveries at homes and ANMs of
these Sub-centres should mandatorily be Skilled Birth Attendance (SBA) trained.
Such Sub-centres should be identified for infrastructure up gradation for conversion to
Type B Sub-centres on priority.
