IIPH funding sources

A Rajya Sabha report gives some idea about the funding for IIPHs. Following is an excerpt from that report.

The Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) is a Public Private Partnership created for capacity building in Public Health Education, training and research. Considering the public health challenges that India faces, the demand for Public Health Professionals far exceeds the availability of adequately trained Public Health manpower. PHFI seeks to address this concern. Therefore, in the next 5-10 years, the PHFI would over the next 5-10 years help in creating around 2000 plus Public Health Professionals annually. This would be through establishment of world class Schools of Public Health  (IIPH); strengthening of existing Schools of Public Health in the country. PHFI would also help establish standards in Public Health Education by enabling the formation of independent accreditation system. 

The Government of India is contributing Rs. 65 Crore approximately one-third of the initial seed capital required for kick-starting the PHFI and for establishment of two Schools of Public Health. The remaining amount (approximately Rs.135 crore) is being raised from outside the Government, namely, Melinda & Bill Gates Foundation (Rs.65 cr.) and from high net-worth individuals. PHFI is managed by an independent Governing Board that includes 3 members from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfares viz. Secretary (H&FW); DG ICMR and DGHS. Shri T.K.A. Nair Principal Secretary to Prime Minister, Dr. M.S. Ahluwalia, Vice Chairman, Planning Commission; Smt. Sujata Rao, AS&PD, NACO, Ministry of Health; Dr. Mashelkar, DG CSIR are also members of the Governing Board. The presence of the officials from Government would ensure that the decisions taken in PHFI are in consonance with the objectives for which PHFI has been supported by Government of India. It is expected that all members of the Governing Board would ensure the functioning of the Foundation as a professional organization and with complete transparency.

In the yahoo article http://in.news.yahoo.com/070628/48/6hhzm.html it is mentioned that the cost of IIPH in Gujarat is 140 crores of which the Gujarat government will contribute 25 crores.

PHFI and the new IIPHs (Indian Institutes of Public Health)

Following are extracts from the web pages of the Public Health Foundation of India (http://www.phfi.org/home.asp).

Background:

What is public health?

Public health has often been defined as a science dealing with the determinants and defense of health at the population level, while clinical medicine deals with multiple maladies and their remedies at the level of the individual patient.

Public health aims to elucidate and influence the social, cultural and economic determinants of health as well as to study and structure health systems as efficient channels for health services delivery. Public health thus is a discipline built on an academic tradition of inquiry involving research, teaching and professional practice to prevent disease and promote health in populations.

Why a foundation for public health?

As India experiences a rapid health transition, it is confronted both by an unfinished agenda of infectious diseases, nutritional deficiencies and unsafe pregnancies as well as the challenge of escalating epidemics of non-communicable diseases. This composite threat to the nation’s health and development needs a concerted public health response that can ensure efficient delivery of cost-effective interventions for health promotion, disease prevention and affordable diagnostic and therapeutic health care.

These health challenges urgently require capacity building for health research, policy development and analysis, programme development and evaluation, health systems organization, models of health care financing and operationalized scientific research.Education and training in public health needs to be inter-disciplinary in content so that the pathways of public health action are multi-sectoral. Public health education must include subject areas like epidemiology, biostatistics, behavioral sciences, health economics, health services management, environmental health, health inequities and human rights, gender and health, health communication, ethics of health care and research. The interventions proposed need to be evidence based, context specific and resource sensitive.

About Us:

The Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) is a response to redress the limited institutional capacity in India for strengthening training, research and policy development in the area of Public Health. It is a public private partnership that was collaboratively evolved through consultations with multiple constituencies including Indian and international academia, state and central governments in India, multi & bi-lateral agencies and civil society groups in India.

The mission of PHFI is to benchmark quality standards for public health education; establish public health institutes of excellence based on these standards; to undertake meaningful public health research; and to advocate for public policy linked to broader public health goals.
…

Charter:

The PHFI is working towards building public health capacity in India by:

* Establishing 5 -7 new institutes of public health over the next 6 years;
* Assisting the growth of existing public health training institutions/departments and facilitating their evolution into major institutes of public health;
 …

Career:

Directors: Indian Institutes of Public Health (Hyderabad, Delhi and Gandhinagar)

The Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) is seeking three dynamic and enterprising public health experts as Directors of its upcoming Indian Institutes of Public Health (IIPH) at Hyderabad, Delhi and Gandhinagar. The first IIPH is to come up by July 2008 and the other two will begin operations in 2009.

Following are excerpts from an yahoo article that gives an idea of the cost involved in making an IIPH.

THE Gujarat government has decided to set up an Indian Institute of Public Health (IIPH) under the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) project, initiated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last year.

This will churn out healthcare professionals and also to establish a strong national research network of public health, assisting in the growth of existing public health training institutions.

The State Cabinet, in its meeting on Wednesday, had cleared a proposal to allot 50 acres of government land for the Rs 140-crore IIPH at Chiloda near Gandhinagar. The institute has proposed a deemed university status.

An abridged version of an memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the PHFI and the state government had been signed during the Vibrant Gujarat Summit in January, 2006, for setting up of the institute.

The work on the institute is expected to begin in a month or so. When ready, the institute will offer degree courses, including a two-year master course in public health, one-year diploma in public health management and a three-year BSc course in public health.

For students from Gujarat, 10 per cent seats will be reserved for the Master Public Health (MPH) courses.

One-year diploma in public health (DPH) and other short-term courses will also be designed specifically for government servants and a subsidised fee structure for such candidates will be worked out.

… The official said the institute will also offer several short-term programmes in regard to in-service training in public health issues.

The setting up of the institute will certainly help the state in getting resource support and further strengthen health services for all sections of the population.

Of the estimated project cost of Rs 140 crore, Rs 80 crore will be used for construction, Rs 10 crore for learning resources and Rs 50 crore to cover operating deficit in the first 3 to 5 years.

Gujarat’s share will be Rs 25 crore, while the Public Health Foundation of India will provide the rest of the funds for the institute, the official added.

A newkerala.com article dated Sept 26th 2007 mentions that the fourth IIPH will be in Shillong, Meghalaya. A PIB release of last year mentions that there will be an IIPH in Mohali, Punjab. Hence, the five announced for IIPH will be in Hyderabad, Delhi and Gandhinagar, Shillong and Mohali.

Health minister promises to start work on AIIMS clone in Bhubaneswar from Jan 2008: Press release of Govt. of Orissa

Following is the press release.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik met the Union Health Minister Shri A. Ramdoss today and impressed upon him to start work on the AIIMS Bhubaneswar campus without further delay. The Government of Orissa has already made available land to Government of India for this purpose. The Union Health Minister assured the CM that work would begin latest by January 2008.

Discussion was also held on wide ranging issues in the Health Sector. The Chief Minister requested the Union Health Minister for opening of a Paediatric Centre at Berhampur for treatment of children affected by HIV/ AIDS. He also pursued the request made by the State Government for installation of CD-4 machines in the 3 Medical Colleges at Cuttack, Berhampur and Sambalpur for detection of HIV/ AIDS. The Chief Minister, Orissa requested the Union Health Minister to sanction state-of-the art machines such as Linear Accelerator for the Cancer Hospital at Cuttack. The Union Health Minister assured the CM that all support will be extended for this purpose.

The CM, Orissa pleaded for increase of intake capacity in Dental Surgery (BDS) from 20 to 50. He further suggested opening of MDS course for which necessary posts of doctors have been sanctioned by Government of Orissa. The Union Health Minister promised to consider the proposal favourably.

Discussions were also held for opening new Nursing Colleges in different parts of Orissa in PPP mode. Government of Orissa will take steps to open such colleges shortly.

In related news a Times of India report outlines the progress with respect to the AIIMS clone in Patna. The time line described in that report will most likely also hold for the one in Bhubaneswar.

The bidding for selection of consultant would be opened on October 3, 2007. "The project management committee had approved the expression of interest (EOI) for selection of project management consultants for construction of six AIIMS-like medical college and hospitals in the country," the affidavit stated.

The project management consultants would be selected by December, 2007, and detailed project report would be submitted by April-May, 2008. Civil construction of the hospital and medical college building may be started by early 2008 and completed by 2010. Simultaneously, the manpower requirement for the AIIMS-like institution is being assessed by a separate committee, the affidavit added.

Updates on the AIIMS-like institutes

Following are excerpts from a report in livemint.com.

Tenders open in Oct for Rs 1,500 cr AIIMS-like hospitals in six cities

C.H. Unnikrishnan

An ambitious Rs 10,000 crore project, led by the Union ministry of health and family welfare, to set up over a dozen multi-speciality hospitals and medical education institutions across the country, under the so-called National Rural Health Mission, will kick off in the first week of October with the opening of architecture and design tenders for six hospital projects.

The six medical institutions —being modelled on New Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Sciences—at Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh costing Rs1,500 crore are expected to be completed in 2009. Other phases of the National Rural Health Mission, including super-speciality hospitals and medical institutions in 11 states, will be finalized soon.

This is the first major government investment for health care infrastructure in the country, even as private players such as Fortis Healthcare Ltd, Max Helathcare Ltd, Hinduja Group, Apollo Hospitals Ltd, and Wockhardt Hospitals Ltd, among others, have earmarked between Rs10,000 crore and Rs15,000 crore for new hospitals and expansion of existing ones.

According to an official at the state-owned Hindustan Latex Ltd’s procurement and consultancy division, which has been appointed a consultant to the first phase of the project, the government has received 14 “expressions of interest for the design and architecture of the six AIIMS-like medical institutions proposed in the project.”

IVRCL Infrastructure & Projects Ltd, RITES Ltd, HSCC India Ltd, Hospitech Management Consultants Pvt. Ltd, Technicalia Consultants Ltd, Kotari Associates Ltd, and Borg Lor Associates Ltd are among those that have bid for architecture contracts.

The proposed institutes will be equipped to handle multiple diseases and disorders with 800 hospital beds along with intensive care units and trauma care centres. They will have medical colleges with annual intake of 100 students and will also offer doctoral courses.

The following phases of the National Rural Health Mission, which include upgradation of seven medical institutions in six other states, and setting up of super-speciality medical institutions and research centres in another five states through the public-private partnership model, are also being finalised. The government is also planning upgradation of about 700 hospitals in rural areas especially in underserved states.

The emphasis on health care infrastructure under the five-year, Rs40,000 crore National Rural Health Mission of the government comes in the wake of strong criticism from non-governmental organizations and national healthcare action groups.

Orissa may have 4 more govt. medical colleges

Following is a news item on this from Sambada.

In this regard we would like to point out to our earlier article where we suggested that the Orissa government should consider converting some of its district hospitals to medical colleges. May be they listened.

In general, the district colleges that have close to 250 beds should all be converted to medical colleges and the government should recover some of the cost by charging the students half or 1/3rd of what private medical colleges charge.

Telegraph reports on the status of an AIIMS clone in Bhubaneswar

Following are some excerpts from that report. (Thanks to Deba Nayak for the pointer.)

The Union government would soon start construction of the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) near Bhubaneswar from December 2007.

The proposed regional centre of the AIIMS has been postponed for the past four years. Last year, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) put the Bhubaneswar-AIIMS on fast track by making budgetary allocations under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY). Official sources said a sum of Rs 330 crore has been so far sanctioned.

Replying to a query put by BJD MP Prasanna Patsani today, the Union health minister, Anbumani Ramadoss, said the construction would begin from December. “He assured me that work on the AIIMS college would begin in April 2008,” Patsani told The Telegraph. …  According to an initial estimate, a sum of Rs 280 crore would be spent on the establishment of the Bhubaneswar AIIMS. In the first phase, three departments — cardiology and cardio-thoracic, nephrology and urology and cancer centre — would be set up at an estimated cost of Rs 133 crore.

A two-storied modular building was proposed on the 100-acre site to house four operation theatres, out patient departments, diagnostic block and in patient wards. The diagnostic unit was to be equipped with sophisticated equipment such as CT scan, MRI, X-ray machines, electro-encephalogram and electro-cardiogram.

September 7th, 2007

AIIMS like institutions facing problem in attracting contractors

Following are excerpts from a Business Standard report. (Thanks to Anand Shah for the pointer.)

Even as engineering and construction firms are actively partnering private players in setting up medi-cities and super-speciality hospitals, a key initiative aimed at setting up six AIIMS-like hospitals and upgrading 13 facilities is finding few takers.

The initiative is part of the prestigious Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), announced in 2005. The projects, with a total outlay of over Rs 3,500 crore, are scheduled to be completed by 2010.

Few developers have responded to the tenders for setting up six hospitals modelled on AIIMS and upgrading 13 medical colleges.

Health ministry officials said the poor response from the private sector for these projects, each worth Rs 50-100 crore, was unfortunate and needed to be seriously analysed.

"The construction boom has thrown open more projects that one can handle. We will have to market our projects well for a good response," said a ministry official.

… The tender inviting private firms to develop housing facilities for the six AIIMS-like institutions has received very few responses, forcing the government to think of floating a second tender. The tender for preparing a detailed project report (DPR), expected to close on September 24, is expected to get a similar response.

Project consultants in the healthcare segment say the government should relax the tender norms. "The archaic norms that keep most well-established players out of the tender process should be kept aside," said a consultant.

…  The apathy of turnkey consultancy and construction firms is known to be a direct result of ?hassle-free? business opportunities in the nationwide real estate boom.

The lack of response has been plaguing the project from the very beginning. It took two tenders and more than a year for the ministry to finalise the consultants for the project. The stringent quality parameters, which kept out most potential bidders, are known to be one of the reasons for the poor response.

The project, which envisages AIIMS-like institutes in Bhopal, Bhubhaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh, received the Planning Commission’s nod in the 10th Plan. The work was to begin in the 10th Plan period itself. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs cleared the project in March 2006.

… Any delay in the execution of the project will raise serious doubts about the government?s capability to add healthcare beds on time.

September 3rd, 2007

Progress on the AIIMS-like institutes, including the one proposed for Bhubaneswar

Following are excerpts from the current content at http://www.mohfw.nic.in/EoI_FOR_PC.htm.

…
Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW),Government of India, intends to set up AIIMS like Apex Healthcare Institutes one each at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh. The institutes are being set up in approximately 100 acre land already made available by State Government.

These apex institutes have been envisaged as Centers of Excellence with 500 bedded hospital, 300 additional Super-specialty and ICU beds, an independent 100 beds for Trauma Care, 30 beds each for PMR and  AYUSH  Facilities. These Institutes will provide undergraduate and post graduate medical education and medical services in 39 specialty /super-specialty disciplines. The activities of the institutes will focus on providing the highest quality of patient care services, medical education and engage in biomedical research.

HLL has been appointed ‘In-house Consultant’ by MoH&FW for implementing the project. The Project is being envisaged as Hospital and College Complex and Hostel and Residential Complex. Land at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur and Rishikesh are contiguous for the entire project while at Patna and Raipur Residential Complex are being located separately. Site Survey, Sub-Soil Investigation and Zoning plan have been completed for all the sites. Area has also been earmarked and boundary wall have been constructed.

Hospital and College Complex. The RFP Document for Design and Detailed Project Report (DDPR) has been issued to short listed firms. The DDPR Consultant is likely to be selected for each site by Nov, 2007.

Residential and Hostel Complex.  The Complex is being developed by EPC Developer on turnkey basis and Contractor for each site is likely to be selected by Sep 2007.

Hospital Furniture and Medical Equipment. The client has already constituted a committee to finalize the requirement of Hospital furniture and medical equipments. The project consultant will be required to be associated in supervision, installation and commissioning of equipment and furniture as per delivery schedule till final handing over to the hospital authorities.

The approximate cost of works per institute  for hospital and college complex is Rs 125.00 Crore.
…

The proposal named PRADHAN MANTRI SWASTHYA SURAKSHA YOJNA (PMSSY) has been launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to offer Speciality and Super-speciality medical care and to improve the quality of medical education by creating six AIIMS like apex healthcare Institutes at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur & Rishikesh in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand respectively.

  • The proposed Institutes shall have state-of-the-art multi-specialty /super-specialty facilities with captive hospital, medical college with annual intake of 100 undergraduates and P.G/Doctoral courses in various Specialty/Super-specialty disciplines based on Medical Council of India (MCI) norms, requisite infrastructures, nursing college, hostels and housing complexes.  The AIIMS like Institutes would be centre of excellence and completely autonomous on the line of IITs/IIMs. These Institutes would be run and managed by Government of India.

After completion of both rounds of counselling, no MBBS/BDS seats remained vacant during the previous year.  All the MBBS/BDS seats available have been allotted to the candidates in the 15% All IndiaQuota-2006.  However, as per the information received from various States/Colleges, a total of 66 MBBS and 51 BDS seats of 15% All India Quota-2006 were reverted to State Quota during the previous year.  A list of such reverted seats to State Quota can be seen at Annexure-II.
