When we started working on the concept of a Rural Health Clinic, we virtually thought why would people all over the world need this, when there are so many mobile vans going to rural places and villages and so many international charitable organizations and endowment funds putting money on these.... But as we went ahead and discussed with more and more people across the world on the net, via-phone and e mail, we found that nearly 60% of them really are not working or just a reason to spend money because it has been allocated and sometimes they go to a village, sometimes, they don't.... pretty sad... to hear that but then we did not have any parameter to judge these words.
Pondering on that and also the fact that each village should have something of their own and also should be linked to either a district level hospital or a state level hospital, we under more deeper into that and nearly for 3 months kept on taking peoples opinion, when the first glaring thing that came to our view was :
a) It takes hell lot of a time for any Government to get some budget allocated for such works, because once they decide, it involves so much of paper work and documents, apart from the fact that legislative members of assembly of the same state at time do not encourage things, if their constituency is not getting a good pie of it
b) Then again it enters the zone of planning, which again goes to Public Works Department to work on that, in some cases some of the simplest of planning and approvals have taken more than 3 to 4 months or 6 months even,
c) Then enters the zone of tendering and granting the contracts, that itself, as everyone know in developing and under-developed countries, is a process of corruption and under-delivery of quality
d) Further, thereafter recruitment and over-recruitments, just to please some higher ups in the district level or state-level Health Commissioners or Ministers office and actually we heard a complain that Doctors indeed do not want to be at village hospitals these days, and if by force they agree to be there, they are hardly 50-60% of the time present only, thereby not having someone really responsible on the site, while the functional authority to the nurses is so limited, they can hardly do something effective and patients and emergency calls suffer badly.
All these lead us to develop our idea of providing something that can really work in rural areas and be a combination of responsibility, quick-availability, communication-wise well linked, and giving the Nurse or the social group of people a dream to serve and ultimately own the unit thereby ensuring the funds that the Government or any funding organization places to work in reality for a long long time as they would do it, if they had taken care of their family .
Through this blog we wish to cover your opinion from different parts of the world, which remains unheard and when heard can open eyes of lot of people, especially who are in deciding-chairs and / or people who donate money and would like to see that their spent money remains in effect for more than a year or decade or generation .
