 Introduction


 Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) are a critical component of India's healthcare system, part of the Ayushman Bharat initiative. The following documentation outlines the key aspects of HWCs, their role in providing Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC), and their contribution to Universal Health Coverage:


In February 2018, the Government of India announced the establishment of 1,50,000 Health and Wellness Cantres (HWCs) as a fundamental pillar of the Ayushman Bharat initiative. These HWCs are intended to transform existing Sub Cantres and Primary Health Cantres, bringing healthcare services closer to the homes of people. They aim to provide Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC), encompassing maternal and child health services and the management of non-communicable diseases. Additionally, these centers offer free essential drugs and diagnostic services.


Objectives:

Health and Wellness Centers are designed to offer a wider range of services, addressing the primary healthcare needs of the entire population in their respective areas. The emphasis is on health promotion and disease prevention, empowering individuals and communities to adopt healthy behaviors and reduce the risk of chronic diseases and morbidities.


Universal Access:

By delivering Universal Comprehensive Primary Health Care, HWCs increase the health system's responsiveness to the people by making services more accessible to communities and addressing the needs of the most marginalized populations through a Primary Health Care team.


Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY):

In conjunction with HWCs, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) seeks to provide financial protection for secondary and tertiary healthcare to approximately 40% of India's households. Together, these two components of Ayushman Bharat aim to achieve the aspiration of Universal Health Coverage.


Defining Health and wellness centre

HWCs are established by converting existing Sub Centers and Primary Health Centers in rural and urban areas. These centers follow the principle of "time to care," ensuring that care is provided within 30 minutes. They may also provide services through outreach programs, Mobile Medical Units, camps, home-based care, and community-based care, all of which should create a seamless continuum of care while upholding principles of equity, universality, and financial accessibility.


Sub health center and Health and Wellness Centre Team:

HWCs at the Sub Health Centre level are staffed by a trained Primary Health Care team, including multi-Purpose Workers (male and female), Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), and led by a Mid-Level Health Provider (MLHP). This team delivers an expanded range of services, and some states have transformed Additional Primary Health Centers (PHCs) into HWCs.


Primary Health Centre/Urban Primary Health Centre-HWC Team:

The Medical Officer at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) ensures that CPHC services are provided not only at the HWCs but also at the PHC itself. The staff qualifications and numbers at the PHC are in accordance with the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS). Strengthening PHCs to HWCs includes training for staff, provision of equipment for wellness rooms, IT infrastructure, and resources for laboratory and diagnostic support.


Key Principles:

The implementation of HWCs is guided by several key principles, including:


  • Transforming existing facilities for universal access to Comprehensive Primary Health Care services.
  • Emphasizing a people-centered, holistic, and equity-sensitive approach.
  • Delivering high-quality care using standard protocols and advanced technologies.
  • Promoting a team-based approach to healthcare.
  • Ensuring continuity of care through a two-way referral system.
  • Focusing on health promotion and public health action.
  • Incorporating flexible financing and performance-based incentives.
  • Integrating Yoga and AYUSH as per people's needs.
  • Utilizing technology for improving access and recording.
  • Involving civil society for social accountability.
  • Collaborating with non-profit organizations and the private sector.
  • Encouraging learning, feedback, and innovation.
  • Establishing robust measurement systems for accountability and performance improvement.


The establishment of Health and Wellness Centers is a significant step towards enhancing primary healthcare services, promoting preventive healthcare, and working towards the goal of Universal Health Coverage in India.
