Re: AIIMS Ballabgarh
The Ballabgarh Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) is located in north India and was established in 1961 to develop a model for rural health-care practice in India. In addition to demographic surveillance and community- based research, CRHSP Ballabgarh provides preventive, health-pro- motion, and curative services to its surrounding population. The system collects data for the entire population through fortnightly visits by health workers (HWs). More recently, the project began collecting data on diseases such as tubercu-losis, and because of changes in life style it recently began collecting data about non-communicable diseases (NCD) and risk factors for NCDs. It works as a site for community-based research, and functions as a demographic and health surveillance system. To strengthen its surveillance system, CRHSP Ballabgarh joined the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH) in 2003. A computerized Health Management Information System (HMIS) was begun at CRHSP Ballabgarh in February 1988.2 In addition to this, CRHSP Ballabgarh provides the HDSS population and that of the surrounding areas with health-promotion services in the form of health education, preventive services such as immunization and disease screening, and curative services for most of the diseases that can be managed at a secondary-care–level hospital. It was established to improve the health statistics of India and to achieve equity in health, it was necessary to focus on the health status of the rural population |
