                                              (June 2009)

         Lakshadweep has progressed over the years in implementing the activities of National Rural
Health Mission. The progress is in different stages for activities like decentralization, management
structures, infrastructure development, human resource management and so however the processes
and systems are being strengthened. Brief information on progress is stated as below

Institutional Framework of NRHM

        Progress of institutional setup at state and district level is comparatively slow. Meeting of
State & District Health Mission have not been held regularly. Meeting of State Health Mission held 7
times. No Merger of societies is completed in district. The State needs to constitute VHSCs. Rogi
Kalyan Samities are operational at 2 DH, 3 CHCs & 4 PHCs. The State not yet started developing
IDHAP.

Infrastructure Improvements

         In total 4 PHC have been strengthened with three Staff Nurses each for 24x7 work. 3 CHC are
functioning on 24X7 basis & facility survey completed in 3 (including others health institution also).
1 District Hospitals is functioning as FRUs. No Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) in the UT

Human Resources

        A total of 85 ASHAs have been selected & all of them are trained upto 1st Module. None of
the ASHAs have been provided with drug kits. No appointments of contractual AYUSH Doctors in
the State. 14 Sub-centres are functional with an ANM and need to strengthen the 2nd ANM at sub
centre level. As far as Manpower augmentation is concerned, 7 Doctors, 6 ANM recruited on
contractual basis to improve the health services.

Services

         Institutional deliveries improved from 0.01 lakhs (06-07) to 0.01 lakhs (07-08) and further
there is no reporting of Institutional deliveries in the state for the year 06-07, 07-08 and 2008-09.
Female sterilizations were 22 for the year 07-08 and no reporting for the year 08-09. During year
2008-09, only 2 female & no male sterilization have been reported by the State. The state is not
implementing IMNCI. 156 VHND held since the launch of NRHM.

                                                  8                           Lakshadweep
General

       different level of health facilities.
   •   There are no Specialists. The UT need to augment the process of hiring Specialist on
       contractual basis.

   General Observations:-

   1. Since the launch of RCH-II Programme, during the year 2005-06 to 2008-09 total funds
      released to your state are Rs. 0.77 Crore and out of which Rs. 1.14 Crore has been spent
      on RCH II activities. During the year 2008-09 the total expenditure is Rs.0.73 Crore
      which is much higher than the total expenditure of the previous year i.e. Rs. 0.17 Crore.
   2. Activities like Maternal Health, Training, have picked up very well, where expenditure
      has been approximaletly double of the approved PIP.

   Areas of Concern:-

   1. Expenditure incurred by the State is not as per the approved PIP, either there is NIL
      expenditure against approved PIP or there is huge gap between the PIP and expenditure.
   2. No expenditure has been incurred on Family Planning and Institutional Strengthening
      inspite of provision in the PIP.
   3. Expenditure on BCC/IEC, Infrastructure & Human Resource and Programme
      Management is ranging between 500% to 1100% higher of the approved PIP.
   4. Total expenditure is more than the total releases made during the years 2005 to 2009, the
      same have to be clarified, as from which fund excess expenditure has been incurred.

     General Observation:-

       1. Since the start of the programme Rs.1.37 Crore were released to you and out of which the
          utilization is only Rs.0.45 Crore (33%) and Rs.0.92 Crores (67%) remains unutilized.
          Though there is 3700% increase in the expenditure during the year as compared to the
          year 2007-08 (Rs.0.01 Cr.), still overall utilization is low.

       Areas of Concern:-

       1. Inspite of provision in PIP, no expenditure has been incurred on Hospital Strengthening –
          VHSC, AYUSH, Training, Blood Storage Facility, Strengthening Laboratories and
          NRHM Management Costs/ Contingencies.
       2. Expenditure on ASHA is six times of the approved PIP.
       3. Expenditure on District Action Plan, BCC/IEC, Procurements and New Initiatives have
          been incurred without any budget.

NOTE ON RCH II: LAKSHADWEEP

A.      Background/ current status

1.      RCH II Goals

MMR and TFR data is not available for the UTs. Lakshadweep’s IMR (SRS 2007) at 24 has reduced
from 26 (SRS 2003) and is better than the national target of 30 for 2012 (refer Annex 1).

2.      RCH II Outcomes

Lakshadweep’s progress during the four year period between DLHS 2 (2002-04) to DLHS 3 (2007-
08) is mixed (refer Annex 1):
    • Mothers who had 3 or more ANCs decreased from 96.6% to 90.5%.
    • Institutional deliveries have increased from 79.9% to 90.0%.
    • Full immunisation in children 12-23 months increased from 64.6% to 83.6%.
    • Children with diarrhoea receiving ORS decreased sharply from 72.6% to 55.8%.
    • Unmet need for family planning increased sharply from 9.8% to 29.0%. Further, use of
        modern contraceptives increased from 10.6% to 15.7%.

3.      Expenditure

Audited expenditure has increased from Rs. 0.07 crores in 05-06 to Rs. 0.17 crores in 06-07 and then
remained same at Rs. 0.17 crores in 07-08; reported expenditure in 08-09 has increased to Rs. 0.73
crores i.e. 235% of allocation (Rs. 0.31crores).

B. Key achievements

1. Maternal Health, including JSY
    • Number of JSY beneficiaries in the state decreased from 114 in 05-06 to 42 in 06-07 and
        increased to 200 in 07-08. A total of 200 beneficiaries have availed of the services in 08-09.
    • As reported in state plan, 1 MBBS doctor has been trained in Life saving anaesthesia skills
       (LSAS) against the target of 3.
    • State has operationalised 1 FRU (against the target of 3) and 4 PHCs as 24x7 (against the
        target of 2).

2. Child Health
   • There is a huge increase of 19% points in full immunisation between DLHS 2 & 3 (64.6% to
       83.6%); along with significant increases in antigen-wise coverage.

3. Other initiatives
    • 14 Sub Centres are functioning in different island for providing basic health care facilities at
        the doorstep of the people. These centres are manned by one ANM and a male MPHW.
    • In Lakshadweep helicopter is used as ambulance service for taking patients from island to
        Kavaratti / mainland in the critical/ emergency conditions. Further, several patients are taken
        to Kavaratti or mainland by ships for getting specialized treatment.
    • ISRO has provided telemedicine facility at I.G. hospital Kavaratti, Govt.Hospital, Minicoy
        and Community Health Centre, Androth/Amini/Agathi. This facilitates consultation with
        specialist doctors of Medical College and Super Specialty Hospital of mainland.
    • Due to non-availability of Specialists services in other islands, periodic rural medical camps
        are also organised.
    • Various awareness programmes such as Family health awareness campaign and school health
        programme under RCH programme, Health survey of school children, field visit for assessing

                                                  12                           Lakshadweep
Anaemia, Maternal and Child Health Problems. Under Maternal and Child health regular
        weekly antenatal clinic is conducted in all islands.

C. Key issues

1. Maternal Health, including JSY
    • State is yet to initiate multi skilling of MOs in EmOC and training on SBA has not been
       undertaken.
    • No C-section deliveries are conducted in EmOC centres.
    • Even though there is one referral hospital providing maternal care at Kavaratti, infrastructure
       and manpower are insufficient to provide quality care to the patients.
    • State plan for 2009-10 acknowledge that, specialized medical care is not available in islands.
       The infrastructure and manpower is inadequate in all hospitals.
    • Percentage of 3 or more ANC coverage has come down between DLHS 2 and DLHS 3. State
       needs to identify reasons.
    • Anaemia due to worm infestation is common in the island. A significant number of pregnant
        women in peripheral islands suffer from nutritional anaemia. Adequate steps need to be taken
        to ensure IFA tablets provision during VHNDs and by field level workers.

2. Child Health
    • Children with diarrhoea receiving ORS have decreased from 72.6% in DLHS 2 to 55.8% in
        DLHS 3. IEC/ BCC strategy needs to be developed, along with ensuring supplies.

Progress

      The UT has full immunization coverage of 83.6 % and impressive coverage of BCG at 100%
      while Measles and DPT coverage at 91%.
      The health workers training has been completed.
      The district level AEFI committees have been constituted.

Issues

      The UT should try to reduce the BCG-DPT-3/Measles dropout to further improve the coverage.
      In the year 2008 only no case of Serious AEFI has been reported though the immunization rates
      are increasing. The UT needs to strengthen AEFI reporting further to improve reporting of AEFI
      cases.
      The UT had been allocated funds last year also for training of Health Workers on
      immunization. Further the UT had reportedly completed the Health Workers training; therefore
      details about training progress and future plans need to present for further allocation for this item.

UT is free for indigenous Malaria, only imported cases are being reported by the UT with no Pf and
Death.

Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis (ELF):
    •   Government of India during 2004 initiated massive campaign of Mass Drug Administration
        (MDA) with annual single dose of DEC tablets to all the population living at the risk of
        filariasis excluding pregnant women, children below 2 years of age and seriously ill persons.
        The population coverage of MDA in Lakshadweep was 64.53% in 2004, 84.60% in 2005,
        83.16% in 2006, 86.83% in 2007 and 85.98 in 2008 .The mf rate of 0.02% has been reported
        in 2007. However, the microfilaria survey in the UT is not being done as per guidelines on
        ELF which is a very important parameter.
    •   Line listing of Lymphoedema and Hydrocele cases was also initiated in 2004 for morbidity
        Management and as per updated report (2007), there are 283 Lymphoedema and
        87 Hydrocele cases.

Chikungunya: Total of 35 suspected Chikungunya fever cases and no death was reported during
2006. In the year 2007, 5184 suspected Chikungunya fever cases were reported out of which 10 were
found positive serologically. During 2008 and 2009 no suspected Chikungunya fever case has been
reported till 27th May. To strengthen the diagnostic facility, Indira Gandhi Hospital, Kavaratti has
been identified as Sentinel Surveillance Hospital. NIV Pune has been informed to supply test kits.
The UT should send the chikungunya report on monthly basis.
Dengue, Japanese Encephalitis and Kala-azar are not reported from the UT of Daman & Diu

STATUS OF NATIONAL LEPROSY ERADICATION PROGRAMME IN LAKSHADWEEP

    •      Epidemiological scenario-
           Lakshadweep is low prevalent area for leprosy and has already achieved the goal of
           elimination of leprosy (i.e. prevalence rate of less than 1 case /10000 population). There is no
           leprosy case on record as on March 2009.

    •      New case detection and treatment completion-
           The UT has not reported any new leprosy case for the last 3 years i.e since 2006-07. 1 case
           was discharged during the year as cured after completing treatment.

    •      During 2008-09, NLEP action plan amounting to Rs.4.95 lakh has been approved for the UT.

Issues -

    1. During 2008-09, the action plan was approved for Rs.6.7 lakhs, however no funds were
