G.O (Ms) No. 340, Dated: 03.08.2021- National Health Mission - Tamilnadu - Implementation of "Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam" Scheme in Tamilnadu - Orders -மக்களை தேடி மருத்துவம்" எனும் மகத்தான திட்டத்திற்கு அரசாணை வெளியீடு!!
During the Departmental review held on 02.07.2021, the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu had issued directives to tackle the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) burden in the State and to ensure that health care services are delivered directly at the door step of beneficiaries. In order to achieve the directives of the Hon'ble Chief Minister, the Department of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of Tamil Nadu has planned to launch a scheme namely "Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam" which will focus on community based Interventions to improve compliance and disease control in the State.
2. Now, the Mission Director, National Health Mission in his letter read above has stated that, the CoVID-19 pandemic has exposed the frailties of institutional based care delivery as access to drugs, dialysis facilities, palliative care, geriatric. services etc., were compromised during the lockdown resulting in increased morbidity and mortality due to non-CoVID-19 reasons across Tamil Nadu. There is a felt need to strengthen the responsiveness of the State's health system by providing holistic home-based health care services addressing the health needs of all members in a household. Consequently, "Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam" would offer a comprehensive set of health care services to ensure continuum of care, sustainability of services and will take health service delivery to the door steps of the family. An important feature of the scheme is that every line-listed beneficiary under the scheme will be brought under the Population Health Registry (PHR) which will form the common denominator to ensure continuous monitoring and follow up of patients. Further, he has stated that, the need for such a scheme is particularly significant as Tamil Nadu is yet to reach its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of reducing premature mortality from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) through prevention and treatment by one-third by 2030, despite remarkable progress in other areas such as Maternal and Child Health and Trauma.
