National Free Diagnostics Initiative
 
The free diagnostics service initiative has been rolled out under
NHM, in order to leverage existing institutional structures that are
already in place
The key objectives of this scheme are to:
Ensure the availability of minimum set of diagnostics free cost
appropriate to level of care
Reduce high OOPE incurred for diagnostics
Improve over all quality of healthcare & availability of
comprehensive healthcare in Public health facilities
A set of free essential diagnostics service at each level has been
identified which are being provided free of cost in an assured mode
 
Diagnostic services includes free pathology & radiological services
& it ensures all high volume and low cost tests not requiring
highly skilled expertise preferably be undertaken within public
health facilities. However high cost, technologically demanding
and low frequency diagnostic tests to be outsourced as a way of
gap filling, with adequate check and balances
Under this initiative, 7 pathological tests are made available at SCs,
19 tests at PHCs, 39 tests at CHC including(radiological tests-Xray
& USG) & 56 tests (includingX-ray, USG & CT)  at DH level and
equivalent
Under free pathological services, there is a provision of
outsourcing of testing of samples which are high cost low volume
tests
For radiological investigations, identifications of technological
pathways & setting for capturing, transmission and reporting of
tests that could be digitised, are attempted where in-house
expertise is  not available
 
Financial support is provided to all States/UTs under
National Health Mission for:
 Setting up required infrastructures, institutional
mechanisms, HR & equipments
Supply of reagents, consumables and establishing
procedures for outsourcing of services in PPP-
mode
Quality assurance for all diagnostic services
including calibration
 
Free Pathology services
Free Pathology services
 
-
Free Diagnostic Initiative is intended to provide a set of
essential diagnostics at various levels of care so that
providers are able to make rational decisions regarding
treatment and patients benefit by getting their tests
conducted within the facility free of cost
-
 FDI guidelines are intended as a roadmap to assist
states to roll out this initiative. However, the
fundamental objective is to reduce financial stress,
particularly on the poor, and those who use the public
health system

For radiology investigations, guidelines support
identification of technological pathways and
setting up of systems for capturing, transmission
and reporting of tests that could be digitized.
This is attempted where in house expertise is not
available. This facilitates capturing of images at
public facilities and transfer images to specialists
in public or private sector for diagnosis through IT
based solutions and electronic reporting.

to support Procurement at state
 
In states there is a significant need for counselling
regarding minimum specifications and
requirements that should be considered before
starting a process of purchase of medical devices.
In this regard the division has formulated
technical specifications of 168 medical devices as
per IPHS guidelines.
Technical Specification of another 301 equipment
are under draft stage and review by MoHFW

Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Program
Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Program
 
For technology intensive programs like Laboratory, Radiology, SNCU, ICUs
and Operation Theaters, it is necessary to have fully functional
equipment
Earlier dysfunctional rate was 30% to 63% for equipment inventory
across various states and was a concern
Under NHM, Comprehensive  maintenance of all equipment across DHs,
CHCs, and PHCs was proposed and an exclusive program was launched
under PPP given that equipment maintenance is a specialized skill
requiring immediate availability of biomedical engineers and spare parts
Under the program design, Service Provider is to provide toll free
number for equipment fault registration, spare parts, engineering HR
and provide an upkeep time of 95% for DHs, 90% for CHCs and 80% for
PHCs
Service provider to be selected after due tendering process
Within four months of the start of the program, the service provider
would be responsible for repairing all currently dysfunctional equipment

(20 States in PPP mode in the state of Andhra
Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh,
Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh,  Maharashtra,
Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, Punjab,
Sikkim, Telangana, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal )

Radiation Safety
Radiation Safety
 
Medical use of x-rays for diagnosis and treatment has proven to be
beneficial to society at large. Diagnostic Radiology includes various
modalities of medical imaging by using X-rays. However, unsafe use
of x-ray radiation has health risks associated with it and hence it is
required that proper care is exercised throughout the life cycle of
the equipment
In order to reinforce and support states in complying with AERB
safety model Request For Proposal (RFP) has been developed. It’s
estimated that to meet all the safety regulations within AERB
framework, an average Rs. 2.00 to 3.00 lakhs is required per facility
NHM guidelines was relased in February 2018 and so far states of
Tripura and Uttar Pradesh have rolled out the program

The National Free Diagnostics Initiative aims to provide essential diagnostic services free of cost in public health facilities, leveraging existing institutional structures. The initiative covers a range of pathological and radiological tests at different levels of care, with outsourcing for high-cost and low-frequency tests. The key objectives include reducing out-of-pocket expenses for diagnostics and improving the overall quality and availability of healthcare. Digitalization and capacity building efforts are made to strengthen diagnostic services where specialized skills and infrastructure are lacking.
