5T transformation for hospitals mooted

Some major health facilities of the State have been shortlisted for a first phase of transformation in 2023.

Informing all district Collectors regarding this decision, Health Secretary Shalini Pandit said all District Headquarters Hospitals, Rourkela Govt. Hospital and Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar would be covered under 5T transformation.

Also, each Assembly constituency would have one health facility identified for 5T transformation, she said. In the constituencies where DHHs, Rourkela Govt. Hospital or Capital Hospital are not located, First Referral Units (FRUs) located in the constituency would be given priority for transformation, she informed the Collectors.

However, where the civil structure of the FRU requires major repair and is not in a fit condition to undertake transformation in 2023, an alternate health facility in (SDH or CHC) may be selected for that constituency, she said.

Where no FRU is available in the constituency, preference would be given to the highest caseload health facility in the SDH/ CHC for 5T transformation.

Buildings that require very high expenditure on civil works and health facilities that do not have robust patient footfall should not be undertaken for the 5T transformation in the first phase, she told the Collectors and asked them to submit final lists of selected health facilities (one per constituency) within next five days to the Mission Director, National Health Mission.
