PUBLIC HEALTH AND PREVENTIVE MEDICINE

?

?The Directorate of Public Health is one of the oldest Departments formed as early as 1923 for the improvement of the general health conditions of the people with special emphasis on providing maternity and child health care to the rural and urban poor and for prevention and control of communicable diseases.

?

In 1966, the Department of Health Services and Family Planning was formed by merging the Directorate of Medical Services (after separating the Medical Education from Medical Services) and the Directorate of Public Health. In 1976, the integrated Department was again bifurcated into the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine and the Department of Medical Services and Family Welfare. The Drugs Control Administration which continued under this Department was separated in November 1981 to form an independent Department. In February, 1980, the functions relating to the static component of Primary Health Centre, the mobile health teams were separated from Public Health Department and a new Department called Directorate of Primary Health Centres was formed. Again the department of Primary Health Centre was brought under the control of Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in March 1996. The State Health Transport Department was formed by separating the same from Public Health and Preventive Medicine Department.

?

During 1988, a separate Directorate of Public Health Training and Continuing Education was formed to oversee pre-service and in-service training programmes for the Multi-purpose Health Workers-male and female and short term in-service training programme for Medical Officers, Health Professionals and Para Medical Professionals. This Directorate was again merged with the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive medicine in March, 1991.

?

As per the re-organisation of the Department during 1980-81, there were seven regions, each headed by a Regional Deputy Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine with jurisdiction over two or three Revenue Districts. There were 29 Health Unit Districts. Each Health Unit District was headed by a District Health Officer with jurisdiction over 30 to 40 Primary Health Centres on an average. Now there are 42 HUDs for the 29 revenue districts.

?

Government have re-organised the Department during January, 1991.? A Joint Director of Health Services from the medical service cadre has been posted to each Revenue District to be incharge of all Medical, Public Health and Family Welfare Programmes at the District Level and supervise the Deputy Directors of Health Services.
