Introduction of MRHRU Schemeएमआरएचआरयू योजना का परिचय
During the 12th plan period (2012-13 to 2016-17), the Government conceptualized and introduced a central sector umbrella scheme for developing infrastructure to promote health research across the country. The MRHRU Scheme of DHR, MoHFW was launched in 2013 with the aim of taking modern healthcare technology to rural people.
12वीं पंचवर्षीय योजना अवधि (2012-13 से 2016-17) के दौरान, सरकार ने देश भर में स्वास्थ्य अनुसंधान को बढ़ावा देने के लिए अवसंरचना विकसित करने हेतु एक केंद्रीय क्षेत्र सर्वव्यापी योजना की संकल्पना की और शुरू की। डीएचआर, एमओएचएफडब्ल्यू की एमआरएचआरयू योजना 2013 में शुरू की गई थी, जिसका उद्देश्य ग्रामीण लोगों तक आधुनिक स्वास्थ्य देखभाल तकनीक पहुंचाना है।
Objectives of the Scheme योजना के उद्देश्य
- Creating infrastructure for transfer of technology to the rural level for improving quality of health services to rural population. ग्रामीण जनसंख्या को स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं की गुणवत्ता में सुधार के लिए ग्रामीण स्तर तक प्रौद्योगिकी हस्तांतरण हेतु अवसंरचना का निर्माण।
- Ensuring an interface between the New Technology Developers (Researchers in Medical institutions; State or Centre), Health System Operators (Centre or State Health Services) and the Beneficiaries (Communities in rural areas). नई प्रौद्योगिकी विकसित करने वालों (चिकित्सा संस्थानों के शोधकर्ता; राज्य या केंद्र), स्वास्थ्य प्रणाली संचालकों (केंद्र या राज्य स्वास्थ्य सेवाएँ) और लाभार्थियों (ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों के समुदायों) के बीच एक अंतरापृष्ठ सुनिश्चित करना।
- Ensuring geographical spread of health research infrastructure in the country. देश में स्वास्थ्य अनुसंधान अवसंरचना के भौगोलिक विस्तार को सुनिश्चित करना।
Establishment & Reach स्थापना एवं पहुँच
So far, 36 MRHRUs have been established in different States and Union Territories. Each MRHRU has been set up in proximity to the state health facility (Community / Primary Health Centre at block level). अब तक विभिन्न राज्यों और केंद्र शासित प्रदेशों में 36 एमआरएचआरयू स्थापित किए गए हैं। प्रत्येक एमआरएचआरयू राज्य स्वास्थ्य सुविधा (खंड स्तर पर सामुदायिक / प्राथमिक स्वास्थ्य केंद्र) के निकट स्थापित किया गया है।
