Bhore Committee (1946)
• “No permanent improvement of public health can be achieved without the active participation of the people in the local health program….• We consider that the development of local effort and the promotion of a spirit of self help in the community are as important to the success of the health programme as the specific services, which the health officials will be able to place at the disposal of the people • Formation of village health committees and Voluntary health workers are needed who will need suitable training..”

•“Unless the conscience of the citizens has a whole is stimulated to demand and accept better standards of health…..
•Unless the principles of sound hygiene are inculcated into the masses through health education and other efforts, and ….
• Unless government feels strengthened in taking positive measures to promote health, it will be difficult for health authorities alone to ensure that the measures contemplated are actually implemented….”

Doctors are like chandeliers, beautiful and exquisite, but expensive and inaccessible…”
“ I am like a little lamp inexpensive and simple and I can transfer light from one lamp to another, lighting the lamp of better health……, easily unlike the chandeliers
Workers like me can light another and another and thus encircle the whole earth. This is Health for All.

Shrivastava Report (1974)
“ What we need therefore, is the creation of large bands of part-time, semi-professional workers from the community
itself who would be close to the people, live with them and in addition to promotive and preventive services (including those related to family planning) will also provide basic
medical services needed in day to day common illnesses (which account for about eighty percent of all illnesses)”.
“ These are essentially self employed people and therefore do not form part of the Government bureaucracy. They could be
primary school teachers, housewives, practitioners of different systems of medicine and dais…”

The Janata Rural Health Scheme (1977)
Philosophy
“The aim is to provide simple medical aid within the reach of every citizen by organising a cadre of medical and paramedical community health workers, of whom the trained practitioners of the indigenous systems of medicine will be a part”•The CHW will be ‘of the community’, ‘accountable to the community’ and the community in turn will supervise his work• As expression of community involvement and participation, the community should supplement the resources required for the continuation of this work and takeover the programme at a subsequent time”.

WHO and UNICEF Study, 1977 - IIPrinciples to achieve primary health care:
Communities should be involved in the designing, staffing, and functioning of their local primary health care centres and in other forms of support.
The primary health care workers should be selected when possible by the community itself or at least in consultation with the community
Respect for the cultural patterns and felt needs in health and community development of the consumers…..

• “The People have the right and duty to participate individually and collectively in the planning and implementation of their health care…..
•Primary health care requires and promotes maximum community and individual self reliance and participation in the planning, organization, operation and control of primary health care, making fullest use of local, national and other available resources: and to this end develops through appropriate education the abilities of communities to participate”

•Reduce Poverty inequality and spread education.
•Organise poor and underprivileged to fight for their basic rights
•Move away from the counter productive Western model of health care and replace it by an alternative based in the community …..”
• Provide community Health volunteers with special skills, readily available, who see health as …… a social function”

National Health Policy (1983)
•…..Largescale transfer of knowledge, simple skills and technologies to health volunteers, selected by the communities and enjoying their confidence.
• The Functioning of the front line of workers, selected by the community would require to be related to definitive action plans for the translation of medical and health knowledge into practical action,
•The quality of training of these health guides/workers …… crucial to the success of this approach.
• The success of the decentralized primary health care system would depend vitally on the organized building up of individual self reliance and effective community participation.

People’s Health in Peoples HandsA Tribute
Health cannot be ‘delivered’ to the people…. Decentralized people’s based health care is desirable as
well as feasible under the prevailing social and economic
conditions and in a democratic set up..….
…..the People’s sector can achieve both outreach and accountability, far more effectively and at much lower cost….. because health like education, lends itself best to people’s small scale action, which is in their own interest….

•“ A retreat from the goal of national health and drug policies as a part of an overall social policy;
•A lack of insight into the inter-sectoral nature of health problems and the failure to make health a priority in all sectors of society;
•The failure to promote participation and genuine involvement of communities in their own health development;
•Reduced state responsibilities at all levels as a consequence of wide spread - and usually inequitable - privatization of health policies;
•A narrow, top-down, technology - oriented view of health”

Immediate cause Under nutrition/ low resistance, poor housing, low income / poor purchasing capacity
Development and welfare – income generation / housing
Underlying cause (symptom of inequitable relations)
Poverty / deprivation, unequal access to resources
Land reforms, social movements towards a more egalitarian society
Basic cause (international problem)
Contraindications and inequalities in socio-economic and political systems at international, national and local levels
More just international relations, trade relations etc.

A WHO - SEARO Exhortation for mainstream Public Health to engage with Alternative Sector.
“A wave of community health NGO movements has taken place to try
alternative experiments and actions, and to build capacity from communities and grass
root workers….. These include PHM, SOCHARA, CEHAT and others….. Unless
the national apex institutions or schools of public health recognize these alternative sectors as strong resources and involve
them in training and research , a large portion of creative energy in public health
will remain untapped".

• “The spectrum of appropriate community involvement includes community mobilisation to assert rights, challenge policy and present alternatives; monitoring of services of communities; involvement of in planning and decision making; an involvement in the implementation of PHC programmes and services
• Appropriate community involvement should also be enhanced by health care systems through effectively empowered community structures and forms, as well as by inculcating a culture of consultation and respect for lay people……”

Globalization Of Health From Below System Engagement-6
Public Health Text Book - Sweden
“A strong voice in the global health debate for free primary health care is the people’s health movement which in 2000, presented the Peoples Health Charter. The charter argues strongly for a publicly financed health services and for development policies that favours health…. This network presently led from Bangalore in India is a leading representative for NGO’s in the Global health debate. This global network is itself a new aspect of globalisation”

System Engagement
“ History suggests that such changes often demand radical forms of political mobilization and action, although history has not yet encountered such a demand on a global scale. No simple precedents exists but several forms of mobilization are already been pursued……….
The simultaneous rise of a global civil society movement pressing for political actions to shift the rules of contemporary globalization (People’s health movement et al 2005 )

Conclusions CHW programmes are vulnerable unless driven,
owned and embedded in communities CHW programmes are successful if they are part of
community mobilization efforts CHW programmes are good investment but not cheap
are easy CHW programmes work with political will when
integrated in the context of overall health sector and not separately
CHW programmes will work when the system efforts are supported by health movement from below.

“This is a beautiful hall and the shining chandeliers, are a treat to watch. One has to travel thousands of miles to come to see their beauty. The doctors are like these
chandeliers, beautiful and exquisite, but expensive and inaccessible…”
“This lamp is inexpensive and simple but unlike the chandeliers it can transfer its light to another lamp. I am like this lamp lighting the lamp of better health. Workers
like me can light another and another and thus encircle the whole earth. This is Health for All.”
Muktabai Pol, a Village Health Worker From JAMKHED India,
in Washington, DC, May 1988
