Discussion: Previously, people were

largely dependent on the private practitioners for their health needs, particularly during evening and night hours.

But, after the improvement of the PHC, all their health needs were met without any cost.

All people around Morappur both rich and poor, are coming to the PHC for their health demands.

People go out only when referred by the PHC for tertiary care and major surgeries (like Kalaingar Insurance scheme).

Being 24x7 PHC, daily 70-100

people were treated in the evening OP and 10-15 people were treated during night hours for emergencies

œ Since, People are totally satisfied by the services of the PHC, the demand for private players have decreased.

œ During the last five years, two full

fledged nursing homes with OTs , two private labs, one X ray unit have closed their shutters. Many Quacks who were flourishing in near by villages took alternate jobs for their survival.

• Hence, Up gradation of Morappur PHC has greatly increased the availability of quality health care services .Also, Direct & Indirect costs towards medical and health care have been brought down to zero for the people of Morappur.
