Overview

Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging, and promoting life through organised efforts of the Government and society. Public health infrastructure provides communities, States, and Nation the capacity to prevent disease, promote health, and prepare for and respond to both acute threats and chronic challenges to health. The framework for strengthening health infrastructure in India is guided by the National Health Policy (NHP), 2017, which aims to strengthen and prioritise the role of the Government, in shaping health systems in all its dimensions.

The policy also recognises the pivotal importance of Sustainable Development Goal-3 in ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing for all. The Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) is a set of uniform standards, envisaged to improve the quality of healthcare delivery in the country and serve as a benchmark for assessing the functional status of healthcare facilities.

The Performance Audit on ‘Public Health Infrastructure and Management of Health services in Andhra Pradesh’ was taken up to assess adequacy of funding, health infrastructure, human resources, availability of drugs and equipment, and management of healthcare and emergency services. This Report aims to identify the areas that require systemic corrections and improvement.
