ABSTRACT

Over the past decade, the world has invested enormous resources and energy into the development of new and lifesaving vaccines. Current vaccination programmes save more than three million lives per year, and new vaccines that focus on diseases affecting people in the world’s poorest countries can protect millions more. But it’s not just about developing safe and effective vaccines. It’s about getting vaccines to the right place, at the right time, in the right condition. And that means delivery systems that are as advanced and innovative as the vaccines they support. The Health Care Services Organization in the country extends from the national level to village level. Health care in India is delivered through a three tier structure comprising the primary, secondary and tertiary health care facilities to bring health care services within the reach of the people. The primary tier is designed to have three types of health care institutions, namely, a Sub-Centre (SC) for a population of 3000-5000, a Primary Health Centre (PHC) for 20000 to 30000 people and a Community Health Centre (CHC) as referral centre for every four PHCs covering a population of 80,000 to 1.2 lakh. The district hospitals were to function as the secondary tier for the rural health care, and as the primary tier for the urban population. The tertiary health care was to be provided by health care institutions in urban areas which are well equipped with sophisticated diagnostic and investigative facilities.
