PMC Pune Health Schemes | Central and State governments health schemes are implemented on behalf of the Pune Municipal Corporation to provide benefits to the people of Pune. The implementation of this scheme has been started from the year 2006-2007. Since then till now, the ranking of Pune Municipal Corporation was always below (Low Ranking) in the state. This ranking used to be in the last 5. However, in the year 2022-23, due to the initiative taken by the Pune Municipal Corporation health department (PMC health department), this ranking has improved to the 4th position. The state government has also appreciated the Pune Municipal Corporation in this regard. This information was given by Assistant Health Officer Dr Vaishali Jadhav of the Health Department.

On behalf of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), central and state government health schemes are implemented. It includes various health related programs. These include RCH (Reproductive And Child Health) and NUHM (National Urban Health Mission) schemes in particular. In this RCH was started from 2006-07 and NUHM from 2016. However, the Municipal Health Department (PMC Pune Health Department) appeared apathetic about the implementation of this scheme. Therefore, the ranking of the municipal corporation in the state always remained in the last five ranks. But when the responsibility of implementing this program came to the Assistant Health Officer Dr. Vaishali Jadhav, the implementation of the plan gained momentum. Moreover, the ranking of the municipal corporation also increased. (PMC Pune Health Department)

Patient preference for Pune Municipal Hospital
Dr Jadhav said that patients were not coming to the municipal hospital due to inadequate facilities. Those who come leave in the hospital like Sassoon. In this, the proportion of pregnant women is high. Then we found the reasons for this. Such facilities were started in municipal hospitals. Recently we have started giving sattvic diet to pregnant women. Due to this, patients’ preference for Pune Municipal Corporation’s hospitals has increased. Also, pregnant mothers are examined by specialist doctors. Dr. Jadhav further said, emphasis has been placed on vaccination of children. Vaccination is done daily in the hospital. While in big clinics, vaccination is done two days a week. This has reduced the congestion and also reduced the anguish of the citizens. Also quality health programs are also implemented well. All this has been taken note of by the government. Therefore, the ranking of the municipality has improved.
