Healthcare Infrastructure

Government Health System

The public-health care system in India is based on a three-tiered health-care system to provide preventive and curative health care in rural and urban areas. It consists of sub-centers, primary health centers and community health centers.

The Department of Health is divided into two main branches.

The Director of Medical Education is the first branch responsible for the functioning of various medical colleges in the state.

Similarly an equally efficient branch is Director of Health Services which has multiple levels of hospitals to cater to various levels of population.

The Director of Health Services has a District Medical Office (DMO) in every district.

All the various branches of health services at multiple levels work with the Local Self Government Departments(LSGD).The LSGD system also has a detailed structure to ensure smooth functioning. It is important for every individual in the community to understand their respective Local Self Governments.

Revenue System

Revenue System

In pre-independent India, there was one person who was in charge of collecting tax revenues from the public. This person was the “Collector” in the “Revenue” Department.

At Panchayat Level, there is the village officer who has authority to collect various taxes within the panchayat and is also the custodian of all land-title records within the panchayat.

At Taluk Level there is a Tahsildar and higher still in the line of hierarchy is the Revenue divisional officer.

The District Collector heads the revenue system within a district in addition to many other administrative responsibilities including that of the District Magistrate.

Law Enforcement

The constitution of India delegates the maintenance of law and order primarily to the states and territories. All senior officers in the state police forces and federal agencies are members of the Indian Police Service (IPS)

Consider the example of Kerala to understand the law enforcement system within a state. Kerala State Police is the law enforcement agency for the state of Kerala with its headquarters at Thiruvananthapuram (capital city of Kerala).

Coordination of these systems at different levels in Kerala

Panchayat Level:

Each ward has a ward level team. At Panchayat level, this body is supervised by the Panchayat Monitoring Committee (LSG level monitoring committee), comprising of:-
1) Panchayat President
2) Medical Officer
3) ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) Supervisor
4) CDS Chairperson
Each of these individuals are the direct supervisors of the 4 official members ward level team. Therefore, they do not sit in the Committee in their individual capacity but they sit as representatives of the system following the hierarchy.
To support them, there is the
- Village officer. The village officer has no hierarchical subordinate at a lower level than the panchayat. Village officer is part of the Revenue System. Therefore they have control over all the land, to collect taxes and enable transactions relating to land.
-Police
-KSEB Office
-Water Authority
-Education Department (Nodal officers of government schools)
-Agriculture Officer.
These are all independent bodies working alongside the Panchayat.

Block Level:

At the block level, we have:-
1) The Block President
2) Block Medical Officer
3) CDPO (Child Development Program Officer)
[Kudumbashree system does not exist at this level.]
-Tahsildar
-Police
-Assistant. Engineer - KSEB
-Assistant. Engineer - Water authority etc.

District Level:

Similarly, all corresponding officers at a district level form a committee here. There is the Zillah Panchayat President, ICDS district officer, District Medical Officer, Collector, RTO, Water Authority representative, Police etc.

Municipality and corporation:

The municipalities and corporations are also divided into Divisions. A division is bigger than a ward with almost 10 times the population. Each division again has a Rapid Response Team (RRT) with a Counsellor (instead of a ward member), ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) worker (usually more than 1, depending on the population), Anganwadi Worker and Area Development Society (ADS) by Kudumbashree.
Thus, the various departments of state government are intertwined along with Local Self Governments to create a strong decentralized system of working in Kerala. This decentralized system is what is working at the grassroots level to stop the pandemic from spreading beyond what we can control.
