Over the years, since the inception of National Health Mission way back in 2005, Nartiang PHC has been taking initiatives and innovations which are locally relevantand beneficial to the PHC

To improve access to Post-natal & New born Care

Availability of support service in the form of a free diet provided to mothers who delivered in the PHC goes a long way in improving access to institutional Post-natal care and new born care, by lengthening the length of post-natal stay. Its one of the initiatives of Rogi Kalyan Samiti of Nartiang PHC for improving institutional delivery and post-natal care. The expenditure for the free diet was approved by the Rogi Kalyan Samity and the free diet was provided effective from July 10 2010 till JSSK diet is available in 2011.

Uploaded document- An Abstract on the impact on free diet

156 mothers, who delivered at Nartiang PHC, from 1st September to 30th April, had benefited from the free diet and the mean duration of postnatal stay is 37 hours against 27 hours mean duration of postnatal stay of mothers who had received no free diet at all prior to the initiative.

In total, as on 30th April 2011, RKS utilized Rs.23,637/- (rupees twentythree thousand six hundred thirty seven) only, for paying the diet of 156 mothers.

To improve access to Youth Friendly Health Services

This short-term project is implemented in the early part of 2011. The mentoring was supported by the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine Lund University Malmo, Sweden, MAMTA New Delhi and National Institute of Health & Family Welfare (NIHFW)Munirka, New Delhi.

The Bio-medical waste Water Treatment (The BIOWAT)

The BIOWAT is a local innovation for the treatment and disposal of liquid waste generated by the PHC. It has been operational since September 2016 and it has been meeting the discharge standards as prescribed by State Pollution Control Board.

Document uploaded here The BIOWAT

Health Care Quality: Prescription Audit

A key approach towards continuous quality improvement is the Prescription audit of physician’s prescriptions in both the outpatients’ and inpatients’ settings, and the objective is to gauge the rationality of prescriptions against the benchmarking of the WHO.

Project Work on Prescription Audit by Dr(Ms) S.S.Surong

Health Care Quality: Patients Satisfaction Survey

The ultimate gauge of quality in the health care facility is the satisfaction of patients. In this regard and binding by the NQAS certification program patients’ satisfaction surveys have been conducted on regular basis by the facility.

Project Work on Improving Quality of Care by Smti.Chelestina Dkhar

Over the years Nartiang PHC has been doing its bit to sustain the environment. Some of the initiatives are being done completely in house. Some require the help of the State Government.

The BIOWAT

The BIOWAT is a local innovation by the PHC for the treatment of liquid waste generated by the hospital. This is to ensure that the effluent meets the discharge standards as prescribed by the Central pollution Control board and to ensure that the water body of the surrounding streams are not affected.

The Bokashi Composting

General Solid Waste Management Rules 2016 requires that the Biodegradable waste are converted into compost. Nartiang PHC under the Kayakalp Program invited experts from Bethany Society,Shillong, for giving the hands-on training on the BoskashiComposting. The training was held on the 2nd October 2019 at Nartiang PHC. At present all the kitchen wastes/ food waste generated by the PHC are first sent into a Bokashi bucket for composting with the addition of Indigenous microorganism(IMO), which is purchased from Bethany Society. After a ripening period of 7 days the compost is laid in a compost pit for the compost to mature. Once the compost is mature its ready for use as organic manure. Over 70 KG of manures have been produced by using the Bokashi Composting.

The Solar Power System

A 50KVA Three phase solar power system was installed by the Meghalaya Non-conventional Rural Energy Development Agency (MNREDA), functioning from May 2018, the technical operation is being outsourced to a Hyderabad based Aditi Power. This initiative by the state government helps in reduction of the carbon footprint by doing away with fossil-fuelled generator for power back up. At present the PHC building draws 100% power from the Solar power system – 24×7.

The Sure Chill Technology

Cold Chain Point is a critical storage space for life saving vaccines. In April 2016 PATH International, a US based philanthropic organization, donated the Sure Chill Fridge, which runs on the Sure Chill Technology, through the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare Govt. of India. The fridge is WHO prequalified with a R600a class refrigerant, which promises Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP). Therefore, the cold chain point at Nartiang PHC, by relying on the Sure Chill Technology ensures that the life-saving vaccines will stay safe in their comfort zone at 40C, even in an extremely rare situation of power outage of more than 10 days, but also, the environment is protected.
