Executive Summary

The HelpAge India-SJVN collaborative Mobile Medicare Unit (MMU) project has been designed to

provide health care services to the elderly at their doorsteps in selected villages of Khirweri. For

initiating this project the following Panchayats to be mapped as per the information provided by

HelpAge India (HI) and SJVN.

Budhvihar

Thirthaciwadi

Ambyviher

Karwadi

Maanmodi

Chemdevwadi

Wadachiwadi

Ward Number 1

Ward Number 2

Thakurwadi

Upper lane Kombhalne

Together with the sample village visit, the focus was also to establish initial contacts with key

stakeholders of the MMU project, collect basic demographic information and initiate survey process for

establishment of baseline of elderly persons in each GP. The key stakeholders with whom

communications were established were:

• SJVN’s Corporate Social Responsibility Lead Officials

• Helpage India representative

• Elected Gram Panchayat Leaders, functionaries and elderly persons

• Government Health Centres – Primarily NRHM facilitated health bodies like PHCs & CHCs

• Local Government Administration (Block/Taluka/Mandal/District)

• Non-government Organisations are working in this area

Therefore, on the basis of the list of the villages provided by the concerned HR/CSRdepartment of SJVN

and HelpAge India, a mapping of the villages and sites was done. The mappingwas important because of

four reasons, which were:

The MMU operation needs to align itself with the local governance bodies, especially Gram

Panchayats as it would require the sustained availability its resources for successful operation.

The basic information that will feed into the operation of MMU will come from Gram

Panchayats. The locations for parking of the MMU vehicle can be best identified in consultation

with GP functionaries. As per the mandate of the MMU project, the parking locations need to be

public places (Schools, Community Halls, Anganwadi Centres, Health Sub-centres, etc.) thereby

guaranteeing uninhibited access by the target group. These locations in a village are essentially

under the jurisdiction of Gram Panchayat and therefore, it becomes important that its consent

and participation are elicited at the beginning itself.

The village mapping helped in assessing the operational feasibility in terms of distance coverage

for the MMU. Here factors like contiguousness of Gram Panchayats, travel distance between the

GPs and location for MMU office were looked upon. The second important factor that was

looked into was population strength of GP and the corresponding potential patient load that it

will be borne by any one MMU. Based on the patient carrying capacity of the MMU and the

suggested operational areas by SJVN, coverage of GPs in the project was assessed.

For determining the exact patient load and generating the corresponding baseline a door-to-

door survey was envisaged from the very beginning. The in-principle support of the Gram

Panchayat leadership was considered crucial to conduct the survey smoothly and gather the

relevant information.

The SJVN team does not make any differentiation between natural villages/habitats and Village

Panchayats or Gram Panchayats (GP). If one or two villages appear on the list of villages given by

SJVN the MMU operation cannot stop at just reaching out to only these one or two stand-alone

villages. The services have to be made available to the whole GP in order to make it relevant and

participatory. Therefore, GP mapping was essential for making the entire process meaningful.

The mapping of the Gram Panchayat was done by locating a field contact, primarily an elected

leader from the Gram Panchayat. Supporting help from the field contact was then taken in

mapping the names of the Gram Panchayats corresponding to the names of the villages

suggested by SJVN. In all cases the information on matching the list of villages with

corresponding GPs and other associated conditions like contiguity, operational feasibility

keeping the distance factor in view, etc. were collected from more than one source in order to

ensure its correctness and reliability. SJVN and HelpAge India personnel helped in locating some

of the field contacts.

After Gram Panchayat meeting our team initiated a door to door survey for listing of elderly population

with the help of pre-designed questionnaire. Two separate questionnaires were also prepared to assess

the need of the mobile medical unit. After identification of elderly population in villages our field team

conducted a baseline survey of 100% elderly households in selected villages. Besides, a good number of

other household where there is no elderly population were interviewed. Data collection, data entry and

data analysis in the Help Age India’s ‘e-Chikitsa’ HMIS software were done. Octavo developed a Coding

Methodology was developed for data entry. Key findings of the end results are given below:

Key Findings

1. HelpAge has started their MMU activities in the Khirweri region and covering 12 villages in 3

Panchayats through the MMUs. The MMU van runs 5 days in a week in two sessions (morning and

afternoon). The unit provides free treatment, free medicines, basic diagnostics, and home visits of

the patients (in case of bed-ridden), counseling facilities and awareness generation.

2. All the sites parking areas located in public places.

3. It was observed that most of the identified sites have basic amenities like - accessibility, parking

facility, drinking water facility, electricity and mobile network. Only 10% of the sites have toilet

facility, 80% have PHC and 40% have doctors in the village.

4. PHC at Khirweri have basic facilities and enough to cater its service to the mass of Khirweri.

5. Interview with the village Pradhan revealed that MMUs in the Khirweri area is the real time window.

6. Out of 841 household’s, 500 household (59% of the total household) have elderly people (more than

54 years of age) in their house. In those 841 households have total 4085 members.

of the female members are engaged in farming.

10. In our sample 59% of households belong to BPL group and rests41% APL.As BPL people are more in

every village and they do not have affordability to access medical facility, MMU could play an

important role to provide medical facility.

11. It is mainly tribal areas. According to the caste wise distribution 43% families who have elder people

belong to the OBC group, 34% and 9% ST and SC respectively.

12. Around 84% avail private clinics and doctors’ for their treatment, 80% get treatment at Sub

and Ulcer. In Asthma and Joint Pain more than 90% people have availed their treatment.

22. 54% have availed treatment at private clinics, 32% have availed treatment at Govt. Hospitals and

13% at Sub Centres/PHCs. It is clearly understood as people are going to Private clinic if MMU can

provide better facility at free of cost people will avail treatment from MMU.

23. Overall 86% (90% of elderly males and 81% of the elderly female) of people are involved in different

activities. Female participation is much lesser than male participation. Elders mostly participate in

social activities (74%) and in religious activities (71%).

24. Overall 32% of elderly people (35% Male and 29% Female) are aware about their rights. It can be

concluded that awareness about their rights in this area is very low. MMU unit can play a positive

role in it.

Economy

The district economy is mainly dependent on co-operative sector. Late Padmashree Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe

Patil started the first co-operative sugar factory in the district at Pravaranagar during the year 1949,

which was the first of its kind in the Asian continent. Ahmednagar is a pioneer district in co-operative

development and in up-scaling of sugarcane cultivators through the sugar factories. Similarly dairy co-

operatives have also developed as a secondary movement for the benefit of the dairy farmers.

Fourteen co-operative sugar factories, 9310 co-operative societies, 1281 co-operatives dairy societies

and 4 fruit and vegetable co-operative societies are the backbone of the district providing impetus to

the rural economy. The irrigation water co-operatives and transports co-operatives are also playing an

important role in the district. The problem related to credit inputs and marketing has been addressed to

a great extent that has made the farming community free from the clutches of middlemen and private

lenders through the dynamic leadership of the co-operative movement.

Thus, co-operative sector in the district is dealing with all types of needs of the farming community,

village prosperity and all-round socio-economic development of the district.

Approximately 573,982 households are dependent on agricultural activities and among these, nearly

498,355 households are cultivators and the remaining are agricultural laborers. It is one of the twelve

districts in Maharashtra which receiving fund from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme.

Chapter 2: Approach & Methodology

Objective

Health infrastructure of this area is very poor and due to poor economic conditions people could not

afford the available medical facilities.The current study deals with the identification of elderly

population (age more than 54 years).Besides, this study also looks into the available health facility in the

project location and identifies the site for mobile medical unit and finalizing an operational plan for the

same.

Scope of the Work

Identification of villages in the proposed MMU location in consultation with local sponsor officials

and Help Age India team

Visiting MMU location and all identified villages in each location in order to prepare detailed

operational plan

Active consultation with major stakeholders in the identified villages to elicit their opinion regarding

inclusion of their villages in the project and soliciting their active participation during the

implementation period of the project i.e. 3 years

Conducting baseline survey in each location consisting of a number of villages or gram panchayats

by recruiting local investigators/surveyors in order to arrive at the exact numbers of elders in each

village and location

Identifying central locations in consultations with Help Age India and sponsor for establishing the

project office where the MMU staff would gather, stocks would be kept, records would be

maintained and MMU would be parked during non-functioning days and hours

Methodology

The methodology for the study includes the field survey and secondary research.

Secondary Research Octavo team carried out secondary research in which documents relating to the current project were

collected from the varied sources (who were in the public domain). In the secondary study our

researchers saw the following parameters:

District demographics including health indicators

Social and financial scenario of the project location

Establishing contacts with the Panchayats was the second most crucial step in the project initiation

process. There were many objectives for establishing this contact. They are as follows:

Appraising the Panchayat leadership on the MMU project and develop a consensual understanding

among the local leadership and general population on the need of the project and the health as well

as psycho-social benefits that it is going to accrue to the elderly population.

Mapping of basic infrastructure was another requirement which would help the project run from

those points. Resources like government schools, Anganwadi Centres, Health Sub-centre, Village

Community Halls, Temples, etc. are counted as basic infrastructure available in the villages or

habitats. Usually all people in the village have access to these resources and these would serve as

the parking place for the MMU. The MMU would park at these locations at predetermined time

slots and would offer the health and counseling services to the elderly of the nearby

villages/hamlets within a particular village. Since Gram Panchayats (GP) have many such hamlets the

MMU would need to park at more than one location within the GP.

A basic understanding of the constitution of the Gram Panchayat, its geographical spread, number

of hamlets/natural villages, population with necessary disaggregation (male/female, BPL/APL, no. of

elderly persons, etc.), etc. is required to address the health needs through this programme.

Unless it is known as to how many elderly persons (for this project an elderly person is one who is 55

years old and/or above) live in a village, how many households have elderly people, their habits,

their disease history, etc. it would be imprudent to start the project because the benefits that

accrued to the elderly people because of this intervention cannot be measured or evaluated at a

later point in time. Monitoring would also not be possible without a baseline. Moreover, individual

cards would be issued to each elder for tracking his/her individual health status at the time of

Page 15: Site Selection For MMU and Baseline Survey Reportsjvnmmu.co.in/signin/donor_baseline_reports/Khirweri.pdf · 2018-12-24 · MMU unit can play a positive role in it. 25. Only 1.16%

Page 14 of 43

his/her visit to the MMU. The consent and cooperation of the GP leadership to conduct this baseline

survey is considered essential.

Since the project will run for a period of five years sustained support and assistance would be

required from the GP leadership for its smooth operation and conflict resolution in case of any

eventual need. Therefore, a relationship building exercise is also at the core of establishing contact

with the GP leadership.

The first point of contact was usually the Gram Panchayat offices and a meeting with Panchayat

Pradhan, Secretary and other key people of the village was held. In such meetings the participants

were introduced to HelpAge India’s organizational objectives and operation. Thereafter, they were

appraised in-detail about the objectives and operational aspects of the MMU project. Their views on

the project were also elicited. In all the cases the Panchayat leadership welcomed the initiative

undertaken by HelpAge India and appreciated the working model of project and assured their

continued support for smooth running of the project.

After initial discussion with GP leadership basic information on demography and infrastructural facilities

were collected. The parameters on which information were collected were:

• Population – with necessary disaggregation

• No. of Households (HHs) in the GP

No. of BPL HHs

No of HHs with M-NREGA Job cards – Discussion was held on elderly people’s

participation in M-NREGA work

No. of HHs enrolled under any government Health Insurance scheme

All the above information is being consolidated into a Gram Panchayat information format for future

references. After collection of aforementioned information, discussion was held on identification of

MMU parking locations in the GP. The GP functionaries were advised to select minimum number of

locations that would be required to cover all the constituent hamlets/villages of the GP effectively, i.e.

all the elderly people can access it without many problems.

Primary Research On the basis of secondary research and Gram Panchayat meeting’s findings Octavo researchers designed

the survey questionnaires to tap the perception of local people regarding the health facility and also to

capture their social and financial status. We have collected information from the elderly population as

well as the head of the household.

Approach

Meeting and consultation with key stakeholders i.e. donor representatives, local health clubs, NGOs

to select the villages

Identification of possible MMU office location within the MMU operational area of the nearest

place with sufficient infrastructure i.e. basic amenities such as electricity and water and voice / data

connectivity

Identification of health issues of elderly persons and community as general and available health

infrastructure in the proposed villages

Two separate questionnaires were prepared to assess the need of the mobile medical unit which is

given at Annexure 7 and 8.

Conducting baseline survey of 100% elderly households in selected villages as well a good number of

other household where there is no elderly population.

Data collection, data entry and data analysis in the Help Age India’s ‘e-Chikitsa’ HMIS software

Coding Methodology was developed for data entry.

Chapter 3: Site Selection for Mobile Medical Unit

SJVN decided to give mobile medical unit (MMU) facilities through HelpAge in the affected villages of

Khirweri as a part of their corporate social responsibility. The MMU project aims at reaching out to

provide healthcare to older persons above 55 years of age as well as the communities they live in—in

the operational areas—who have limited or no access to healthcare either due to poor services by the

existing healthcare facilities or because affordability issues due to lack of financial resources or other

physical / mobility reasons.

HelpAge has started their MMU activities in the Khirweri region and covering 3 panchayats (12

locations) through the MMUs. They have already identified certain sites over there for the parking of the

mobile van. The MMU unit runs 5 days in a week in two sessions (morning and afternoon). In every

village they have selected 2-3 places. The unit provides free treatment, free medicines, basic diagnostics,

and home visits of the patients (in case of bed-ridden), counseling facilities and awareness generation.

Availability of facilities

Survey team wanted to gauge the basic facilities in the MMU sites on the basis of few parameters like –

accessibility, parking facility, drinking water facility, electricity, toilet, primary health unit’s availability in

the village, availability of doctors, mobile connectivity and storage facilities of the medicines and other

equipment. During field visit of the survey team it was revealed most of the identified sites have basic

amenities like - accessibility, parking facility, drinking water facility, electricity and mobile network. Only

40% villages have doctors and only 10% villages have toilet facility.

Site wise Availability of Facilities

Therefore it is clear from the above charts that the selected sites in the beneficiary villages are

appropriate and accessible for the patients as well as medical teams. The elderly persons in the project

areas are now facilitate with basic medical support to live with dignity and respect. Interview with the

village Pradhan revealed that MMUs in the Khirweri area is the real time window.

Chapter 4: Demographic Scenario

Household Distribution

Our sample contains information about 841 households from 3 villages. Out of 841 household 500

household (59% of the total household)

have elderly people (more than 54 years of

age) in their house. This means there is a

huge scope for intervention of MMU units

in the area, as 59% of the household

reported with elderly population and those

population have minimum access to the

nearest available medical facilities.

Age and Gender Distribution of the Population

Age distribution is similar almost

similar in Akole block in Ahmednagar

district in Maharashtra. In total

population 55% are male and 45%

are female.Sex ratio is only 820 which

is much lesser than the national

average (National average is 940). Awareness should be created in this regard.

In every elderly age group

proportion of male is more

than proportion of female. In

age group of 55-60 years male

and female population are

almost equal. In the age group

of 76-80 years male are 64%

in comparison to 36%

females. In age group above

During the field survey information were collected from the respondents on ‘Total Monthly Income’

from all sources. Form this researchers have computed monthly household income and monthly per

capita income per members (after summing up all income sources and then divided by the number of

household members). By multiplying the number with 12 we have arrived at per capita income per

annum. It was observed that most of the household are farmers and tribal. The average per capita

income reported Rs. 24,700. This is far below the district per capita income of Rs. 71,054 (Maharashtra

Economic Survey 2012-13). Even the reported per capita income is below than Akole block’s per capita

income of Rs. 58,627.

almost every village BPL

populations are more than

APL. As BPL people are more in

every village and they do not have affordability to access medical facility, MMU could play an important

role to provide medical facility.

Chapter 5: Medical Facility

Available Government Health Facilities

As per census data there is

one district hospital, 2 sub-

district hospitals, 96 PHCs

and 555 sub centres in

Ahmednagar.

PHC’s status at Khirweri

There are 10 PHCs in Akole block, out of which only one PHC located in Khirweri, which is tribal PHC.

Particular Details Functioning on 24 X 7 hours basis No

Have doctor Yes

PHCs with at least 4 beds Yes

PHCs with AYUSH doctor No

PHCs having residential quarter for Medical Officer NA

New born care services on 24 X 7 hours basis No

Having referral services for pregnancies/delivery on 24 X 7 hours basis No

So it is clear that facilities in the PHC’s at Khirweri are equipped with basic maternal delivery system and

not sufficient enough to cater the entire mass of Khirweri. During survey our field investigators observed

following constraints at the PHC:

Non-availability of doctors /paramedics

Shortage of ANMs/ LHVs / MPWs.

Shortage of Drugs/ vaccines

Dysfunctional equipment

Untimely procurements

No minimum mandatory service provision standards for every facility in place which makes full

use of available human and physical resources and no road map to how desirable levels can be

achieved.

No local initiatives or role, Centralized management and schematic inflexibility

Lack of indicators and local health status assessments that can contribute to local Planning.

Poor capability to design and plan programmes.

Access and Preference of Medical Facility

Most of the residents in the area

avail multiple medical facilities for

their treatment. Around 84% avail

private clinics and private doctors

for their treatment. 80% of them

go the Sub centers/PHCs for their

treatment. About 62% avail medical facilities in Govt. Hospital. So, it is clear majority of people are

dependent on Private clinics/doctors for their basic treatment. MMU can play an important role here.

Around 71% respondents have chosen more than two options, which is similar in Khirweri and

Kombhalne village and in Poperewadi village. 51% respondents have chosen more than 2 options. As

people are choosing multiple options, either they are not satisfied with the single option or they want to

try different options. People opined that MMU provides better service than others they will choose

MMU for their future treatments.

As these villages are mainly tribal villages, they still opt for in household remedies at the first instance

(41.5%). In the second option 59.3% have selected modern medicine as their preference. Whereas,

34.6% have again taken household remedies as their third option.

Chapter 7: Way Ahead

The MMU units at Khirweri a collaborative efforts between SJVN and HelpAge is a real time window for

providing health services to the residents, especially elderly residents in the Khirweri area. MMU

operation is primarily addressing health issues of old age people. Therefore, it becomes important that

effective referral links are to be established with the mainstream health system. After introduction of

MMU units in the area awareness among household have risen and they prefer modern medicine as

their first preferred remedial option.

Besides, providing health services MMU units are also supporting in the awareness generation of the

Khirweri area for elderly population. As a result abuse in the area was found negligible. This can be a

role model for other adjacent areas also.

The Project Coordinator or Project Officer plays the role of a socialmobilizer and counsellor in order to

create demand for health services among the elderly population by conducting door-to-door visits and

also working along with the availablegovernment health infrastructure and the Gram Panchayat system.

All the elderly persons are motivated and counselled to seek timely health intervention.

In a nutshell it can be says that MMU units could be one of important centre for seeking basic health

related remedies in the area and could be one of the important hub for information of the localites to

introduce other government and non-government schemes in the area.
