In written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha on Friday, Azad said the main objective of the proposed course, earlier known as Bachelor of Rural Health Care (BRHC), is to create mid-level health professionals who will be primarily deployed at sub-centres and would possess the necessary public health and ambulatory care competencies to serve the rural population. eligible for the course will be those who have completed 10+2 with science subjects — Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Admission as well as deployment will be district based as far as possible. After acquiring the BSc (Community Health) degree, the graduates will be employed as Community Health Officers (CHOs) by state government, said Azad.
A task force has been constituted to frame norms for requirement of physical infrastructure, facilities required in Rural Health Schools and examine aspects regarding introduction of the course. The matter is also being examined by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare.
