The first District Health Assembly of Thoothukudi district was held here on Thursday with Collector K. Senthil Raj chairing the meet, which was convened to identify the challenges in the health sector through comprehensive discussion with stakeholders.
“Public health sector service delivery will be effective only if the community actively participates in the whole process of planning and service delivery. In this regard, to increase citizen empowerment and social accountability of the health sector to its citizens, the Tamil Nadu Health Systems Reforms Programme [TNHSRP] has proposed to convene District and State Health Assemblies with the support of World Bank. The purpose of the DHA is to discuss health challenges and felt needs of the people and establish a dialogue between different stakeholders at the community level,” Dr. Senthil Raj, who is a physician, said while explaining the purpose of the meet.
