Background

Professional Development Courses for District Level Medical Officers were started at

NIHFW in September 2001. These courses were developed under health sector reforms

activities supported by European Commission. They addressed the needs of Senior

Medical Officers in different state health systems of India, who were either working at

district level or were almost at the brink of being promoted to occupy district level

positions in their respective state. To begin with PDC was a 12 weeks residential

orientation, subsequently condensed to 10 weeks. By 2006, the course was rolled out

to 16 training institutes (including two in the private sector) around the country but,

States have always found it challenging to spare right candidates for 10 week’s

residential program. Considering this NIHFW with the support of Institutional Technical

Support Unit (ITSU) developed the Professional Development Course in e-learning

mode for the Doctors in the District health system of India at the behest of the

Government of India.

Duration of the Course

The total duration of the course is 26 weeks (6 months).

Medium of Study

The medium of study is English.

Eligibility

Candidates would be Medical Doctors with at least 10 years’ experience in public Health

systems in the state(s). It is reiterated that States would nominate the Medical Officers

who are in the forefront to soon occupy district level positions. Officer to be nominated

must be skilled in routine computer operations. They will be advised to read and learn

from the course material available online at their convenience.

Number of candidates

It is proposed to register minimum 25 Doctors from each state in the course.

Objectives of the Course

To understand the existing status of policies, public health programs and managerial practices in different states of India

To acquire the skills to apply principles and techniques of health management for effective delivery of health services through public systems

To identify the changes required in the district health systems to make

them result yielding.

To acquire the skills to prepare and implement district action plan

To acquire the skills to use computer software’s in managing health

services at district level

To effectively manage all peripheral health facilities in the assigned district

To concurrently evaluate the national health programme in the assigned

district

Course Design

materials.

The National Institute of Health & Family Welfare

On March 9, 1977 the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare (NIHFW)

came in to existence by the merger of two erstwhile autonomous organizations

previously named as National Institute of Family Planning (NIFP) and National

Institute of Health Administration and Education (NIHAE) which were established in

the year 1962 and 1964 respectively. Since then the NIHFW has been functioning as a

multi-disciplinary Institute under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,

Government of India. NIHFW has been engaged in providing Education and Training to

health manager since last two decades through its regular courses of MD (CHA), DHA

and other in service training programs. NIHFW conducts 60-70 training courses per

year.

The Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health Management started in 2008-09 in

collaboration with MOHFW has gained popularity nationwide. However the in-service

training arrangements have not been able to meet the demands expeditiously.

Moreover, there is a need for continuous and consistent capacity building of health

professionals especially for the management of district health system. In order to

facilitate continuous up gradation of knowledge and skills of various health personnel

across the country, the NIHFW conducts following e-Learning courses.

1) Certificate Course for Professional Development in Public Health and

Health Sectors Reforms

2) Certificate Course in Programme Management for Public Healthcare
