Responsibilities & Context

Hence, urban PHC is dependent on the Out Patient Department (OPD) of public and private tertiary hospitals. So, a huge portion of the urban dwellers especially the vulnerable community remain deprived of getting healthcare. Eventually, their Out of Pocket (OOP) expenditure on health exceeds the limit for depending mostly on private health sector.
