Introduction |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Dr. Banoo
Coyaji (link to page) always
believed that medical science must
bring benefits not only to the urban
population, but also to the community
at large. In the late 1960s she
realized the need to take medical
care to the rural areas. Thus was
born the Vadu Hospital that today
services 22 villages and a population
of 68,000 people.
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
The Vadu Rural Health Program
(commonly referred to as the Vadu Project) is
Dr. Banoo Coyaji's vision of KEM Hospital -
as an urban based, apex, tertiary care center
- providing medical and health services to an
underprivileged, rural population in the district
of Pune.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
In the early 70s, the Government
of the State of Maharashtra, authorized
KEM Hospital with the health care
responsibility of a defined, geographic
population of about 35,000 spread
over 18 villages. The Vadu Project
began with a base, in the Primary
Health Unit in the village of Vadu
Budruk, with the mandate of implementing
all the National Health Programs.
|
|
|
|
| |
To avoid duplication of services, the District
Health Services handed over the technical control
of its peripheral health staff and infrastructure
to KEM Hospital, while retaining administrative
control.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
This arrangement between the State, District
and a non-governmental organization is the only
surviving experiment to date, which has provided
a unique opportunity for public-private partnership,
allowing flexibility, and encouraging innovation
in health care delivery.

The Shirdi Sai Baba Rural Hospital at Vadu,
a 30-bed rural hospital, fully managed by KEM
Hospital, Pune, replaced the Primary Health
Unit at Vadu in 1983. It became the base for
offering secondary level health care services,
thus completing the 3-tier approach to health
care. The 3 tier approach in health care is
Primary Health care which is the outreach services,
secondary health care which is provided at the
Vadu Hospital and the tertiary level referral
care provided at the KEM Hospital, Pune.
