Abstract

Introduction: The healthcare delivery system of Assam faces several challenges to provide affordable, accessible and quality care services. GNRC (Guwahati Neurological Research Center) is the first super-speciality hospital to address many of these gaps by delivering integrated affordable healthcare services to the populations of Assam and other parts of North-eastern India.

Description & discussion: This paper describes the implementation of a care delivery model which provides integrated care delivery services through linking hospitals to primary healthcare services, including preventive, promotive, and curative care, along with delivering easily accessible and affordable care to the people of Assam and other parts of North-eastern India.

Conclusion: The proposed model is the first innovative approach from North-eastern India, Assam, to deliver affordable, accessible and patient-centric hospital led community-based preventive, promotive, and primary, secondary, and tertiary hospital-based care. It is anticipated that GNRC's "Affordable Health Mission" will help redesign and integrate the way primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare is delivered to the population of Assam in helping patients manage their own health and reduce the numbers that needs to be admitted to secondary care and tertiary care by improving patients' independence and well-being as well as dramatically reducing the cost to the overall health system.

获得负担得起的医疗服务：印度东北部 GNRC 医院的医疗服务模式。

导言：阿萨姆邦的医疗保健服务系统在提供可负担、可获得和高质量的医疗保健服务方面面临着诸多挑战。GNRC（古瓦哈提神经病学研究中心）是首家超级专科医院，通过向阿萨姆邦和印度东北部其他地区的居民提供负担得起的综合医疗保健服务，弥补了其中的许多不足：本文介绍了一种医疗服务模式的实施情况，该模式通过将医院与初级医疗保健服务（包括预防、促进和治疗护理）联系起来，提供综合医疗服务，同时为阿萨姆邦和印度东北部其他地区的居民提供易于获得且负担得起的医疗服务：拟议的模式是印度东北部阿萨姆邦的首个创新方法，旨在提供以医院为主导的社区预防、促进、初级、二级和三级医院护理服务，这些服务价格低廉、易于获得且以患者为中心。预计 GNRC 的 "负担得起的保健任务 "将有助于重新设计和整合向阿萨姆邦居民提供初级、二级和三级保健服务的方式，帮助病人管理自己的健康，减少需要接受二级和三级保健服务的人数，从而提高病人的独立性和福祉，并大幅降低整个保健系统的成本。
