AHS provides key indicators on Reproductive and Child Health at District level in 8 EAG States and Assam Vital inputs for evidence based intervention and monitoring
“ There should be an Annual Health Survey of all districts which could be published/monitored and compared against benchmarks” -Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India – In the meeting of National Commission of Population, 2005
OBJECTIVE OF AHS • AHS yields a comprehensive, representative and reliable dataset on core vital indicators including composite ones like IMR, MMR and TFR along with their co-variates (process and outcome indicators) at the district level and maps changes therein on an annual basis. • These benchmarks would help in better and holistic understanding and timely monitoring of various determinants on well-being and health of population particularly Reproductive and Child Health.
WHY AHS? • AHS States constitute: • 48 percent of country’s Population • 59 percent of Births • 70 percent of Infant Deaths • 75 percent of Under 5 Deaths • 62 percent of Maternal Deaths • Enable direct monitoring of UN Millennium Development Goals on Child Mortality and Maternal Health at the district(s) level. • Help in identifying high focus districts meriting special attention in view of stark inter-district variations in these States. • Provide critical inputs to assess the milestones of various interventions including NRHM and pave the way for evidence based planning.
KEY FEATURES • Coverage- All the 284 districts of 8 EAG States and Assam. • Sample Units- 20,694 statistically selected sample unit (Census Enumeration Blocks in urban areas and Villages or a part thereof in rural areas) • Sample Identification Work- to uniquely identify the sample units on ground, firm up its boundaries, demarcate the localities and prepare a notional map of the sample unit was done by the staff of ORGI. • Sample Units per district- 73. • Sample Population- About 20.1 million The Largest Sample Survey in the World
KEY FEATURES Contd… • Sample Population per district -About 71 thousand. • Sample Households - 4.1 million households. • Sample households per district - About 14.5 thousand. • Conduct of Field Work - hybrid approach wherein fieldwork has been outsourced and supervision is being done by the ORGI. • Primary Level of Aggregation – District • Periodicity-Annual
