Communitization

1. a)Introduction:
   Communitisation was launched in the Department after the bill was passed by the State Assembly with the enactment of Nagaland Communitisation of Public Institutions and Services Act, 2002. In the beginning only the rural based health centres were communitised, but in due course of time, almost all the functioning health units have been communitised, except the district hospitals.
2. b) Objectives/Aims for Communitization:

1. Make community aware that health is the responsibility of both the Government and the community.
2. Enable the community to own-up health centres so as to plan and execute their own health needs with the staff for both preventive and curative.
3. Create awareness for the community to contribute in the form of support – morally and to donate cash and kind to meet the gaps when there are shortages.
4. Encourage/popularize the locally available indigenous herbs/ practices as an alternative health care.
