AN ANALYSIS OF HEALTH CARE FACILITY SYSTEMS IN PURBA AND PASCHIM BARDHAMAN DISTRICTS, WEST BENGAL, INDIA

Human health has been globally considered as one of the key indicators of Human Development. The general health condition of the people of an area is indicative of the quality of the health care facilities available in that area. The present study strives to analyse different dimensions of health care facilities to find out the status of health care system of the Purba and Paschim Bardhaman Districts of West Bengal, India. To do so, Health Care Facility Index (HCFI) has been measured to appraise the overall health care condition of these two districts. The Paschim Bardhaman District has revealed comparatively better average HCFI value (0.34) than the Purba Bardhaman District (0.13).


Introduction
In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of diseases or infirmity" (WHO Constitution). In 1986, WHO redefined health as "A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities" (World Health Organization). This indicates that health is a resource to support an individual's activities in society (Husain, 1994). A healthy way of life provides the means to direct a full life (Mishra, 2007). Health care system or health care facilities of a region are obviously influenced by its social and economic conditions (Billings et al., 1993;Bindman et al., 1995;Mishra, 2007;Anthamatten and Hazen, 2011). Health Care Facilities vary across countries, communities and individuals (Joshi, 1997;Krishan, 2001;Singh, 2006;Mahanti, 2000 and2006;Meade and Earickson, 2006;Singh, 2006). Health Care Systems are the organizations or institutions established to provide health care to the needy people (King and Crews, 2013). As per World Health Organization (WHO), a good health care system deliver quality services to all the people when they need them and it needs a well-trained workforce, well maintained health facilities to deliver quality medicines and treatment (World Health Organization) A well-developed health care system can enhance a country's economic conditions and overall well-being of its citizens (Lakshminarayanan, 2011;Verma et all, 2018). Health care is considered as an important factor to promote the general health and well-being of people across the globe. The present study is an endeavour to analyse the Block wise health care facility system of Purba and Paschim Bardhaman District of West Bengal.

Study Area
In the present study 23 C.D. Blocks in Purba Bardhaman and 8 C.D. Blocks and 2 Municipal Corporation (M.C.) in Paschim Bardhaman has been considered for area under investigation. The Geographical co-ordinates of the area thus delimited extend from 22º56´ North to 23º53´ North latitudes and 86º48´ East to 88º25´ East longitudes (Bengal District Gazetteers, 1997).

Objectives
The main objectives of this study are: 1. To find out the Block wise disparity of Health Care Facility (HCF) of Purba and Paschim Bardhaman District and 2. To make the study more in depth with formulation a composite index i.e., Health Care Facility Index (HCFI) has been done and try to find the Block's positions within the District.

The value of HCFI ranges from '0' to '1'. The value '0' indicates the worst health care facilities system and '1' indicates the Perfect health care facilities. On the basis of the HCFI values, the C. D. Blocks are classified into three categories. The range 0.5<HCFI≤1 indicates 'High' or 'Very Good' health care facility system; 0.2<HCFI≤0.5 indicates 'Moderate' health care facility system and 0≤HCFI≤0.2 'Low' or 'Poor' health quality facility system.
After the Block wise calculation of Health Care Facility Index (HCFI) of Purba and Paschim Bardhaman District, we have placed each Blocks according to their rank. Table  number 4

Conclusion
Health care facility is one of the basic indicators to measure the wellbeing of a society. In this study different dimensions of health care facilities have been measured to analyse the health care system of Purba and Paschim Bardhaman District. Health Care Facility Index (HCFI) value of each Block shows the health care facilities condition and position of those Blocks within the District. The Mean HCFI value of Purba Bardhaman District is 0.13 which indicates very low situation of health care facilities of this District. On the other hand, the mean value of HCFI of Paschim Bardhaman District is 0.34 which indicates moderate health care facilities condition of this District. The Government may look for a way to enhance the quality of health care facilities from the grassroots level since wellbeing of a society is closely associated with the improvement of the health care facilities of that region.
