For any public health facility including AAPLA DAWAKHANA to be considered as compliant with IPHS norms, a minimum standard for both the quantity and quality of services should be achieved.
A facility will be deemed as IPHS compliant if it fulfils the criteria that it provides all the ‘essential’ services identified for that level of facility rendered through requisite Infrastructure, Human Resources for Health, Medicines and Equipment.
The norms for service provision, infra-structural and human resource requirements, drugs, diagnostics and equipment, quality assurance, monitoring and governance will apply uniformly across all facilities in urban areas.
