Bhadrak's Response to Theme- DAPCUs and F-ICTCs

What is the role of DAPCUs in establishing F-ICTCs? 

  1. To identify the 24 hours PHC or area hospital having 20 bedded services for the patients.
  2. To ensure the staffing position like Doctors/Pharmacists/Staff nurses/ANM/LHV/Attendant/lab technician.
  3. To ensure the lab-facilities, where DMC will be functioning along with normal routine testing.
  4. To ensure at least 50 deliveries in a month. 
  5. To ensure the ANC flow to the hospitals.
  6. To ensure about the community accessibility towards the health service.
  7. To ensure about the minimum infrastructure.

In the above circumstances, DAPCU should monitor properly other things like

  • Service delivery system of NRHM and RCH
  • STI prevalence in the areas.
  • Distance  from the standalone  ICTC 

Finally, DAPCU will give proposal in the DAPCC meeting to ensure its observations to the members of the committee and it will be unanimously taken decision by the members to propose OSACS for establishing FICTCs.

How do you help in locating a suitable health facility to establish F-ICTCs?

By proper monitoring its infrastructure sanitation, hygiene, care and treatment and other services.

Capacity building of the F-ICTC (i.e. training of staff, providing registers/ formats, providing guidance, supervision etc.)


In case of capacity building of the existing staffs like ANM, Nurse, Lab-technician, the name will be intimated to OSACS for Induction training, prior to providing services, DAPCU can arrange  the orientation  training in the District level for the above staffs for early functioning.


In case of ensuring supply management system, DAPCU will provided the registers all types of reporting formats and testing  kits from its existing storage facilities by direct delivery system, and DAPCU will co-ordinate with NRHM regarding supply of other  equipment for laboratory.

Strengthening of linkages between F-ICTC and Designated ICTCs

In the crisis management, DAPCU will strengthen the co-ordination by supplying the materials, deputation of Counsellor and LT etc.

Monitoring and evaluation of F-ICTCs

As a result, FICTC is a service delivery structure in the HIV programme, for its proper functioning, DAPCU should take the greater role to strengthen its service.
