IPHS were first published in January/February 2007 and hence were used as a reference point for public health infrastructure planning and upgradation in States and UTs.
This is the main driving force for continues improvement in quality.
Although it is true that there are existing standards as prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards, these are at present not achievable as they are very resource-intensive. Hence a less resource intensive standard suited to the requirements of the system has been developed.

Theophylline has two distinct actions in the airways of patients with reversible obstruction; smooth muscle relaxation (i.e., bronchodilation) and suppression of the response of the airways to stimuli (i.e., non-bronchodilator prophylactic effects).

These centres would deliver Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC) bringing healthcare closer to the homes of people covering both maternal and child health services and non-communicable diseases, including free essential drugs and diagnostic services.
Health and Wellness Centers, are envisaged to deliver and expanded range of services to address the primary health care needs of the entire population in their area, expanding access, universality and equity close to the community. The emphasis of health promotion and prevention is designed to bring focus on keeping people healthy by engaging and empowering individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviors and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and morbidities.
The delivery of Universal Comprehensive Primary Health Care, through HWCs will increase the health system responsiveness to people by bringing services closer to the communities and being able to address the needs of most marginalized, through Primary Health Care team.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY)
The other component of Ayushman Bharat, namely Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) aims to provide financial protection for secondary and tertiary care to about 40% of India's households. Together the two components of Ayushman Bharat will enable the realization of the aspiration of Universal Health Coverage (read more https://www.pmjay.gov.in/)
Defining HWCs
To ensure delivery of Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC) services, existing Sub Centres covering a population of 3000 -5000 would be converted to Health and Wellness Centres, with the principle being "time to care" to be no more than 30 minutes. Primary Health Centres in rural and urban areas would also be converted to HWC. Such care could also be provided/ complemented through outreach services, Mobile Medical Units, camps, home and community-based care, but the principle should be a seamless continuum of care that ensures the principles of equity, universality and no financial hardship.
SHC- HWC Team
The HWC at the Sub Health Centre level would be equipped and staffed by an appropriately trained Primary Health Care team, comprising of Multi-Purpose Workers (male and female)&ASHAs and led by a Mid-Level Health Provider (MLHP). Together they will deliver an expanded range of services. In some states, sub health centres have earlier been upgraded to Additional PHCs. Such Additional PHCs will also be transformed to HWCs.
A Primary Health Centre (PHC) that is linked to a cluster of HWCs would serve as the first point of referral for many disease conditions for the HWCs in its jurisdiction. In addition, it would also be strengthened as a HWC to deliver the expanded range of primary care services.
PHC/UPHC- HWC Team
The Medical Officer at the PHC would be responsible for ensuring that CPHC services are delivered through all HWCs in her/his area and through the PHC itself. The number and qualifications of staff at the PHC would continue as defined in the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS).
For PHCs to be strengthened to HWCs, support for training of PHC staff (Medical Officers, Staff Nurses, Pharmacist, and Lab Technicians), and provision of equipment for "Wellness Room", the necessary IT infrastructure and the resources required for upgrading laboratory and diagnostic support to complement the expanded ranges of services would be provided. States could choose to modify staffing at HWC and PHC, based on local needs.
