Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) aims at early identification and early intervention for children from birth to 18 years to cover 4 Ds viz. Defects at birth, Deficiencies, Diseases, Development delays including disability.
There is a provision in the programme that children of 0-6 years age group will be specifically managed at District EarlyInterventionCentre(DEIC) levelwhile for 6-18 years age group, management of conditions will be done through existing public health facilities. DEIC will act as referral linkages for both the age groups. DEICs are being established in a phased manner in the State.
First level of screening is being done at all delivery points through existing Medical Officers, Staff Nurses and ANMs. After 48 hours till 6 weeks of age the screening of newborns is being done by ASHA at home as a part of HBNC package.
Outreach screening is being done by dedicated mobile health teams of children of 6 weeks to 6 years at Anganwadi Centres and 6-18 years children at School.
Once the child is screened and referred from any of these points of identification, it is ensured that the necessary treatment/intervention is delivered free of cost.
The services aim to cover children of 0-6 years of age in rural areas in addition to children enrolled in classes Ito XII in Government and Government aided Schools
