Abstract: The Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) for Sub-Centres Guidelines (Revised 2010 – Draft) set essential norms to improve primary healthcare in India. Focusing on maternal and child health, the guidelines specify requirements for infrastructure, manpower, equipment, drugs, and support services to ensure effective sub-centre functioning. They include protocols for waste disposal, record keeping, and monitoring to maintain quality and accountability. Annexures provide practical tools like immunization schedules, staff roles, layouts, and checklists for consistent implementation. Overall, the draft aims to standardize services, enhance health outcomes, and strengthen primary healthcare under the National Rural Health Mission.
