Abstract: The *Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) for Community Health Centres (CHCs) – Revised 2010 (Draft)* provides a standardized framework to improve secondary-level healthcare across India. It sets benchmarks for manpower, infrastructure, equipment, drugs, diagnostics, and support services like capacity building and laundry. The document integrates guidelines from national health programmes, including TB, HIV/AIDS, newborn care, and vector-borne diseases. Annexures detail essential resources and operational tools such as a Maternal Death Review Form and Citizens’ Charter. Aimed at strengthening service delivery and ensuring equity, the IPHS promotes quality care and improved health outcomes in rural and semi-urban communities.
