What are the criteria?
Devices in non-communicable disease services such as glucometers to check blood sugar, pulse oximeters to measure blood oxygen levels, spirometers to check lung function, even devices like water beds for patients in palliative care, or colposcopes for cervical cancer screening in cancer diagnosis, and Leap machines for treatment are required according to the criteria of each health organization.
Like Glucometer should be 2 in each sub-centre, primary health center and clinic also while oximeter should be 1 in each team and clinic. So a hospital with 100 beds needs at least 1 echocardiography machine. Other criteria are being checked according to the health organization.
