INTRODUCTION

The health service system in India started with the British rule . Initially, the purpose of health service was to provide services to soldiers and European civil servants and the control of epidemic diseases like plague , cholera , smallpox was started with the help of local self-government institutions, preferably in the cantonment areas . The British rule introduced Western medicine, so the existing traditional medicine and Ayurvedic treatment were ignored . Initially, therapeutic services were provided through hospitals and clinics in big cities . The Planning Committee suggested providing health services in rural areas in 1940 and organized training for health workers to provide health services at the rate of 1 health worker per 1000 population . The first primary health center was started in 1942 in the village of Shingur near Calcutta ( West Bengal ) . It was called the Rural Health Unit .
