Section 4 in Indian Nursing Council (Diploma in Public Health Nursing) Regulations, 2020
4. PHILOSOPHY
The Council believes that the LHVs and GNMs need to be further trained to become the Block PHNs to function in various emerging public health areas of practice and the training should be competency based. This one year of additional training program would prepare the LHVs with skills and knowledge to deliver competent, intelligent and appropriate care to individuals, families and communities in the block level.
