We assessed the availability of cardiac services in the district of Faridabad in the northern State of Haryana, India and explored the feasibility and challenges of implementing a hub-and-spoke model.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMethods<\/jats:title>\nIn 2019-2020, we listed all the facilities in private and public sectors in the study-district and mapped their geocoordinates with the help of QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) software version 3.20. After consent, we assessed the availability of specific cardiac care-related inputs (medicines, technologies and staff) using a checklist by enquiring from the hospital staff. Each facility was classified as L1 (No ECG) to L5 (cardiac catheterization) as per the national guidelines for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults<\/jats:title>\nThere were 109 health facilities (66% private) in the district, 1.6 cardiologists and 5.4 coronary care unit beds per 100,000 population (94% private). Only one district hospital running in a public-private partnership mode at the L5 level provided any cardiac services. Private facilities were providing a range of services with a considerable number of them functional at L5. The higher-level facilities were concentrated in the central and urban parts of the district. Only 46 per cent of the ambulances had oxygen cylinders and 14.7 per cent had defibrillators.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nInterpretation & conclusions<\/jats:title>\nImplementation of a hub-and-spoke model for cardiac care in Faridabad district will require significant strengthening of public health services, development of a private-sector participation model, and strengthening of ambulance services.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/ijmr_1789_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]],"date-time":"2024-07-24T17:23:20Z","timestamp":1721841800000},"page":"347-355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Strengthening
