The DSS was introduced in the SAANs Abhiyan and Dastak Abhiyan in Madhya Pradesh. It was found to be an effective tool for primary caregivers to identify high-risk children. 


Looking at the tool's potential for not to miss any referral opportunities and facilitating systemic assessment of children for the present illnesses, the state has decided to train the RBSK medical officers on DSS.  There are a total of 1086 RBSK medical officers appointed in the state. 


A four-member RBSK team, comprised of Medical officers, nurses, pharmacists, and drivers, visits every village as per the schedule and conducts routine screening of all children, including children under five years of age.

A total of 1060 RBSK MO training was planned, of which 1046 medical officers were trained in 22 batches from 313 blocks of 51 districts in the state.
