NATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

4.1.1. The Centre takes concerted measures to combat communicable, non-communicable and other major diseases. For this purpose, several National Programmes are directly run by the Ministry which can have a bearing in the reduction of mortality and morbidity and also have a salutary effect on efforts to improve the quality of life of the common man. These programmes also reinforce the delivery of primary, secondary and tertiary health care throughout the country. This chapter details the progress made in the conduct of these programmes during the period under report.
