India has come a long way from 40 years ago, when seven of every 10 children were undernourished. Yet, the old problems remain and the health system is still only partly equipped to deal with the persistent and emerging challenges. This paper calls for a realignment of the health system to widen its focus beyond reproductive and child health, and communicable diseases.
India continues to face stubborn challenges in many social and development sectors, including in healthcare. This paper builds on the findings of NITI Aayog’s report — ‘Healthy States, Progressive India’ — to examine the progress being made by India’s states and union territories in achieving health goals.
