Rural Healthcare in India
Over the years development planning in India has focused on reducing the burden of illness and mortality among women and children. A large number of development and public health programmes such as the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) have been geared towards this, since a long time. India is committed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, particularly with respect to maternal and child health. Awareness generation is a major responsibility and fundamental importance, to ensure utilization of various healthcare programmes implemented by Government.
This multilingual portal aims to create awareness by providing useful healthcare related information to the rural communities, with a special focus on women and child health. The other major focus areas of this portal are nutrition, hygiene, first aid and diseases.
