The National Health Mission (NHM) is an initiative by the Indian government aimed at improving healthcare access and quality across the country, especially in underprivileged areas. It focuses on strengthening health systems, reducing maternal and child mortality, controlling diseases, and promoting preventive care. The NHM supports hospitals, trains health workers, and provides essential medicines and services to ensure everyone receives affordable, quality healthcare. Its goal is to make healthcare available, accessible, and equitable for all citizens, particularly the disadvantaged and rural populations.
