National Health Mission (NHM)

The National Health Mission (NHM) is an initiative by the Indian government aimed at improving healthcare accessibility and quality across the country, especially in rural and underserved areas. It focuses on strengthening healthcare infrastructure, training medical staff, and promoting preventive care and health education. By integrating programs for maternal and child health, infectious diseases, and sanitation, NHM seeks to reduce health disparities, improve health outcomes, and ensure equitable healthcare services for all citizens. Its overarching goal is to provide affordable, effective healthcare that reaches even the most remote populations.
