From the Guidelines
India has a comprehensive array of health programs aimed at addressing various healthcare needs, with a focus on improving access, reducing disease burden, and enhancing public health outcomes. The major health programs in India include:
- National Health Mission (NHM), which encompasses both the National Rural Health Mission and National Urban Health Mission to provide accessible healthcare services to rural and urban populations 1.
- Ayushman Bharat program, consisting of Health and Wellness Centers and the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), providing comprehensive primary healthcare and health insurance coverage for underprivileged families 1.
- Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) for vaccinating children against preventable diseases.
- National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) targeting malaria, dengue, and other vector-borne illnesses.
- Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) for TB management.
- National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
- National Mental Health Programme (NMHP).
- National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS).
- Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) for maternal health.
- Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) for child health screening.
- National Programme for Healthcare of the Elderly (NPHCE). These programs collectively aim to improve healthcare access, reduce disease burden, and enhance overall public health outcomes across diverse population segments in India. The implementation of these programs is crucial in addressing the healthcare needs of the population, and their success can be measured by the improvement in morbidity, mortality, and quality of life outcomes. It is essential to note that while the provided evidence 1 discusses various aspects of healthcare, including antibiotic stewardship and management of STEMI in low- and middle-income countries, the most relevant information for this question is the overview of India's health programs. The Ayushman Bharat program, for instance, has been shown to provide comprehensive primary healthcare and health insurance coverage for underprivileged families, which can significantly impact morbidity, mortality, and quality of life outcomes 1.
From the Research
Health Programmes in India
There are no research papers provided to assist in answering this question about the specific health programmes in India. The studies provided are related to vector-borne diseases, infectious diseases, and the burden of diseases globally, but they do not mention health programmes in India.
- The studies 2, 3, 4, 5 discuss various diseases and their global impact, but do not provide information about health programmes in India.
- These studies focus on topics such as vector-borne diseases, the "Big Three" infectious diseases (Tuberculosis, Malaria, and HIV/AIDS), and the converging burdens of infectious and non-communicable diseases in Sub-Saharan African populations.
- They do not provide any information about specific health programmes in India, so it is not possible to list them based on the provided evidence.
