Health
Executive Summary Complete Report
Despite significant economic growth over the past decades in India, our achievements in population health have not been commensurate. The National Development Agenda, unanimously agreed to by all the State Chief Ministers and Lieutenant Governors of Union Territories in 2015, had, inter alia, identified Health, Nutrition, Education, Women and Children as priority sectors. In order to achieve the National Development Agenda, it is imperative to make rapid improvement in these sectors. While the responsibility in this regard is shared between the Centre and the States, Health being a State subject, implementation is largely done by the States.
India along with other countries has committed to the adoption of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new global sustainable development agenda to be achieved by 2030. There is renewed commitment in India, to accelerate the pace of achievement of the SDGs including Goal 3 related to ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
In this regard, in order to rapidly bring about transformative action in achieving the desirable outcomes, a priority for NITI Aayog and Ministry of Health & Family Welfare is to prompt States towards improvements in outcomes in the coming years.In this context, NITI Aayog and MoH&FW are spearheading the Health Index initiative, to measure change in performance over the years.
It is anticipated that this framework will assist in State level monitoring of performance and improvement in health outcomes and will thereby meet the citizens’ expectations.
