National Rural Health Mission

Abstract

In the year of 2005 the National Rural Health Mission was set-up by the Prime Minister, to offer accessible, affordable and standard health care to the remote and rural population, especially (women’s child, adolescent girls) vulnerable groups. NRHM focuses on women’s health of Reproductive, Maternal care. New-born care, child health and adolescent reproductive health services. The attention here is on strategies for promote maternal and child health through a continuity of care and the approach life cycle. It recognises unseparated linkages between maternal health, adolescent health, family welfare and child survival. Additionally, the linking of facility-based care and community and strengthening first referrals between various levels of health care system to create a follow-up care pathway is also need to be focussed.
