The Government has approved the launch of the National Rural Health Mission (2005-12) for providing integrated comprehensive Primary Healthcare Services, especially to the poor and vulnerable sections of the Society. The Mission is already launched in year 2005 throughout the country with high focus on the 18 States, including 8 Empowered Action Group States (U.P., Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Uttaranchal, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh), 8 North East States (Sikkim, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Meghalaya and Mizoram), Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.
The Mission aims to undertake architectural correction of the Health System to enable it to effectively handle the increased allocation for Public Health, as promised under the National Common Minimum Programme of the United Progress Alliance Government. It also aims to bridge gaps in rural healthcare through increased community ownership, decentralization of the programmes to the district level, inter-sectoral convergence and improved primary health care. The Mission aims to achieve the goal of the National Population Policy and the National Health Policy through improved access to affordable, accountable and reliable Primary Health Services.
