The National Health Mission (NHM) is a government initiative launched in 2005 to improve healthcare in India. The NHM aims to achieve this by strengthening infrastructure, expanding health services, and promoting awareness.
Strengthening infrastructure means building new hospitals and clinics, and upgrading existing ones. This includes providing better facilities for patients, such as clean and comfortable wards, and well-equipped operating theaters. It also includes providing better facilities for doctors and nurses, such as training facilities and research facilities.
Expanding health services means providing more health services to more people. This includes providing more primary care services, such as immunization and family planning, and more secondary and tertiary care services, such as surgery and cancer treatment. It also includes providing more preventive care services, such as health education and screening programs.
Promoting awareness means educating people about the importance of health and how to stay healthy. This includes educating people about the causes of diseases, the symptoms of diseases, and how to prevent diseases. It also includes educating people about the importance of seeking medical care when they are sick.
All of these activities are important for improving healthcare in Mizoram. By strengthening infrastructure, expanding health services, and promoting awareness, the NHM can help to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for all people in Mizoram.
