Which of the following is the first Indian State to pass the ‘Right to Health Act’ ?

The correct answer is (b), Kerala.

Kerala was the first Indian state to pass the ‘Right to Health Act’ in 2008. The Act guarantees free and accessible healthcare to all citizens of Kerala. It also provides for the establishment of a State Health Authority to oversee the implementation of the Act.

The Act has been hailed as a landmark achievement in the field of healthcare in India. It has been credited with improving access to healthcare for millions of people in Kerala. The Act has also been instrumental in reducing the infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate in the state.

The Act has been implemented in a phased manner. The first phase of the implementation was completed in 2010. The second phase of the implementation is currently underway.

The Act has been facing some challenges in its implementation. One of the challenges is the lack of adequate infrastructure to provide healthcare to all citizens. Another challenge is the lack of trained manpower to provide healthcare.

Despite the challenges, the Act has been a success in improving access to healthcare for millions of people in Kerala. It is a model for other states in India to follow.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the first Indian state to pass the ‘Right to Health Act’.
