The state has a high prevalence of communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV\/AIDS. Malnutrition is also a major problem in Mizoram, with over 30% of children under the age of five suffering from stunting. Limited access to healthcare in rural areas is another major public health challenge faced by the state.<\/p>\n<p>According to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of tuberculosis in Mizoram is 100 per 100,000 people, which is more than double the national average. Malaria is also a major problem in the state, with an estimated 100,000 cases reported each year. HIV\/AIDS is another communicable disease that is prevalent in Mizoram, with an estimated 10,000 people living with the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Malnutrition is also a major problem in Mizoram, with over 30% of children under the age of five suffering from stunting. Stunting is a condition that occurs when children do not get enough nutrients during their early years of life. It can lead to a number of health problems, including impaired cognitive development, poor school performance, and increased risk of chronic diseases in adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>Limited access to healthcare in rural areas is another major public health challenge faced by Mizoram. According to the National Health Mission, only 50% of villages in the state have a primary health center. This means that many people in rural areas have to travel long distances to access healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>The high prevalence of communicable diseases, malnutrition, and limited access to healthcare are all major public health challenges faced by Mizoram. These challenges need to be addressed in order to improve the health of the population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;High prevalence of communicable diseases&#8221;
