New Delhi: India's latest NFHS-6 survey has flagged a mixed but broadly encouraging public health picture, showing material progress in key health indicators over the past three years, even as it underlines the need for greater spending on holistic healthcare for children and mothers, noted a report by SBI.
The SBI Research report noted that India has moved faster in the latest survey cycle than in the earlier decade-long gaps between NFHS rounds, allowing a clearer view of gains in maternal health, vaccination, and fertility transition. "The gap has been reduced to a fixed 3-year interval under the current Government to have a better tracking of indicators," the report said.
