đź“Š National Family Health Survey-6 (NFHS-6): A Reflection of India's Health Progress
The latest NFHS-6 findings highlight significant improvements in maternal health, child immunization, nutrition, women's empowerment, and health insurance coverage across India.
âś… Institutional deliveries increased to 90.6%
âś… Full immunization coverage reached 87.1%
âś… Child stunting reduced to 29.3%
âś… Health insurance coverage expanded to 60.2%
âś… Greater participation of women in decision-making and digital access
While these achievements are encouraging, challenges such as rising obesity, increasing non-communicable diseases, and higher Caesarean section rates remind us that sustained efforts are essential.
Evidence-based planning, community participation, and last-mile healthcare delivery remain key to ensuring that every mother and child receives quality health services.
