"For the sixth time, the Government of India conducted its National Family & Health Survey [NFHS-6] demonstrating its commitment to using data for policy-making. The data point towards progress, driven by a strong public health vision, sustained reforms and effective last-mile delivery. Improvements in maternal and child health, immunization, nutrition, women’s empowerment and health protection reflect the collective efforts of health-care workers, frontline staff and communities. As India moves toward the Sustainable Development Goals, the findings reinforce its commitment to inclusive growth, equitable health care and a healthier, stronger future for every citizen.”
