National Health Mission (NHM)

The National Health Mission envisages universal access to equitable, affordable and quality health care services that are also accountable and responsive to people’s needs. The scheme has two sub-missions, the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the National Urban Health Mission (NUHM). The main programmatic components of the scheme include Health System Strengthening, Reproductive-Maternal-Neonatal-Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A), and Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases.
