“WHO’s work with the Government of India continues to evolve in response to the changing disease burden, progress toward Universal Health Coverage, and the growing maturity of evidence-based policy dialogue. What remains constant, however, is our shared commitment to achieving Health for All, by All.”

"Pradhan Mantri Suraksh*t Matritva Abhiyan's decade-long success is built on three pillars: high coverage, quality-assured care, and ensuring no pregnant woman is left behind. Its strong focus on early detection and management of high-risk pregnancies has helped improve maternal and newborn health nationwide."

"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.”
