Health: A Complete Wealth of the Population
Journal Title: Community and Public Health Nursing - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The Constitution of India makes health in India the responsibility of state governments, rather than the central federal government. It makes every state responsible for “raising the level of nutrition and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health as among its primary duties”. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The Twelfth Five Year plan covering 2012-2017 [35] was formulated based on the recommendation of a High Level Experts Group (HLEG) and other stakeholder consultations. The long term objective of this strategy is to establish a system of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in the country.
