Union Health Minister J P Nadda said the new health policy of the government was "preventive and promotive", unlike the previous one which was disease-centric.
"The reason to bring in a new health policy was that the previous health policy was focused on disease or it was disease-centric. It was more like working on urgent issues rather than important issues, so we decided to have a policy which will be preventive and promotive," he said.
