New Delhi: Recently, through a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha, Minister of State (Independent Charge) SmtAnupriya Patel informed about the White Paper on Non-Communicable diseases.
The Government has formulated and brought out National Health Policy (NHP), 2017, which aims at attainment of the highest possible level of good health and well-being, through a preventive and promotive health care orientation in all developmental policies, and universal access to good quality health care services without anyone having to face financial hardship as a consequence.
NHP has recognized the growing burden on account of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and advocated the need to halt and reverse the growing incidence of chronic diseases. This policy denotes important change from very selective to comprehensive primary health care package.
While Health is a State subject, the Central Government supplements the efforts of the State Governments for improving healthcare.
