Health Ministry Releases “Health Dynamics of India (Infrastructure and Human Resources) 2022-23”

New Delhi: Union Health Secretary, Shri Apurva Chandra released “Health Dynamics of India (Infrastructure and Human Resources) 2022-23”, an annual publication formerly known as “Rural Health Statistics”, here today. The document has been published since 1992.

Highlighting the document as a source of reliable and authentic information on various aspects of National Health Mission (NHM), Shri Apurva Chandra stated that “The annual publication is a valuable document furnishing much needed information on manpower and infrastructure within NHM, helpful in policy making, improving processes and problem solving”. He added that the document gives a cross analysis across the states on the availability and deficiencies in manpower and infrastructure. The data is immensely helpful in understanding the requirements of the states, their priority areas and formulating policies and targeted campaigns, he said. The health statistics also aids in making a comparison in the performance of the states on different parameters, he highlighted.

Union Health Secretary also pointed at the “need to integrate the Health Management Information System (HMIS) Portal with Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) and other portals of the Ministry to reduce the burden of work of health functionaries and to ensure that the data are uploaded timely and analysed carefully.”
