MoHFW

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) was established in 1947 to oversee public health policy and government programs relating to health and family welfare in India. The ministry is responsible for various national health schemes, the regulation of medical education, and the implementation of healthcare programs across the country. MoHFW aims to ensure the attainment of the highest possible level of health and well-being for all citizens through preventive and promotive health care. The ministry operates several key programs, including the National Health Mission (NHM), the Universal Immunization Programme, and the Ayushman Bharat Health Insurance Scheme. It also focuses on maternal and child health, control of communicable and non-communicable diseases, and the improvement of medical infrastructure. The ministry collaborates with international organizations and NGOs to enhance health outcomes in India.
