Health Secretary Apurva Chandra releases Health Dynamics of India 2022-23

The document gives a cross-analysis across the states on the availability and deficiencies in manpower and infrastructure

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

Highlighting the document as a source of reliable and authentic information on various aspects of the National Health Mission (NHM), Chandra stated, "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 aid in making a comparison of the performance of the states on different parameters, he highlighted.

The Union Health Secretary also pointed out, 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.
