NATIONAL URBAN HEALTH MISSION (NUHM)

Mizoram is one of the smallest and most backward states in the country. The entire state of Mizoram is tribal dominated Area, hilly terrain characterized by poor transport and communication facilities. Although, the population of cities/towns in the state may be less than cities in other big states but the towns and cities are recognizing rapid expansions due to large scale migration from rural to urban areas in search of works, education and other opportunities. It may also be noted that migration from neighbouring States – Assam, Manipur and Tripura and neighbouring countries Myanmar & Bangladesh is also contributing a lot in the rapid increase of urban population. In Mizoram, urban population as per Census 2011 stands at 52.11% (571771) which is 29.64% more than the last decade.

The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in 2005 which make opportunity for the rural population to access health facilities and better health Care services. There have been little efforts in provisions of health care services for the urban poor community especially those who are dwelling in the outskirt of the city and towns. Since 2003-04 Urban Health Scheme has been taken up as one of the RCH Programmes covering two major Townships which is observed as not enough to meet the increasing demand of health care needs. It is necessary to address the health of urban poor in proportion to the growth of population.

The launch of National Urban Health Mission is much appreciated and anticipated while considering the health concerns of urban community. It will envisage systematically approach to provide integrated and sustainable health care service delivery for Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sectors in the urban areas of the State with focus on poor slums and other vulnerable groups.

OBJECTIVES: 

Provision of integrated and sustainable Primary Health Care to promote the health Status of urban poor community/ low income neighbourhoods, particularly those who are dwelling in the outskirt of the cities, towns and vulnerable sections, KFAs
