The results of the Surveys have helped in assessing the performance of health sector programmes, planning new schemes / progammes and realigning the existing health schemes. National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in 2005 to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care to the population, especially the vulnerable groups. Following the success of NRHM, National Urban Health Mission was also lunched and the two Missions have been now subsumed under National Health Mission (NHM). Further, using data from DLHS and AHS, the Ministry has identified 184 High Priority Districts for focused attention on reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health.

The Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha here today.
