Health Services in Rajasthan

“Healthy citizens are an asset to the nation” - Mahatama Gandhi

“If money is lost nothing is lost, If health is lost some thing is lost”

“Healthy soul prevails in healthy body”

All these quotes are good enough to describe the importance of health in human life. The ill health deficits the working ability of the person this results in the slow growth of the nation.  Therefore, good health is given priority by every government at national and international fora. This can be better understood from the national policies of every nation where food security is regarded as the prime responsibility of every government. Thus, the above quote by Mahatama Gandhi seems to be quite relevant in the context of national development.

The government of India is quite concerned towards the better health of its citizens and to achieve this objective various programmes viz., National Rural Health Mission , Aids control programmes, mid-day meal programmes etc, are initiated by government from time to time.

The state of Rajasthan is fortunate that every ruling government gave an equal importance to health development programmes and successfully initiated various programmes started by the government of India.

Health Bodies of Rajasthan


Healthcare in Rajasthan

The major health controlling body in the state is Department of Medical, Health and Family Welfare, Government of Rajasthan under which various autonomous health institute operate. The major being State Institute of Health and Family Welfare which implements various health programmes in the state. Apart from this Voluntary Health Association of India also operates its health oriented programmes in the state. VHAI also monitors the progress of various health progammes initiated in the state by the government.

State Institute of Health and Family Welfare

RVHA implemented a programme on Malaria Control, named “Village Contact Campaign” in collaboration with State Malaria Control Society, Rajasthan Health and Family Welfare Department.  The major thrust of the programme is to focus on the most affected 994 villages of Kishanganj of District Baran, Asnavar of Jhalawar District, Dhariyavad of Udaipur District and Pokharan of Jaisalmer District.

At present the major health programme implemented by the government of Rajasthan is National Rural Health Mission which aims at providing better health facilities to the vulnerable section of society in the rural and urban slum areas. State Health Societies are created to fulfill the goal of providing health benefits to the inhabitants under National Rural Health Mission. Rajasthan is one of the specially focused 18 states with weak public health indicators.

Government of Rajasthan has established Rajasthan State Health Society which functions under Department of Health & Family Welfare. National Rural Health Mission is running several schemes like Janani Suraksha Yojna (JSY) for the pregnant women. When the delivery is under society financial aid is provided for pre and post care. The scheme also aims at reducing maternal and infant mortality rate.

The society monitors the Directorate, District Societies, NGOs etc. and keeps a check on the proper management of funds received from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, execution of contracts and monitoring their performance.

Training, meetings, conferences, review of policy, workshops and inter-State exchange visits etc. are organized by Rajasthan Health society to draw inputs by strengthening the execution of NRHM in the State.
