PIB (Press Information Bureau) backgrounder attributes India’s improved health-system performance over roughly the last 12 years to coordinated action across health financing, primary and tertiary service delivery, infrastructure building, and digital public infrastructure. The government’s framing connects social protection and accessibility goals with equity outcomes, including reported gains in maternal, neonatal, and under-5 mortality, alongside large-scale programme delivery figures across preventive, promotive, and curative care.
