The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Wednesday placed the draft copy of the National Health Policy 2015 in the public domain to seek suggestions, comments and views from various stakeholders.
The Policy addresses the urgent need to improve the performance of health systems.
It is being formulated in the last year of the Millennium Declaration and its Goals, in the global context of all nations committed to moving towards universal health coverage.
It is a declaration of the determination of the Government to leverage economic growth to achieve health outcomes and an explicit acknowledgment that better health contributes immensely to improved productivity as well as to equity.
An official release said, the Policy can be viewed at ww.mohfw.nic.in and the last date for sending views and comments is February 28.
