In a Glance: Maternal and Child Health in Meghalaya

Rahul Das
(2023)

Meghalaya has been a poor performer across critical health indicators such as maternal mortality, infant mortality, and several aspects of nutrition in the National Family Health Survey – V. The state government has undertaken several initiatives over the years which have yielded results. But challenges persist. Two of them are: i) a difficult geographical terrain across the state which makes it challenging to localise interventions, and ii) high resource constraint, both in terms of trained human resources and finances.
