Achievement of
MDGS Targets
Millennium
Development Goals
(MDGs) are eight
international
development goals set
by the United Nations
which member
countries, including
India, have agreed to
achieve by the year
2015. MDGs directly
pertaining to Health
Sector and the
progress made by
India is as under:
Goal 4:
Reduce Child
Mortality: Target is
to reduce Under Five
Mortality Rate
(U5MR) by two thirds
between 1990 & 2015.
In case of India, it
translates into a goal
of reducing U5MR to
less than 39 per 1000
live births by 2015. As
per the WHO/UNICEF
report “countdown to
2015 on maternal,
newborn & child
survival”, India has
made insufficient
progress with respect
to U5MR. However, as
per the latest
available estimates
from the office of
Registrar General of
India (RGI), the U5MR
was 59 per 1000 live
births in 2010.
Assuming an average
decline of 7.8% per
year observed during
2009 - 2010, India’s
U5MR will be 39 by
2015 as required
under MDG-4.
Goal 5:
Improve Maternal
Health: Reduce
Maternal Mortality
Ratio (MMR) by three
quarters between
1990 & 2015. As per
the estimates of MMR
released by the WHO,
UNICEF, UNFPA and
the World Bank, India
requires to reduce
MMR from 600 in
1990 to 150 per
100,000 live births in
2015. As per the
report “countdown to
2015 on maternal,
newborn & child
survival”, India is
“making progress” to
achieve MDG-5.
Further, as
per the latest
estimates released by
the office of RGI, the
MMR in India stands
at 212 per 100,000
live births during
2007-2009. Assuming
that the 5.5% rate of
annual decline
observed during
2004-06 and 2007-09
will continue, India’s
MMR is likely to
reduce to 143 per
100,000 live births in
2015, achieving the
MDG target.
Goal 6:
Combat HIV/AIDS,
malaria, and other
diseases. Target is to
halt by 2015 and
begin to reverse the
spread of HIV/AIDS
and the incidence of
malaria and other
major diseases.
The progress made so
far in this regard is as
under:
· In case of
HIV/AIDS,
new annual
HIV infections
have declined
by about 58 %
from 2.74
lakhs in 2000
to 1.16 lakhs
in 2011.
· In case of
malaria,
Annual
Parasitic
Incidence has
been brought
down from
2.57 cases per
1000
population in
1990 to 1.10
cases per 1000
population in
2011.
· In case of
Tuberculosis,
prevalence in
India has
come down by
57.5% from
586 per
100,000
population in
1990 to 249
per 100,000
population in
2009.
Mortality has
reduced by
45.2% from 42
per 100,000
population to
23 per 100,000
population
during this
period.
The National
Rural Health Mission
(NRHM) was launched
in 2005 with the aim
to improve the
availability of and
access to quality
health care including
Maternal and Child
Health services and
disease control
programmes
particularly to rural
population
throughout the
country, with a
special focus on 18
States with weak
public health
indicators and
infrastructure.
The following
steps have been
taken by the
Government to
achieve the MDG
indicators in the
health sector in the
country.
For reducing
child mortality, the
steps taken include
Integrated
Management of Neo-
natal & childhood
illness, training of
ASHAs (Accredited
Social Health Activist)
in Home based new
born care, Navajat
Shishu Suraksha
Karyakram, setting
up of sick new born
care units at district
hospitals, promoting
exclusive
breastfeeding and
complementary
feeding, strengthening
routine immunisation
programme, focussing
on reduction in
morbidity and
mortality due to
Acute Respiratory
Infections (ARI) and
Diarrhoeal Diseases,
name based tracking
of pregnant women
and children, etc.
For
improving maternal
health, the steps
taken include
promoting
institutional
deliveries,
strengthening of
infrastructure,
Strengthening of
Essential and
Emergency Obstetric
Care services,
Strengthening
Referral Systems,
launching of Janani
Shishu Suraksha
Karyakaram, Maternal
Death Review,
organising village
health and nutrition
days, engagement of
ASHA at community
level, introduction of
integrated mother and
child health card, etc.
The steps
taken to control
diseases like HIV /
AIDs, Malaria and
Tuberculosis include
early diagnosis and
treatment, improving
monitoring and
evaluation,
strengthening human
resources,
involvement of NGOs,
Private sector and
community, providing
services near to the
