Women/Child Health & Population Control Program
Women/Child Health & Population Control Program: The
Sri Ram Vidyapeeth and DPS Social Society support programmes for rural and tribal
population. These attend to mother and child health, infectious diseases and the
emerging problem of diseases like diabetes and hypertension amongst the poor. The
programmes also focus on including the community in decision making and service
delivery. The National Health Policy (NHP) 2002 emphasized the need to train more
personnel in Public Health, citing that the discipline has an interface with many
other developmental sectors. The NHP also held that specialization in Public Health
may be encouraged not only for medical doctors, but also for non-medical graduates
from allied fields. Further, the Government of India proposed a National Council
for Human Resources within its Health Draft Bill, 2009.
