New Delhi, May 20: India remains firmly committed to strengthening maternal and child health outcomes, Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda said on Wednesday, reiterating the government’s focus on improving healthcare access and reducing preventable deaths.
He highlighted that ongoing public health initiatives are aimed at enhancing maternal care, ensuring safe childbirth, and improving child nutrition and immunization coverage across the country.
