National Health Vision
Full Form of NHV
What is NHV?
The National Health Vision (NHV) is a strategic policy document formulated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, to outline the long-term healthcare goals and priorities for the nation. It serves as a blueprint for improving health outcomes, reducing disease burden, and ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare services across urban and rural India. The NHV typically sets targets for key health indicators such as maternal mortality, infant mortality, life expectancy, and disease eradication. It aligns with global commitments like the Sustainable Development Goals and national programs like Ayushman Bharat. The vision document is used by policymakers, state health departments, and healthcare planners to allocate resources and design interventions. It is referenced in government exams such as UPSC, state PCS, and health sector competitive exams, making it important for aspirants. The NHV emphasizes preventive care, digital health, and strengthening primary healthcare infrastructure. By providing a cohesive direction, the NHV helps India move toward universal health coverage and a healthier population.
