The following initiatives have been taken by the Government of India to ensure that the North-East States come at par with the national average on achieving full child immunization.
Under the National Health Mission (NHM), mobility support is provided to strengthen supportive supervision, alternate vaccine delivery from the last cold chain point at PHC/CHC to session site and incentives are provided to ASHA for mobilizing beneficiaries to the session site. Also incentives are provided to ASHA for full immunization of a child.
The Government of India has conducted four rounds of “Mission Indradhanush” in 33 high focus districts of North East states, targeting areas with partial immunization and no immunization. During these rounds, 5.6 lakh children and 0.53 lakh pregnant women were vaccinated in North East states.
The Government of India provides financial support to the States/UTs for strengthening/upgradation of healthcare infrastructure based on the proposals submitted by the states in their Programme Implementation Plans (PIP). The approvals for healthcare facilities are done in accordance with the population norms and case load in the health facilities. The population norms for setting up of public health facilities in the hilly/tribal and difficult areas are relaxed and are as under:-
