Now Spice Tourism to Be Focused in Kerala

Kochi

A comprehensive health policy, which takes into consideration the State’s current and future health challenges and which sets the course (for the State) to move towards achieving Universal Health Coverage, is expected to be announced on April 7, World Health Day.

The draft policy lays emphasis on improving the health of women and adolescent girls and tackling the problems of anaemia and malnutrition as this was vital to reduce the State’s neonatal mortality rate. It also points out that the government should engage the private sector healthcare providers within a regulatory framework as it was impossible for the government to provide all services everywhere.

The discussion was organised by the Indian Medical Association here on Saturday.
