Abstract

The National Rural Health Mission was launched in the Manipur in November 2005. The review revealed that the Department did not achieve the goal set for the health indicators i.e. Infant Mortality Rate, Maternal Mortality Rate and Total Fertility Rate by March 2010. Planning process was inadequate as it was prepared without baseline survey inputs. As of March 2010, the State was yet to carry out a comprehensive household and facility survey to identify the gaps in health care facilities. Up-gradation of Community Health Centres, Primary Health Centres and Sub-Centres to the level of Indian Public Health Standards had not been achieved. While the percentage of fully immunized infants ranged between 69 and 81 per cent during 2005-06 and 2007-10, it exceeded the target during 2006-07. There was an absence of monitoring and evaluation mechanism. As of December 2010 all the vertical diseases control programmes had not been merged with the Mission.
