The National Health Policy of India from 1983 aimed to achieve health for all by 2000 through universal access to primary health centers. However, it was criticized for not having enough resources to achieve this goal. The 2002 policy took a more realistic approach. The 2017 policy aims to provide universal health coverage through increased access, improved quality, and lower costs. It seeks to reduce disease burdens and mortality rates while expanding preventive, promotive, and rehabilitative health services.

- 10. • The National Health Policy of 1983 and the National Health Policy of 2002 have served well in guiding the approach for the health sector. The current context has however changed in four major ways. 1. Health priorities are changing. Although maternal and child mortality have rapidly declined, there is growing burden on account of non-communicable diseases and some infectious diseases. 2. Emergence of a robust health care industry estimated to be growing at double digit. 3. Growing incidences of catastrophic expenditure due to health care costs, which are presently estimated to be one of the major contributors to poverty. 4. A rising economic growth enables enhanced fiscal capacity. Therefore, a new health policy responsive to these contextual changes is required. The National Health Policy, 2017 seeks to reach everyone in a comprehensive integrated way to move towards wellness. It aims at achieving universal health coverage and delivering quality health care services to all at affordable cost.
