Overview of  (Book name here)

According to CH. Sleevamma, “Health is not primarily a matter of doctors, social services, and hospitals. Health is a matter of social justice. There is no time to lose. We have the goal of “Health for all by the year 2000 AD”. This is the call of the world health organization. and India has risen to the challenge. Previously, health care was for those who lived close enough to a hospital or doctor in time of need and who could spend money on drugs and treatment.
The vast majority of people stayed in the village when they were sick and even today many suffer and die without adequate help. Attempts have been made to meet the health needs of the Indian population through primary health care centers and the training of auxiliary nurse midwives to go from these centers to the homes of the population. The number of ANMS trained was never enough and more than half of them after training went to work in hospitals. In fact, his training took place mainly in the hospital setting, with a degree of experience and understanding of the health needs of people, families, and communities in rural areas.
