What is the primary focus of the Samagra Shishu Bal Swasthya Karyakram (SSBSK) launched by the Government in 2026?
Providing unified child healthcare from birth to 36 months
The Samagra Shishu Bal Swasthya Karyakram (SSBSK), literally the "Comprehensive Child Health Programme", was launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in 2026 by merging existing Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH+N) initiatives.
It aims to provide a single, unified continuum of child healthcare – immunisation, growth monitoring, screening for birth defects, deficiencies, diseases and developmental delays – from birth up to 36 months of age at Anganwadi centres, sub-centres and Health & Wellness Centres.
Free education is covered by the Right to Education Act, adolescent nutrition by SAG/Poshan Abhiyaan, and maternal health subsidies by schemes such as PMMVY and JSY – none of these is the primary focus of SSBSK.
Hence, the answer is providing unified child healthcare from birth to 36 months.
