Which of the following is a key objective of the National Health Mission (NHM)?
Child mortality reduction
The National Health Mission (NHM), launched in 2013 by merging the National Rural Health Mission (2005) and the National Urban Health Mission, aims at universal access to equitable, affordable and quality health care.
Its key goals include reducing the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and the Total Fertility Rate, and improving reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCH+A) through programmes like Janani Suraksha Yojana and immunisation.
Industrial growth, space exploration and wildlife protection belong to other ministries and missions and are not NHM objectives.
Hence, a key objective of NHM is child mortality reduction.
