Under NHM, support to States/UTs  is provided for five key programmatic  components:

(iii) Communicable Disease Control Programmes

(iv) Non-Communicable Diseases Control Programme interventions upto District Hospital level

(v)   Infrastructure Maintenance- to support salary of ANMs and LHVs etc.

The objectives of NHM are summarised as under:
                    i.            Reduction in child and maternal mortality
                  ii.            Prevention and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases, including locally endemic diseases.
                iii.            Access to integrated comprehensive primary health care.
                iv.            Population stabilisation, gender and demographic balance.
                  v.            Revitalize local health traditions & mainstream AYUSH.
                vi.            Universal access to public services for food and nutrition, sanitation and hygiene and universal access to public health care services with emphasis on services addressing women’s and children’s health and universal immunisation.
              vii.            Promotion of healthy life styles.
