KeralaHealth.com is created to provide information about Kerala Health, Medicine, Medical and Nursing Education in Kerala and outside Kerala.

Kerala has emerged as one of the most developed states of India in terms of Health Index. The state has become a role model for states not only in India but also for many developing or underdeveloped nations. The advantage that Kerala enjoys is the steps taken early in the last century towards better health. The Princely rulers made a humble beginning to provide infrastructural facilities for a primary health care system. Now, the awareness of general public about personal and civic health is high and this has resulted in greater availability and increased accessibility to different types of medicine and treatment. The active participation of the Private sector and the NGOs is essential to sustain these levels.

The level of achievements attained in the implementation of the various national programmes for control / eradication of diseases, family welfare programme, universal immunization programme and maternal and child health activities has helped the state to reduce the mortality rates and increase the life expectancy and generally improve health status of the people.

A brief note on the various programmes implemented in the state is given in this profile. The stages at which they are implemented and the progress made under each may be helpful for persons involved in 'Health', for planning for their own states as well as the country so also to the general public. It is hoped that this would enable them to compare the health standards with those of their own states and other parts of the world.
