Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper provides an in-depth review of Maharashtra’s health infrastructure and public health initiatives based on the Economic Survey of Maharashtra 2023-24. With a mission to enhance healthcare access, reduce disease burdens, and promote the welfare of women and children, Maharashtra has adopted a multi-tiered healthcare infrastructure supported by various state and national health schemes. The paper explores initiatives ranging from primary health facilities and emergency services to specialize maternal and child health programs, disease surveillance efforts, and health insurance schemes. The findings reveal substantial progress in health access, disease control, and maternal health indicators while also identifying critical gaps, especially in rural and marginalized communities. Recommendations for policy adjustments emphasize infrastructure enhancement, equitable distribution of health resources, and sustained efforts toward preventive healthcare. This paper concludes with a discussion of future directions, aiming to support Maharashtra’s path to achieving Sustainable Development Goals in public health.
