The Governor noted with pride that Mizoram is among the states with the lowest Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in India, at 13 per 1,000 live births, reflecting the state’s advancements in maternal and child healthcare. He mentioned that Mizoram’s healthcare system is supported by approximately 100 doctors and a significant number of nurses annually, making it a key contributor to the state’s healthcare progress. Hghlighting about the ongoing challenges such as HIV/AIDS, drug abuse and malaria, as well as the increasing prevalence of cancer and respiratory diseases linked to tobacco use and related factors, he urged collective action from all sections of society to address these issues effectively. The Governor also emphasized the importance of implementing government health schemes efficiently and continuing the commendable efforts of the Health & Family Welfare Department.
Health & Family Welfare Minister Pi Lalrinpuii expressed gratitude for the opportunity to launch the Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar (Healthy Woman, Empowered Family) and 8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah (National Nutrition Month) campaigns, which aim to enhance the health of women and children across Mizoram. She emphasized that women, when empowered with determination and support, can achieve significant milestones, contributing to stronger families and communities. The Minister urged healthcare workers to serve with dedication throughout the campaign period and called for widespread participation to ensure its success. She also appealed for collaborative efforts from Village Councils, Local Councils, NGOs, and churches to maximize the campaigns’ impact and effectiveness.
The Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar campaign aims to promote family health, starting with the well-being of the mother. From September 17 to October 2, 2025, various activities will be conducted across hospitals, Health & Wellness Centres, and Health Sub-Centres, including health camps and check-ups. The campaign will facilitate enrollment in schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), and Nikshay Mitra, alongside the creation of Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) IDs. Other noted activities include child vaccinations, screenings for hypertension, diabetes, breast cancer, anemia, and tuberculosis, as well as awareness programs on AYUSH, oral health, and blood donation camps.
