About NHM

The National Health Mission was initiated in 2005 by the Indian government under PM Manmohan Singh. The National Health Mission was first meant for rural areas to fulfill the health requirements of underprivileged people living in rural areas. The scheme of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was first started in 18 states, which are indicated as states with low public health. In 2013, another program named National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) was formed to extend the health needs of urban area people. The National Health Mission was established as supreme over the two sub missions NRHM and NUHM.
