Message
It gives me immense pleasure to know that Central Bureau of Health Intelligence
(CBHI) is releasing annual publication titled“
National Health Profile 2018
”. The publication
provides vital information on all major health sector related indicators viz. demographic,
socio-economic, health status, health finance, health infrastructure and human resources
for the specified calendar year in a comprehensive manner. In addition, it also gives an
insight into the work of CBHI and its collaboration with World Health Organization for
implementation of Family of International Classifications (ICD-10 & ICF) in India.
It is worth mentioning here that updated health information is essential for policy
planning & decision making and supplements in effective implementation and monitoring
of various schemes. I am sure that the publication would be extremely useful for various
stakeholders engaged in different areas of the health sector development in India.
I take this opportunity to applaud all contributors involved, especially the teamof CBHI
for their sincere efforts in compiling this publication.
