Summary

Recently, the Ministry of Health released the findings of the latest National Family Health Survey, the country's largest health survey. The survey significantly helps us understand what indicators related to issues like hypertension, obesity, cancer, women's and children's health reveal about the country's health. While the survey points to significant gains across several health indicators, it also leaves out some crucial statistics that have raised concerns among public health experts. In today's episode, we will be decoding the survey with The Indian Express' Anonna Dutt, who will share deeper insights into the improvements, the missing elements, and health issues that still remain pertinent among the Indian population. Hosted by Shashank Bhargava and Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
