Committee Recommends Separate Tribal Health System to Address Maharashtra Disparities
A state-level committee in Maharashtra has recommended establishing a separate tribal health system to address persistent health disparities among tribal communities. The report highlights issues such as inadequate emergency care, poor immunisation coverage, anaemia linked to nutrition deficiencies, and weak follow-up of high-risk pregnancies. It proposes Health Action Centres for better patient tracking and calls for increasing health funding within the Tribal Sub-Plan from 3 crore to 1,100-1,500 crore annually. Access to sanitation remains low among tribal households, underscoring broader health challenges.
