Kashmir Observer

APRIL 22, 2025 ISSUE

SRINAGAR: Jammu & Kashmir has emerged as a quiet success in India’s public health transformation, making notable progress in child health, gender equity, infrastructure and regulatory enforcement.

- Agencies

The recently released Annual Report 2024-25 of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare paints a promising picture of a region steadily climbing the ladder of healthcare development.

At the forefront is the UT's achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target for Under-5 Mortality Rate (U5MR), years ahead of the 2030 deadline, the report accessed reveals.

With a U5MR of 17 per 1,000 live births, Jammu & Kashmir is among the few regions in the country to meet this milestone early. The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) has dropped to 17, while the Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) stands at 12, and the Early Neonatal Mortality Rate (ENMR) at 8 — all pointing to improved maternal and child health-care services across the UT.
