The document summarizes the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in India, which aimed to provide accessible, affordable and quality healthcare, especially to rural and vulnerable populations, from 2005-2012. Key aspects included decentralizing healthcare and increasing public health expenditure to 2-3% of GDP. Goals were to reduce infant and maternal mortality, and ensure access to primary healthcare through community health workers like ASHAs, improved infrastructure like 24/7 facilities, and intersectoral coordination between health, water, sanitation and nutrition initiatives. The document outlines the organizational structure, strategies and interventions of the NRHM at national, state, district and community levels.
