This comprehensive book delves into the progress of maternal and child health (MCH) in empowered action group states in India, as part of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3. It uncovers regional disparities and sheds light on a multitude of issues surrounding inequalities in access to MCH services, the complex dynamics behind poor nutrition, health expenditure, and impoverishment, as well as the structural bottlenecks within the health system that hinder effective program implementation. The book also showcases best practices adopted to improve maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) indicators and outlines the necessary strategies for more informed policymaking.

The volume explores the shifting health and nutritional landscape of mothers, newborns, and children, comparing the pre- and post-National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) periods. It delves into reproductive health and well-being, examining the interconnections between food, nutrition, and health. Furthermore, it investigates the underlying factors contributing to poor health and nutrition, shedding light on health expenditure, its impact on access to maternal and child healthcare services, and its implications for overall well-being.

The book proposes strategic interventions to reduce maternal, neonatal, and child mortality rates and improve nutritional status. It is of immense interest to scholars and researchers in public health, particularly those specializing in maternal and child health, gender studies, development studies, and public policy. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the MCH landscape in India, this book contributes to our understanding of the challenges and opportunities for improving health outcomes for women and children in the country.
