Ongoing development includes 74 projects funded by the state budget and 390 projects under the National Health Mission.
Significant progress is also noted in reproductive health, with the total fertility rate declining to 1.9. Institutional deliveries have reached an impressive 98.8%, indicating improved access to safe childbirth services.
