Explanation:
Equal access to essential health, clean water and sanitation services continue to be a priority for India, which houses one-sixth of the world’s population. India has already made remarkable strides in the eradication of polio and the elimination of neonatal tetanus. Further, the progress on key health indicators such as infant and maternal mortality rates, as well as the reduction in the incidence of HIV, TB and malaria, helped India meet the Millennium Development Goals on health (MDGs 4, 5 and 6).
Life expectancy at birth has doubled since independence, from 33 years in 1947 to 68 years in 2011. The issues of health and well-being are closely related to that of an adequate water supply and functional sanitation systems. India is focused on ensuring access to water and sanitation services to all.
