OF ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES
The Second Long Term Health Plan indicated that priority be
given to health promotion and prevention activities based
on Primary Health Care principles. It identified Essential
Health Care Services (EHCS) that address the most essential
health needs of the population and that are highly cost-effective.
EHCS are priority public health measures and are essential
clinical and curative services for the appropriate treatment
of common diseases. The EHCS for Ayurveda and other traditional
systems of medicines are defined separately.
