Release of National Family Health Survey-6 Expected Soon

The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-6) has collected data from 679,238 households throughout all states and union territories of India. The survey, conducted between 2023 and 2024, aims to gather comprehensive information on various health and family welfare indicators.

NFHS data is vital for assessing population health, including maternal and child health, nutrition, and family planning. The findings from this round of the survey will provide crucial insights for policymakers and health professionals to shape strategies aimed at improving health outcomes across the country. The NFHS is conducted periodically, with previous rounds dating back to the mid-1990s, and is instrumental in tracking progress on national health goals and the impacts of various health programs over time.
