AB-HWC could, arguably, be termed as the second wave of PHC reforms in India after NRHM in 2005. There is a higher likelihood of success of this initiative than all the earlier initiative, due to many factors. The most important being that AB-HWCs start on an advantage of already strengthened and existing PHC system through NHM between 2005 and 2018. The other factors being the ongoing attention on advancing UHC; states showing increasing and more than ever interest in improving PHC services through their own mechanism and increasing civil society participation and engagement in health [45].
