I of ‘Illness’ proposed to be replaced with We to make it ‘Wellness’ care system.
This has been proposed through change in the approach to service delivery from routine curative care to more of community engagement and other cadre of providers. The traditional health systems are also being mainstreamed in health services and includes, regular Yoga sessions and Health promotion activities at AB-HWCs; Awareness on ‘Eat Right India’ and promotion of ‘Fit India initiatives’ [36, 37]; provision of Food adulteration detection kits at PHCs; Nutritional counseling at AB-HWCs using the provisions of POSHAN Abhiyan under Ministry of Women & Child Development; Preventive and Promotive Healthcare Services involving Behavior change communication through Self Help Groups, youth and other organized groups, School Health Ambassadors, Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committees (VHSNCs), Panchayati raj Institutions (PRIs) and urban local bodies (ULBs), etc. All these are further expected to bring focus on wellness in health services. This is also aligned to seven components of Swasth Nagrik Abhiyan as proposed in NHP 2017.
