Steps taken under Tribal Health Programme for Tribal Population

• Tribal Health is a sub-focus area under the National Health Mission (NHM) of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), layered with the National Sickle Cell Anaemia Elimination Mission (NSCAEM) and PM-JANMAN for PVTGs.
• NHM offers relaxed population/staffing norms in tribal, hilly and hard-to-reach areas to push last-mile healthcare via SHCs, PHCs, CHCs, MMUs and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs).
• Examinable for GS-II (Health, Vulnerable Sections) and GS-I (Tribal society).
