The document summarizes the aims, priorities, and key developments of India's national health policies across 10 Five-Year Plans from 1950 to 2017. The Plans focused on establishing primary health centers and rural health services, controlling communicable diseases, family planning, immunization programs, and improving maternal and child health. Over time, priorities shifted to expanding access to healthcare, integrating health services, increasing quality of care, and reducing infant and maternal mortality rates. The most recent Plans also emphasize improving health infrastructure, reducing malnutrition, and establishing e-health services.
