Rural and Community Healthcare[edit | edit source]

Given Nagaland's rugged terrain and the dispersed nature of its settlements, there's a significant emphasis on community healthcare. Numerous Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs) dot the landscape of Nagaland, ensuring grassroots-level medical attention.

Challenges and Opportunities[edit | edit source]

While Nagaland has made strides in healthcare, ensuring adequate medical facilities in its remote and hilly regions remains a challenge. With the potential for medical tourism, given the state's unique biodiversity and traditional medicine practices, there's an opportunity to blend traditional and modern healthcare. Collaborative efforts between state initiatives and private entities could further bolster the healthcare scenario in Nagaland.
