Even though the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), launched by the Government of India in 2005, has made significant progress in the health-care infrastructure of the country, the improvement has been quite uneven across regions, especially in the north-east, with large-scale rural-urban variations and limited accessibility to health-care services in rural areas. In this context, this paper critically examines and evaluates the current status of public health infrastructure in the rural areas of the northeastern region of India.
