National
Health Committee (NHC)
The National Health Committee (NHC) was formed as part of the policy reforms
introduced in 1990. The NHC was reorganized on February 12, 1998 and the
members of the committee was increased to 16 members. It is a high level
inter-ministerial and policy making body concerning Health matters. The
National health Committee takes the leadership role and gives guidance in
implementing the health programmes systematically and efficiently. The high
level policy making body is instrumental in providing the mechanism for
intersectoral collaboration and co-ordination. It also provides guidance and
direction for all health activities.
Under the guidance of the National Health Committee various health committees
had been formed at each administrative level.
For the monitoring and evaluation purpose, National Health Plan Monitoring
and Evaluation Committee were formed at the central level.
Built-in monitoring and evaluation process is undertaken at State/Division
and Township level on regular basis. Implementation of National Health Plan
at various levels is carried out in collaboration and co-operation with
health related sectors and NGOs. |
