Speaking after presenting the report to the Prime Minister, the Union Health & Family Welfare Minister acknowledged the able and enlightened leadership of the Prime Minister in evolving the National Rural Health Mission to realize the commitment enshrined in the National Common Minimum Programme for improved public services. �The Mission is also the blue print for a comprehensive restructuring of the current health care strategy�, he said. The Minister hoped that with commitment and resolve and with your guidance we would definitely achieve the goals visualized in the Mission of providing quality health care to the vast rural population of India and make �every mother and child count�.
