Abstract

This policy brief summarises key findings from a study on the establishment of a dedicated Public Health (PH) cadre in the North Eastern (NE) states of India, specifically Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Nagaland. The brief underscores the urgent need for a structured PH workforce to improve health outcomes and governance in these regions, which face significant geographical challenges and house 7.9% of India’s population
