Infant and Child Mortality in Telangana & Seemandhra: Status & Challenges, and Role of Policy Makers


Discussion in Progress

Undivided Andhra Pradesh has already been a model state in terms of commitments to child health issues, but there is a long way before they achieve the targets and the leadership in both states. Union and State Legislatures will play crucial roles in ensuring health services promised reach out to all.

To discuss the ways of improving child health indicators and to ensure health is at the top agenda of leadership in both States, understanding the crucial link between top leadership and the people, GPPI-CPR and GHS organized a roundtable in Hyderabad on 23 March 2015 on “Infant and Child Mortality in Telangana & Seemandhra: Status & Challenges, and Role of Policy Makers”. This was attended by several Andhra & Telangana MPs including Asaduddin Owaisi, Kothapalli Geetha and Midhun Reddy. Several MLAs also participated in the discussion. The roundtable was presided over by Kalvakuntla Kavitha (TRS).
