Introduction of Free Diagnostic schemes by Central government
2016
Under the National Health Mission (NHM), support is being provided to States/ UTs for strengthening of their healthcare systems including for Free Diagnostics Service Initiative, based on the proposals in their respective Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs). Guidelines on NHM Free Diagnostics Service Initiative have been shared with all States/ UTs.
The illustrative list of tests as per the said guidelines at various levels of public health facilities is given below.
