Report of the Health Survey and Development Committee 1946 Vol II Recommendations

Abstract

A study of Volume I of our report cannot fail to reveal the extent and intensity of the dark shadows in the health picture of the country. It is not for us to apportion responsibility for the sombre realities which face us today. It is with the future that we are concerned and if the picture is to be substantially altered for the better with the least possible delay, a nation-wide interest must be aroused and the irresistible forces of an awakened public opinion arrayed in the war against disease. Only a vivid realisation of the grievous handicap which is today retarding the country’s progress can help to mobilise an all-out effort in this campaign and infuse into it a driving force which will gather and not lose momentum as time goes on.
