Delhi Health Report: Delhi government has recently released a report. The name of this report is “Delhi State Indicator Framework: Status Report 2025”, which has been prepared by the government to monitor Delhi’s progress till the year 2030 towards the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The aim of the government is that with the help of this report the policy makers can know in which areas there has been improvement and where work still needs to be done.

Mortality rate of newborns decreased, that of mothers increased

According to the report, there has been an improvement in the neonatal mortality rate in Delhi. In 2015, the neonatal mortality rate in Delhi was 15.8 per 1000 children, which has come down to 14.1 in 2024. However, on the other hand, the maternal mortality rate figures are worrying. In the year 2015, there were 37 women deaths for every one lakh live births, which has now increased to 44. This increase has happened when the number of women giving birth under the supervision of doctors in hospitals and health centers has increased from 84.4 percent in 2015 to 96.1 percent in 2024.

Apart from health, the report also talks about improvements in the fields of education, poverty and employment. Electricity and digital facilities have now reached almost all the schools in Delhi, while the number of students taking admission in higher education has also increased. However, data related to child nutrition has been mixed, because the long-standing problem of malnutrition has reduced, but there has been no significant change in the number of underweight children.

Improvement on environmental front also

Delhi has also done some good work in the field of environment. For example, waste management has improved and now more waste is being disposed of properly than ever before. Besides, air pollution has also reduced slightly as compared to ten years ago, although it still remains much higher than the prescribed standards. Along with this, the number of electric vehicles in Delhi has also increased rapidly, which was only 24 thousand 420 in 2015-16 and has now increased to more than 4 lakh in 2024-25. An official said that overall Delhi has made good progress in many social and environmental areas, but maternal and neonatal mortality figures show that the health of mothers and children still needs more attention.
