The information collected through NFHS-5 is intended to assist policymakers and programme managers in setting benchmarks and examining progress over time in India’s health sector. The provisional results of key indicators from NFHS-5 were released in the form of national/state/district level fact sheets. Subsequently, state and national reports were prepared containing detailed tables and appendix tables. The estimates presented in the NFHS-5 national report may be considered as final. The NFHS-5 datasets are also available in the public domain and are shared with users on request.
