It aims to promote an individual's overall health by addressing various factors relating to the body, mind, and social and environmental influences affecting health. Through the efforts of the government and the Hon'ble Chief Minister Dr.Pramod Sawant, Goa has established a solid foundation for holistic healthcare provisions. In Goa, holistic healthcare can be enhanced through a range of methods that combine traditional and modern practices, ensuring the safety and well-being of every resident. Below are some key initiatives that have led to improved healthcare facilities in the state.

Quality and Comprehensive Healthcare

Goa boasts a well-established range of healthcare facilities, but the primary necessity is the assurance of quality and comprehensive healthcare services. Over the years, Goa has prioritized the quality of healthcare, ensuring that patient safety is paramount across all regions. Initiatives under the National Rural Health Mission emphasize providing adequate and quality services to rural residents who might lack access to safe healthcare.

Another significant scheme is the Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), aimed at reducing ruinous health expenditure and ensuring quality healthcare is easily accessible to the common masses without the burden of exorbitant hospital bills. Goa is also engaging in comprehensive healthcare systems that offer inclusive services, including diagnostic care, preventative care, emergency services, and transportation facilities for patients.
