The book intends to draw the attention of policy makers, researchers and critics with regard to the achievement of the country in terms of the Health Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The MDGs assume strategic importance for governments and development agencies as they provide a renewed focus and a way forward for the global development agenda.

However, it is interesting to note that the initiation and achievements of Empowered Action Group (EAG) states have been better in terms of cetrain key indicators compared to non-EAG states
