Despite phenomenal economic growth over the last two decades, India has done lesser than expected to improve the health-care sector.Even though the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), launched by the health-care infrastructure of the country, the improvement has been quite uneven across regions, especially in the north-east, with largescale rural-urban variations and limited accessibility to health-care services in rural areas.In this context, this paper critically examines and evaluates the current status of public health infrastructure in the rural areas of the northeastern region of India.
