The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has launched the “Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) 2.0 Guidelines” under the National Health Mission (NHM). The guidelines were released during the 10th edition of the “National Summit on Good Practices and Innovations in Public Healthcare Service Delivery” in Chandigarh.
The revised framework expands the national child health screening and early intervention programme for children from birth to 18 years. RBSK 2.0 enhances the “4Ds” model—comprising Defects at Birth, Diseases, Deficiencies, and Developmental Delays—by integrating screening for mental health conditions and behavioural disorders.
