TRANSFORMING PUBLIC HEALTH IN INDIA: A REVIEW OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS ACROSS NATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMS
AbstractThe National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) has been a cornerstone of India’s comprehensive, technology-driven strategy to address non-communicable diseases, maternal health, and mental health since the country’s independence. Phase V of NACP (2021–2026) seeks to eradicate HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 through a rights-based, inclusive approach, and this overview looks at how the NACP has changed and what impact it has had on the country’s public health. The paper addresses the pathogenesis, transmission, and treatment of HIV, highlighting India’s considerable epidemiological successes: a 49% reduction in new infections and an 80% fall in AIDS-related deaths between 2010 and 2026. Key to these breakthroughs is the merging of modern medical and digital advancements, including: Medical Breakthroughs: The creation of low-cost, generic versions of long-acting injectables like Lecavalier for pre-exposure prophylaxis (Prep). Digital Transformation: The implementation of the Strategic Information Management System (SIMS) for real-time tracking and the spread of telemedicine for antiretroviral medication (ART) delivery.
