Over the decades the district has adopted various structural and functional measures for the development of health sector. This has been reflected both in health programmes implemented and health infrastructure placed to deliver the services. Realizing the conditions and reasons for non delivery of the health services in interior tribal dominated pockets of the state, the state from time to time has adopted special programmes and approch towards the region and the people therein. The tribal people who live in these areas belong to different levels of development, which is reflected in their technology, knowledge, skill, access, affordability etc. Looking into the ground realities in tribal dominated pockets, the state reflects its approach by way of tapping resources from various agencies( what ever available), allowing and supporting NGOs to deliver their services(with little resources) and providing logistic support to the Health Department to deliver the services.
