Abstract

This policy brief highlights the key role that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) can play as the nodal ministry in spearheading the national response to addressing Vitamin D deficiency and collaborating with other key ministries and departments to implement a unified and effective action plan which can lead to “Vitamin D Kuposhan Mukt Bharat”. The recommendations range from launching a nationwide awareness campaign, creating a multi-stakeholder platform to align ongoing efforts, including Vitamin D into existing healthcare programmes, leveraging national survey data for targeted interventions, and setting uniform guidelines for the testing and treatment for Vitamin D deficiency in India.
