According to the World Health Organization, Health is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity". Health is a dynamic condition that is influenced by complex interrelationships between individuals and biomedical and behavioural factors, as well as physical and social environments. Interrelationships are reflected in a social view of health that sees health as being created in the settings where people live and work. This social view of health recognizes the need for personal skills development, the importance of empowering communities to take action to promote health, the creation of social and physical environments that are supportive of health, an awareness of the impacts on health of public policies and the need for health services to be oriented towards health promotion and prevention of ill health India is increasingly recognized as a global power in key economic sectors. There have also been positive trends on certain social indicators, particularly those that respond to vertical, campaign-like approaches; the near eradication of polio; a significant increase in literacy rates; and the enrolment of both boys and girls in primary school. However, progress has been slow in areas requiring systemic changes, such as in the provision of good quality services (i.e. primary health care and community-based nutrition services). There has also been limited change in the practice of key behaviours related to child wellbeing, such as hand washing and exclusive breastfeeding. The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to spread and poses a significant threat. Issues related to child protection, including trafficking and child labour, are becoming more pronounced. Centrally-sponsored schemes have public resources to key sectors, notably the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in education (the national policy to universalize primary education),the Reproductive and child Health Programme II, the National Rural Health Mission and the Integrated Child Development Services. The challenge remains to convert these commitments and resources into measurable results for all children, especially to those belonging to socially disadvantaged and marginalized communities. The Morigaon district of Assam is one of the backward districts of Assam. It is adversely affected by flood almost every year. In this context this paper tries to examine the present status of health infrastructure in the district.
