Essential Services List 2025 - Summary
Essential services are vital for the well-being of all communities, ensuring that everyone has access to necessary support. These services include reproductive, maternal, new-born, and child health, as well as the management and prevention of communicable diseases and care for chronic illnesses, especially during emergencies. While non-Covid services like health promotion activities, IEC campaigns, Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committee meetings, and community screenings for chronic conditions can be postponed, they will resume once the lockdown or restrictions are lifted.
Essential services also encompass important areas such as healthcare, police and fire services, banks, electricity, water and sanitation, and regulated public transport. These essential functions will continue to operate effectively, supporting our daily needs.
