This exhaustive report by the Expert Committee on Tribal Health was formulated to provide health statistics and data on the tribal population of India separate from its rural population. Penned by several prominent academicians and policymakers, it sets out to document the current unmet healthcare needs of the ST community with the end goal of developing a national framework to improve access to quality healthcare in tribal populations. With its wide-arching scope, this single report tackles a number of statistics: from life expectancy and child mortality to malnutrition and mental health.
