2. Measures taken to provide efficient and reliable health insurance services to every citizen.
3. Availability of age appropriate sex education programs to tackle the issue of high numbers of
unsafe abortions and rising infanticide.
4. System established to monitor and assess the vaccination situation and keep records of vaccine
coverage.
