Tribal health in Indian context – Need for an extensive policy

The degree of health in a community is a crucial determinant of its well-being. Health is one of the most significant aspects of human growth and development. The world's second-largest tribal population resides in India. One of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups is the tribal population. Due to their vulnerability and lack, tribal groups have many difficulties in many different areas, and health is one of the main issues that makes these problems worse. For some time, tribal health has been a topic of continuous debate and thought. The tribal community, which has long been naive and irresponsible, is one of the most neglected and vulnerable groups in the country. Its socioeconomic level, low health, and unhygienic environments make it more vulnerable to disaster and change. This study aims to raise awareness of the various facets of tribal health and the medical resources available in the country's tribal populations. This article also attempts to explain the need for a comprehensive health policy to address the health requirements of the country's indigenous population. It is believed that a comprehensive national health program is required to reduce health problems among the tribal population. To address the country's health issues and its correlations, a comprehensive national policy on tribal health is desperately needed.
