Universal healthcare coverage and an end to child stunting and malnutrition
“The state will achieve universal coverage for healthcare and eliminate stunting and malnutrition among children.”
The verdict
No stunting or malnutrition data after NFHS-5 (2019-21) was found for Goa. DDSSY, the state health insurance scheme, enrolled 1.81 lakh families (6.6 lakh people) in 2025-26, which falls short of universal coverage for a state of about 16 lakh. That population figure is not sourced here. Unrated.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
