Explanation

RMNCH+A stands for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent health — representing a comprehensive lifecycle approach from preconception through adolescence. The '+A' was added in 2013 to include adolescents (10–19 years) after evidence showed that addressing adolescent health improves maternal and child outcomes. It is implemented under the National Health Mission (NHM).
