Abstract
This study examines the collaborative efforts of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and government initiatives in enhancing women's health in India. Utilizing data from various national health surveys and reports, we assess the impact of these collaborations on key health indicators. Our analysis reveals that regions with active NGO participation alongside government programs exhibit improved maternal health outcomes, including higher rates of institutional deliveries and antenatal care coverage. A comparative analysis of states demonstrates that synergistic efforts lead to a significant reduction in maternal mortality rates. The findings underscore the importance of sustained partnerships between NGOs and government bodies to address persistent health disparities among women in India.
