Since NTP is integrated with GHS, any improvement in GHS is bound to improve NTP. Similarly, if GHS suffers from any inadequacy, it gets reflected in NTP. In other words, NTP will sink or sail with GHS. Thus, to achieve the objective of Health for All by 2000 A.D. through primary health care, the existing infrastructure for GHS should be strengthened as per the recommendations and utilised effectively. This becomes all the more compelling in view of the AIDS epidemic which is knocking at the doors of India.
