Abstract: This policy brief highlights the key role that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) can play as the nodal ministry in spearheading the national response to addressing Vitamin D deficiency and collaborating with other key ministries and departments to implement a unified and effective action plan which can lead to “Vitamin D Kuposhan Mukt Bharat”. The recommendations range from launching a nationwide awareness campaign, creating a multi-stakeholder platform to align ongoing efforts, including Vitamin D into existing healthcare programmes, leveraging national survey data for targeted interventions, and setting uniform guidelines for the testing and treatment for Vitamin D deficiency in India.
