The National Summit is a flagship initiative of the Ministry aimed at showcasing, recognising, and documenting innovative and impactful practices adopted by States and Union Territories (UTs) to address diverse public health challenges. It also serves as a platform for cross-learning and facilitates the replication of successful and scalable models across the country.

The annual Summit provides a valuable opportunity for States and UTs to present innovative, evidence-based, and outcome-oriented interventions in public healthcare service delivery and technological domains that have led to measurable improvements in health outcomes.

Since its inception in 2013, the initiative has brought together States and UTs to share experiences and innovations in public healthcare delivery. The 9th edition of the Summit was held in Puri from February 28 to March 1, 2025.
