Aspirants should be aware of public health policies relevant to UPSC preparation, including national schemes that address healthcare access, sanitation, and nutrition. Understanding programs like Ayushman Bharat or the National Health Mission allows candidates to analyze their impact on vulnerable populations and overall health outcomes. Familiarity with public health crises and responses, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can eventually enhance their analytical skills pertaining to crisis management and policy reform. This knowledge is essential for tackling questions on health-related governance in the exam.
