KERALA UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES The circular emblem of the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) in the yellow ochre and brown has a mother and child held by a supporting palm with a traditional lamp placed at the bottom and circumscribed by its name. These are supported by its motto in Sanskrit ‘सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः’ (2.35.51, Garuda Purana) meaning ‘May All be Prosperous, May All be free from infirmities’ and an open book symbolising education, knowledge and wisdom. The traditional lamp symbolises light, illumination, awakening, devotion, purity, guidance, protection, hope and prosperity and the palm holding the mother and child symbolises care, nourishment, support and protection.

NATIONAL HEALTH MISSION The National Health Mission (NHM) encompasses its two Sub-Missions, The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and The National Urban Health Mission (NUHM). The main programmatic components include health system strengthening, Reproductive-Maternal- Neonatal-Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) and communicable and non-communicable diseases. Its emblem is a pictorial with a red colour segment of an oval serving as a shelter, in which the icons of a family - a man, a girl child and a woman are shown. Above them a yellow sun is shining. The name of the mission is written above the oval in English and at the bottom in Devanagari.
