Healthcare workers at field level constitute a major pillar in the large public health infrastructure of India. At this juncture, it becomes necessary to understand their role in achieving MDGs, issues, and challenges on the field and how 'prepared' they are to embark upon the new responsibilities in the coming 15 years to achieve the SDGs. This will form a springboard for the next generation of healthcare providers to successfully achieve the SDGs.
