Is Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Down?

  If you're experiencing issues with Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, try these troubleshooting steps:

  Basic Steps

• 1. Refresh the page and check your internet connection. The MOHFW website hosts large PDFs, circulars, and data dashboards. A slow or unstable connection can cause partial loading or timeouts. Try a wired connection or switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data.
• 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies. Since MOHFW frequently updates health advisories, old cached versions of CSS or JavaScript can conflict with new content. Clear cache for mohfw.gov.in specifically, then reload.
• 3. Try a different browser or use an incognito/private window. Browser extensions (ad-blockers, privacy tools) often block scripts used by the site's COVID-19 dashboards or interactive maps. Test in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox with extensions disabled.
• 4. Restart your router or modem. The portal serves high traffic during health emergencies. A simple network reset can resolve DNS or throttling issues causing a "connection reset" error.
• 5. Check if only specific sections fail. If the main page loads but PDFs or data tables don't, your browser may lack a PDF viewer or a plugin. Try downloading the file instead of opening it inline.

  Intermediate Steps

• 1. Verify the official service status via mobile app (if you use it). MOHFW's primary web portal is government-hosted and sometimes undergoes scheduled maintenance on weekends or before major health campaign launches. If the website is down but the Aarogya Setu app or CoWIN platform works, it confirms a portal-specific outage.
• 2. Flush your DNS cache. Often, the MOHFW site's IP changes after server-side updates. Run ipconfig /flushdns (Windows) or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache (macOS). Then restart your browser.
• 3. Disable IPv6 temporarily. Some ISP configurations fail to route IPv6 traffic to government web servers. In your network settings, switch to IPv4-only and retry. This resolves many "ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE" errors.
• 4. Check for regional internet blocks or ISP throttling. The MOHFW domain occasionally gets rate-limited by ISPs during surges. Open a VPN (free trial) or access the site via a public DNS like Google (8.8.8.8). If it loads instantly, your ISP is the bottleneck.
