Part of the India Studies in Business and Economics series
Hardback
Description
This book addresses major aspects of inequity, such as access, financing, financial risk protection, gender, service delivery and utilization, in the healthcare sector in India,.
Further, it discusses various measures for defining inequity in each of these aspects, and employs different indices for each dimension of inequity, which include financing, utilization, region, health outcomes, caste and class, and gender.
The book covers both theoretical and empirical issues, examining fifteen major Indian States, as well as selected case studies at the district level.
Combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book provides an overall view of the outcomes attributable to both economic development and policy changes per se.
While providing essential data and insights for policymakers and researchers alike, the book also outlines further feasible policy changes that could potentially mitigate the current inequities in Indian healthcare.
As such, it offers a valuable resource forupper graduate-level students in health economics, as well as for researchers and policymakers.
