Health Statistics
Description:
Health module is presented in five major components namely, Demography, Health Status Indicators, Health Infrastructure, Human Resources in Health and Health Education Facilities. Data are culled out from two publications – National Health profile and Statistical Report of Sample Registration Survey (SRS). However, data on Health Finance are compiled from state finances published in RBI Bulletin.
National Health Profile was earlier published as “Health Information of India” from 1986 to 2004 and as “Health Statistics of India” prior to 1986. As the publication has undergone changes over the period, the data provided has also changed over period. Hence, data series pertaining to some variables was discrete and inconsistent. Such variables are highlighted in the respective sections.
While the National Health Profile is the major source of data, Statistical Report of SRS is primarily used for data on fertility and mortality indicators. SRS reports have been providing relatively consistent data over a period.
