Govt’s shrinking footprint in India’s healthcare

In major states like UP, Bihar, Rajasthan and MP, the government’s share in the total health expenditure continues to hover between 1.1-1.3% of gross state domestic product, despite a substantial increase in healthcare costs. Public health spending in Maharashtra stood at a mere 0.7% of GSDP in 2015-16, against a total health expenditure of almost Rs 57,000 crore.
