, , India Lowest Public Health Spending
India released National Health Profile-2019 (NHP-2019) on Wednesday, and, at 1.28% of the GDP (2017-18 Budget Estimate), the countrys public expenditure on health continues to remain the lowest globally, making it seem like an uphill task to meet the target of 2.5% of the GDP by 2025 that the government is aiming at.
The comparative data from 2016 mentioned in the NHP shows among the 10 South East Asia Region countries, India, at 0.93% of the GDP, was above only Bangladesh at 0.42%.
Indias neighbours, such as Sri Lanka (1.68%), Indonesia (1.40%), Nepal (1.17%) and Myanmar (1.02%) are spending far more than India on healthcare, which could have an impact on its efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
Per capita public expenditure on health in nominal terms has gone up from 621 in 2009-10 to 1,657 in 2017-18. The Centre:State share in total public expenditure on health was 37:63 in 2017-18.
