Per Capita Expenditure on Health |
As per the 12th Five Year Plan document of Planning Commission, the
projections for the Twelfth Plan envisage increasing total public
funding by the Centre and States, plan and non-plan, on core health from
1.04 per- cent of GDP in 2011-12 to 1.87 per cent of GDP by the end of
the Twelfth Plan. When viewed in the perspective of the broader health
sector, the total Government expenditure as a proportion of GDP in the
Twelfth Plan is likely to increase from 1.94 per cent of GDP in the last
year of the Eleventh Plan to 3.04 per cent in the corresponding year of
the Twelfth Plan. The Plan envisages substantial expansion and
strengthening of the public health systems both in rural and urban
areas, with robust provision of primary health care. Other focus areas
include strengthening human resources in health, regulation in drugs
and food system and developing Health information system. According to World Health Statistics 2012 published by World Health Organisation (WHO), the per capita total expenditure on health in 2009, for India is US$ 44 (at average exchange rate) as compared to total expenditure on health in respect of some select developing countries e.g. China : US$191, Bangladesh : US$ 21, Indonesia : US$ 56, Kenya : US$ 36, Pakistan : US$ 20 and Philippines : US $ 66. The above information was given by the Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today. |
