Falling Sick, Paying the Price: NSS 71st Round on Morbidity and Costs of Healthcare -T Sundararaman and VR Muraleedharan

-Economic and Political Weekly

The decennial National Sample Survey on health and education provides useful information on the health and education of the population. The summary report on health from the 71st round conducted in 2014 allows us to make an initial assessment of three sets of issues. One, the trends in morbidity rates and patterns of morbidity, two, the effectiveness of the public sector in ensuring access to healthcare, and three, the cost of healthcare across public and private sectors.

T Sundararaman (sundararaman.t@gmail.com) teaches at the School of Health Systems Studies, TISS, Mumbai and V R Muraleedharan at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Centre for Technology and Policy, IIT (Madras), Chennai.
