Sanjay Mohanty, professor of population health at International Institute of Population Sciences, says steady fall in total health spending in proportion to GDP is 'worrying'

India’s per capita healthcare expenditure at constant prices has remained near-stagnant despite increases in government spending and decreases in household spending on healthcare over a six-year period, the latest national health accounts report has shown.

India’s per capita total healthcare expenditure has changed little over that period, rising from Rs 3,174 in 2013-14 to Rs 3,503 in 2016-17 and declining to Rs 3,314 in 2018-19. The total healthcare expenditure in terms of GDP declined from 4 per cent in 2013-14 to 3.2 per cent in 2018-19, shows the report released by the Union health ministry on Monday.

The report says the government’s share of India’s total health expenditure increased to 40.6 per cent in 2018-19 from 28.6 per cent in 2013-14. Its share of per capita health expenditure rose from Rs 1,042 to Rs 1,815.

“At constant prices, the country’s per capita healthcare expenditure is nearly the same, actually lower,” said Indrani Gupta, professor and specialist in health economics at the Institute of Economic Growth, New Delhi.
