Government health spending per person, NHA 2022-23
Government agencies spend Rs 5,913 per person on health in Himachal Pradesh, Rs 3,916 in Jammu and Kashmir and Rs 3,592 in Kerala, against Rs 1,056 in Bihar, Rs 1,419 in Uttar Pradesh and Rs 1,536 in Jharkhand. Only 21 states are covered.
Policy implication
The figure counts spending by the Union, state and local governments inside the state, so it includes central schemes and is not what the state government alone spends. Three of the four highest are hill states (Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand). The 21 states are those for which the estimate can be made; small states, union territories and most of the north-east are not covered.
