Abstract
In this chapter we discuss aggregate all-India and state-level data. We provide a synoptic view of state-level scenario for sixteen major Indian states. We discuss the situation in regard to budgetary expenditure on health care on its various components including primary, secondary and tertiary care. We use National Sample Survey latest round data to discuss utilization pattern across states in India. We highlight dimensions of inequity through various socio-economic classifications and different inequity measures.
