1) ‘HEALTHY STATES, PROGRESSIVE INDIA’ – A REPORT BY NITI AAYOG
Introduction
It is a comprehensive health index report which ranks states and UTs innovatively on their year on year incremental change in health outcomes, as well as their overall performance with each other.
The report has been prepared by NITI Aayog with technical assistance from WB, and consultation with MoH&FW.
States and UTs have been ranked in 3 categories namely Larger states, smaller states, and Union Territories (UTs) to ensure comparison among similar entities.
The health index is a weighted composite index based on 24 indicators grouped under three domains, with each domain assigned weights based on its importance and higher scores for outcome indicators.
Health Outcomes (70%);
Governance and Information (12%);
Key inputs and processes (18%),
Significance – An annual systematic tool; regular assessment of health sector; nudge badly performing states to do well; helps to move towards SDG goals.
