520 $aAn examination of the status of health indicates that India is doing well in some respects, but not so well compared to many other developing countries. Though mortality levels continue their long-term decline, they remain high, along with undernutrition. The problem is that health has been overlooked in the overall, larger development process. Health, Poverty and Development in India fills in this gap.
520 8 $aThe papers in this volume examine some of the health and development paradoxes in India. The first paper discusses the problem of objectivity in the measurement of health status. This is followed by a chapter on the results of the 1991 Census with special reference to the seeming declines in the rate of population growth and in sex ratio.
520 8 $aAccess to and utilization of health services vary from region to region, between rural and urban areas, and by socio-economic class, and several authors study these differences. Another important paper focuses on morbidity data and their relationship to the mortality rate, as also the effect that people's perceptions have on the demand for health services.
520 8 $aThe second part of the book includes studies on health services and health policies in India, including a chapter on health financing. These papers address some key questions: what priority does India give to health among its various development goals? How well are India's health systems - private and publicresponding to and anticipating its health transitions? And, most important, how can the accessibility, effectiveness and affordability of India's health care services be improved?
