Further, it discusses various measures for defining inequity in each of these aspects, and employs different indices for each dimension of inequity, which include financing, utilization, region, health outcomes, caste and class, and gender. The book covers both theoretical and empirical issues, examining fifteen major Indian States, as well as selected case studies at the district level. Combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book provides an overall view of the outcomes attributable to both economic development and policy changes per se. While providing essential data and insights for policymakers and researchers alike, the book also outlines further feasible policy changes that could potentially mitigate the current inequities in Indian healthcare. As such, it offers a valuable resource for upper graduate-level students in health economics, as well as for researchers and policymakers. 000799911 650_0 $$aMedical care$$zIndia. 000799911 650_0 $$aEquality$$zIndia. 000799911 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789811050435$$z9811050430$$w(OCoLC)985081333 000799911 830_0 $$aIndia studies in business and economics. 000799911 852__ $$bebk 000799911 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-5044-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000799911 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:799911$$pGLOBAL_SET 000799911 980__ $$aEBOOK 000799911 980__ $$aBIB 000799911 982__ $$aEbook 000799911 983__ $$aOnline 000799911 994__ $$a92$$bISE
