Chapter Chapter 5 in Inequity in Indian Health Care, 2017, pp 71-148 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we focus on district-level data for five major Indian states which include poor and rich states across different geographical directions in India. The district-level data thus used include the states of Assam, Bihar, Orissa, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. We discuss various aspects of health care namely medical facilities, medical manpower, utilization, efficiency and equity. We use different inequity coefficients including Gini coefficients, Theils T and L measures, concentration curve, concentration index and Erryger’s index.
