Exploring spatial clusters of caesarean sections across India - Insights from National Family Health Survey data
The rising prevalence of caesarean sections (C-sections) in India, surpassing the World Health Organization’s recommended rate of 10–15%, has become a significant public health concern. This study aims to analyze the patterns and spatial clustering of C-sections across India’s states and districts, utilizing data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4 and NFHS-5).

Traditional Healing and Health Care Practices Among Tribal Healers in India
Tracing the Disparity Between Healthcare Policy–Based Infrastructure and Health Belief–Lead Practices

This narrative review aimed to identify the disparities in the implementation of healthcare services and in accessing and availing these services by the indigenous population in India. We also have tried to throw light on the plausibility in strengthening the efficiency and efficacy of the public health system, by utilizing the avail…
Alarming level of severe acute malnutrition in Indian districts
Over the last two decades, severe acute malnutrition (SAM) has been increasing in India despite favourable national-level economic growth. The latest round of the National Family Health Survey 5 (NFHS-5) results was released, allowing us to assess changes in the malnutrition trends. Analysis of the previous rounds of the NFHS (NFHS-4) has already shown disturbing levels of wasting, often co-occurring with other forms of anthropometric failures. T…
Quality of medical prescriptions in diabetes and hypertension management in Kerala and its associated factors
In the context of rising prevalence of NCDs and the challenges in the secondary prevention efforts, this is one of the first studies in Kerala to evaluate the quality of prescriptions to manage NCDs as prescriptions often reflect the quality of medical management. The study also addresses other factors associated with quality medical management. The findings indicate that the scope for improvement is more than 50%, when considered for the overall…
Wealth and cardiovascular health
Inequality in hypertension management outcomes decreased as countries became richer, but the considerable variation in patterns of wealth-related inequality - even among countries at similar levels of economic development - underscores the importance of health systems in improving hypertension management for all. These findings show that some, but not all, countries, including those with limited resources, have been able to achieve more equitable…
