Economic burden of infectious diseases and its equity implications in Indian households
Infectious diseases remain one of the major causes of health and economic burden for Indian households. Furthermore, the magnitude of economic losses on account of infectious disease episodes varies widely across rich and poor households. The primary objective of this research is to estimate the equity impact of infectious disease episodes on out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) and wage losses among Indian households. We analysed the Social Consumpt…
Did the poor gain from India’s health policy interventions? Evidence from benefit-incidence analysis, 2004–2018
Improvement in infrastructure and service provisioning through NHM route in the public facilities appears to have relatively benefited the poor. Yet they received a relatively smaller health subsidy than the rich when utilising inpatient and outpatient health services. Inequality continues to persist across all healthcare services in private health sector. Although the NHM remained committed to broader expansion of health care services, a singula…
Impact of India’s National Tobacco Control Programme on bidi and cigarette consumption
Our findings indicate that early implementation of the NTCP may not have produced reductions in tobacco use reflecting generally poor performance against the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control objectives in India. This study highlights the importance of strengthening the implementation and enforcement of tobacco control policies in LMICs to achieve national and international child health and premature NCD mortality reduction targets

Evidence for cost-effectiveness of lifestyle primary preventions for cardiovascular disease in the Asia-Pacific Region
The Economic impact of Non-communicable Diseases on households in India
BACKGROUND: In India, Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and injuries account for an estimated 62% of the total age-standardized burden of forgone Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). Public and private financing of clinical services to reduce the NCD burden is a major challenge. METHODS: We used National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) survey data from 1995-96 and 2004 covering nearly 200 thousand households to assess healthcare utilization p…
Who pays for health care in Asia?
Catastrophic payments for health care in Asia
Out‐of‐pocket (OOP) payments are the principal means of financing health care throughout much of Asia. We estimate the magnitude and distribution of OOP payments for health care in fourteen countries and territories accounting for 81% of the Asian population. We focus on payments that are catastrophic, in the sense of severely disrupting household living standards, and approximate such payments by those absorbing a large fraction of household res…
The Incidence of Public Spending on Healthcare
The article compares the incidence of public healthcare across 11 Asian countries and provinces, testing the dominance of healthcare concentration curves against an equal distribution and Lorenz curves and across countries. The analysis reveals that the distribution of public healthcare is prorich in most developing countries. That distribution is avoidable, but a propoor incidence is easier to realize at higher national incomes. The experiences …
