URBANIZATION AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN INDIA
Health, Urbanization, Health Expenditure
Most important objective of a welfare country is to provide better and reliable health care services to its people because healthy peoples are keys of development of a nation. A nation which cannot provide healthcare services to its citizens cannot be thought to be productive environment in the economy hence government are trying to justifying the importance of investing hugely on the health sector. In India health outcomes over the years have not been very impressive, justifying the need to establish the relationship between health inputs in which percentage of urban population from total population, current health expenditure in percentage of GDP and GDP Per Capita (in Dollar) and health outcomes. This study analyses the relationship between both variables over the period of 2000 to 2020 using econometric regression analysis and found out that a negative relationship exists percentage of urban population from total population on Infant Mortality Rate and positive relationship exists on Life Expectancy. It means by the urbanization infant mortality rate will be decrease and life expectancy will increase because the residents in the urban areas tend to adopt improved health practices, due to their increased knowledge of the benefits of better health conditions, as compared to their counterparts in the rural areas and this accounts for the difference between concentration of health care services which are more in the urban areas than in the rural areas.
