Inequalities in the Distribution of Primary Care Providers Comparing Measles and Healthcare Disparity among Urban and Rural Areas

Despite economic process and improved health outcomes over the past few decades, India still experiences striking urban rural health inequalities. According to the Census Of India, 27.8 of total population resides in Urban areas and henceforth 72.2 population resides in rural areas of the country. The aim of this study is to estimate trends in urban rural disparities in self care, outpatient, inpatient care utilization and measles vaccination. Complementing other papers in this Series, we argue for the application of certain principles in the pursuit of equity in health care in India. These are the adoption of equity metrics in monitoring, evaluation and strategic planning, investment in developing a rigorous knowledge base of health systems research development of more equity focused process of deliberative decision making in health reform, and redefinition of the precise responsibilities and accountabilities of key actors. The implementation of those principles, alongside strengthening of public health and first care services, provide an approach for ensuring more equitable health after India's population.
