Abstract

The present paper attempts to provide an in-depth insight about the availability and disparity prevailing in health facilities such as availability of beds and doctors per 25000 of the population in different talukas of Thane district of Maharashtra during 2008-09 to 2018-19. The research reveals the presence of huge disparity concerning said infrastructural facilities in the district during the given period. The research analysis indicates that Ulhasnagar taluka in the district had the highest availability of hospital beds per 25000 of the population in government hospitals while Kalyan taluka witnessed the lowest availability. Talking about the doctors' availability in the district, Ulhasnagar and Murbad taluka noted the highest availability while Ambernath witnessed taluka's lowest availability during the study period. The present study is based on secondary data, collected through various published sources. The data has been analysed using simple statistical tools such as tables and graphs. The average has been calculated to rank the position of the taluka in the availability of selected health infrastructural facilities in the district.
