Keywords:
Health spending per capita, Life expectancy, DPT immunization, Fertility rate, Nourishment, IndiaAbstract
The paper examines the associations between critical health outcomes and health spending per capita in India concerning life expectancy, DPT immunization coverage, fertility rate, and Nourishment between 2016-17 and 2021-22. The research uses correlational analysis to explain the effects of financial investment on health through secondary data from authoritative sources in the country. The results indicate a strong positive relationship between per capita health spending and both life expectancy and immunization coverage, emphasizing the need to sustain healthcare funding to improve longevity and preventive care. The correlation between health expenditure and fertility rate shows a moderate negative relationship, reflecting the impact of health investments on population and reproductive health. Interestingly, a positive correlation was found between health spending and Nourishment. These findings highlight the complexity of health financing and emphasize the need for more comprehensive social policies to address it. The study provides evidence on how policy can be used to allocate health spending effectively, aiming for equitable health gains and sustainable development in India.
