National Healthcare Survey

Agency : Global Advisor Associated Services Pvt. Ltd.

Disease burden estimations based on sound epidemiological research provide the foundation for public policy. In the absence of any single reporting system, the estimates of the diseases are primarily drawn from public hospitals’ statistics, which leaves out those who prefer to go to any kind of private hospitals or prefer to ignore their treatment. In view of this, it was conceptualized to carry out a quick reference estimate of diseases’ burden both in urban and rural India. The survey was supported by Global Advisory & Associated Services Pvt. Ltd, Disease Management Association of India, Continua Health Alliance, USA, and HIMSS Asia Pacific India Chapter. Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur, was assigned to develop a survey design, field work, and datamanagement. The purpose of the study was to understand the disease load and disease distribution in urban and rural areas of India in order to identify causes of ill health that can be addressed through better planning and program management.

This was an explorative study based on primary data collected from the households in different parts of India. Considering the size of the country, Indiawas divided into twelve zones, and from each zone one statewas selected.
