Brookings India became the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP) on September 10, 2020. This work was done before the transition.
The Health Monitor brings together real-time data, research & powerful analytics of India’s healthcare sector on a common platform. It’s created using publicly available data from across all states & Union Territories. It enables researchers & policymakers to access, monitor and analyse real-time health measures at a highly disaggregated level. This Health Monitor is the brainchild of Shamika Ravi (Senior Fellow, Brookings India), Mudit Kapoor (Indian Statistical Institute) and a team of research and administrative collaborators from across the country. The detailed methodology outlining variables and computation is explained here. Download the NFHS-4 data here.
