Title

Distribution and Status of Health Care Facilities in Bihar

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss about distribution of health care facilities in Bihar. For this purpose we use data from the 2011 census. This paper also highlights the inequality in the availability of health care facilities in public and private across villages in Bihar. The data available through the 2011 population census suggest that the total number of health care facilities in the rural areas of the state is higher than the total number of inhabited villages in the state but the available health care facilities are concentrated in selected villages only so that there is no health care facility of any type in almost two-third villages of the state. This means that a high degree of the spatial inequality in the distribution of the health care facilities across villages of the state is largely because of the concentration of health care facilities in selected villages and not because of the lack of the availability of health care facilities. The analysis calls for a spatial approach, especially for establishing public health care facilities to reduce the observed spatial inequality in the availability of health care facilities across villages. It must be ensured that more than one public health facilities are established in any village of the state. The analysis suggests that if it can be ensured that there is only one public health care facility in one village, then the spatial inequality in the distribution of health care facilities across villages can be reduced substantially. At the same time, regulating the establishment of the private health care facilities in the rural areas may lead to a drastic reduction in the spatial inequality in the availability of health care facilities across villages.
