Abstract
Haryana has been one of the prosperous states of India, but in the perspective of health facilities the regional disparity is more visible in Haryana. Therefore in this study an attempt has been made to understand the Population and health facilities ratio which is found in Haryana. The spatial unit of analysis to understand the Population and Health Facilities ratio has determined district. To understand the Health Facilities in Haryana some parameters have been determined which are number of person per Hospitals, number of person per PHC, number of person per CHC, number of person per Sub centres, number of person per Beds. In this study we have used secondary data which have been taken from the statistical abstract of Haryana (2011 & 2020) and Census of India. To understand the Population and Health Facilities ratio in Haryana, Choropleth maps are prepared by the help of QGIS. It has been found by this study that in 2011, the population burden on Hospitals in Bhiwani, Hisar, Rohtak and Ambala has been found to be less as compared to other districts. On the other hand, this ratio is seen more in Kaithal, Mewat, Palwal, Kurukshetra and Karnal. However, the number of hospitals in these districts has increased in 2020. Number of person per CHCs has decreased in 2020 as compared to 2011, the number of CHCs has increased in 2020. On the other hand, the population pressure is more in Panchkula, Gurgaon and Faridabad. If seen in PHC, population is found between 40000 to 55000 per PHC in most of the districts of Haryana. However, it does not reflect much better situation in Haryana. If we look at the population ratio in the sub-health centre in 2020, there is more pressure of population in Kaithal, Bhiwani, Jhajjar and Panipat and relatively less in Fatehabad. The ratio between number of person and per bed has been found to be higher in 2020 than in 2011. Except Bhiwani, Hisar, Jhajjar, Kaithal, Rewari, Ambala, Panchkula, Yamunanagar, other districts have high population pressure. Total Health facilities are relatively more than other, in the following districts which are Bhiwani, Hisar, Sonipat and Jind ect. Whereas in Rohtak, Karnal, Sirsa, Ambala, Gurgaon, Kaithal, Kurukshetra, Fatehabad, Mhendergarh, jhajjar have medium level of health facilities. On the other hand the level of health facilities have relatively less in Rewari, Palwal, Mewat, Panipat, Panchkula, Yumnanagar, Faridabad districts.
