About

Where health services fall short.

The project

Whitespace India Health is a planned index of gaps in public health services across Indian districts. It will score each district on access to health facilities, on health outcomes and on the adequacy of its infrastructure, using government data from the National Health Mission, the Sample Registration System and Rural Health Statistics. Until that data is in place, these pages run on placeholder figures.

The aim is to find the districts where health work would do the most good, with a score that anyone can reproduce from public records.

Planned sources
  • National Health Mission (NHM) district health reports
  • Sample Registration System (SRS) Bulletins: infant and maternal mortality (IMR, MMR)
  • Rural Health Statistics 2021-22: coverage by PHCs, CHCs and district hospitals
  • Census of India 2011: district populations
