Economic & Political WeeklySummary: India’s National Health Accounts show a declining trend in out-of-pocket expenditure as a proportion of the total health expenditure. A decline in OOPE, if materialised, is a positive development. However, it is prudent to scrutinise in detail the estimates derived from the National Sample Survey before jumping to hasty conclusions. We conduct a comparative analysis of the NSS estimates with other large sample surveys. Our results underpin the need for revisiting the argued decline in OOPE and adopting a more cautious approach in estimation to avoid erroneous policy conclusions. – Reproduced
