39(1), Jan-Mar, 2020: p. 17-32 This paper focuses on the disparities that persist in India's health sector across different states. Following the conventional measures of disparities such as standard deviation and coefficient of variation, this work investigate the spatial variations across the Indian states with three basic health indicators viz., infant mortality rate (IMR), under-five mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio. The temporal variations in state-wise disparities of IMR for the period 1998 to 2012 are also analyzed. Finally, three separate multiple regressions of IMR, U5MR and MMR on variables representing health infrastructure and social factors is done to find their roles in health outcomes.- Reproduced Health outcome indicators, Infant mortality rate, Under-five mortality rate, Maternal mortality ratio, Spoilsport difference,s state-wise disparities IASSI Quarterly: Contributions To Indian Social Science 201028
