520			_aKerala’s health system now confronts a paradox. Low mortality and increased longevity coexist with rising morbidity across age groups and genders, growing mental health burdens, rapid population ageing, and sharply increasing health expenditure, including high out-of-pocket costs for households. These trends have exposed the limitations of a health strategy centred on curative, hospital-based care. Kerala’s current health crisis is not one of declining indicators but of an incomplete transition—from reducing deaths to reducing disease, disability, and financial vulnerability. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/21/commentary/keralas-health-crossroads.html
