Abstract

Recent research has witnessed considerable attraction of people and policy makers regarding health outcome and its impact on the welfare of the population. Moreover, wide heterogeneity is evident in achieving various health outcomes and health related infrastructure indicators within the states. The problem of larger states, which comprises a huge population, mass poverty and poor health status, is more severe, hence requires special attention to policy makers and planners. The study aims at measuring health disparity in Uttar Pradesh, largest state in terms of population, using different indicators, related to health outcomes and infrastructures. The paper makes an attempt to develop composite index, showing health development at district level as well as regional level during the period 2010-11. The study uses Principle Component Analysis to see the impact of different indicators in the health status of the state. The empirical result shows that there exists wide variation in different indicators of health in the state at disaggregated level.
