Abstract

Spending adequate resources is a key component to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals but no attempt has yet been made to estimate the funds required to achieve the SDGs in Punjab. This study attempts to analyze the level of expenditures that will be required to meet health-related SDGs in Punjab. The methodology used to estimate the funds requires to achieve the health-related SDGs is simple linear regression. The results show that we must increase our per capita spending in health by 13%/year. Furthermore, we have also estimated that if the previous trend of spending persists in health sector, the increase in per capita spending will be only 9% and by this level of increase in spending, we will be far away to achieve health-related SDGs in Punjab. Health care spending at all tier is indeed required to become more effective to achieve SDGs.
