The report is prepared by the National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) using the globally accepted <strong>System of Health Accounts (SHA-2011)<\/strong> framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHA 2022\u201323 marks the <strong>10th edition<\/strong> of this important report, tracking how funds flow through India\u2019s health system from government, private sector, households, insurance providers, and external agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%88_Government_Health_Spending_Shows_Strong_Growth\"><\/span>\ud83d\udcc8 Government Health Spending Shows Strong Growth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the report, <strong>Government Health Expenditure (GHE)<\/strong> has shown a significant increase over the past decade. It has risen from \u20b91.30 lakh crore in 2013\u201314 to \u20b93.85 lakh crore in 2022\u201323, reflecting nearly a threefold rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of GDP contribution, GHE increased from <strong>1.15% to 1.43%<\/strong>, indicating higher prioritisation of healthcare in public spending. Government spending on primary healthcare has also more than doubled, strengthening India\u2019s preventive healthcare infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%92%B3_Decline_in_Out-of-Pocket_Expenditure_OOPE\"><\/span>\ud83d\udcb3 Decline in Out-of-Pocket Expenditure (OOPE)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important findings of the report is the <strong>decline in Out-of-Pocket Expenditure (OOPE)<\/strong>, which represents the money directly spent by households on healthcare services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OOPE has reduced from <strong>64.2% in 2013\u201314 to 43.4% in 2022\u201323<\/strong>, showing improved financial protection for citizens. This decline is largely due to government schemes like <strong>Ayushman Bharat, National Health Mission, and expanded insurance coverage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8F%A5_Rising_Role_of_Social_Security_and_Insurance\"><\/span>\ud83c\udfe5 Rising Role of Social Security and Insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also highlights that <strong>Social Security Expenditure (SSE)<\/strong> on health has increased from 6% to 9.9% during the same period. This reflects the growing role of government-backed insurance and welfare schemes in reducing healthcare costs for vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Overall_Health_Expenditure_Growth\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Overall Health Expenditure Growth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India\u2019s <strong>Total Health Expenditure (THE)<\/strong> now stands at <strong>3.37% of GDP<\/strong>, indicating a gradual but steady increase in investment in the healthcare sector.
