India ranks below Lanka, Bangladesh on healthcare index

[Nilgiri]

Even from here you can see mortality rate per 1k birth in India 28. Bangladesh 23. Niger 27.

Niger is not really swimming in institutional capacity/credibility either.

Are we really supposed to believe Somalia's much lower figures than India and BD in the early 90s....when Somalia was scourged by massive warfare, famine and general anarchy?

But for arguments sake (BBS being 100% legit), there is like a small difference between India and BD here for you to be saying "India is more comparable to/worse than Somalia".

Every country's claims have to be backed up by their institutional credibility as judged by their global peers...North Korea published that its life expectancy is just as good or better than the USA with compiled data even etc... OK!

Mortality (Child?) is ONE parameter.

Besides, we know our healthcare is screwed. But Somalia? Healthcare does not exist in Somalia. Heck, even the state does not exist in Somalia.

I wasn't arguing. Like I said I made that comment looking at the headline of that article I gave you. And I pretty much agree with post#14. India has the facilities but they don't reach a lot of people. As I mentioned in terms of high level treatments India is quite ahead of others in this subcontinent. Basic treatments are also there but it doesn't reach a good portion of people.

Anyway here you go:

Well neo-mortality index does not not equal actual on ground mortality. The Hindu is a well known leftist mouthpiece that misrepresent a lot of things.

A basic parameter where I think India should be doing better than what they are currently doing. Specially if you consider India's other stats.

Besides, we know our healthcare is screwed. But Somalia? Healthcare does not exist in Somalia. Heck, even the state does not exist in Somalia.

This is where you are missing the point. You guys undoubtedly have the facilities. Like India is better place for complex brain surgery or liver transplant than Bangladesh or I'd say even Sri-lanka. But your facilities fail to reach a significant amount of people where many doesn't even get the basic treatment.

I still fail to find the ACTUAL list of nations with their healthcare indices.

Please, someone provide.

Please, someone provide.

Not exactly what you wanted. But This is the closest list I could find.

Healthcare systems:
Sri Lanka - 76
Bangladesh - 88
India - 112
Pakistan -122
Bhutan - 128
Nepal - 150
Myanmar - unexpectedly at 190

If you read the ending in detail, they actually have a lot of modelling (esp multi-factor variance regressions) they are still working out. They seem to be a relatively new index, so I would take the results with a further pinch of salt in addition to the quality of the (largely) institutional-dependent source data.

I do have to give them props for starting this comprehensive, wide scope of measuring health delivery. Have to start somewhere, and there is useful information here for many country's planners.

That's different from the OP study....and also flawed in its own ways too.

Sorry, but that is of year 2000 and a WHO ranking.

This is different and has Andorra with Rank 1, going by reports. I have been checking their pages but unable to find the exact list.

Danke schon.

Well yes. But which list is without flaw?

But yeah I may not like Myanmar but I don't think they would be at 190.

This is contradictory info.

Sri Lanka is better than India?
Pakistani, Bhutan, Nepal worse?

Ok, so got the list. Thanks.

India is 45.
Pakistan is 43.
Somalia is 34.

Now I know why this thread is so quiet.

Why contradictory? In the OP it states Sri Lanka and Bangladesh ahead of India. Pakistan and others in the SA region worse.
The list I gave is from a different study than the one at OP. But gives similar comparative rankings for the countries in SA region.

Ok.

Yeah.

Swaziland is 42. Pakistan is 43. North Korea is 62.
There is something wrong with the sanctity of the data.

India has done bad, but this...
