As per a statement released by the NITI Aayog on December 27, 2021, the health index serves as an annual tool to evaluate the performance of states and UTs. It is a composite index that takes into account 24 indicators categorized under three domains: ‘health outcomes,’ ‘governance and information,’ and ‘key inputs/processes.’ Each domain is assigned a weight based on its importance, with greater emphasis on outcome indicators.
The ‘health outcomes’ domain comprises indicators such as neonatal mortality rate, total fertility rate, sex ratio at birth, immunization coverage, proportion of institutional deliveries, total case notification rate of tuberculosis, and proportion of people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy.
