The decline in health expenditure since the mid-1980s, and the steady withdrawal by the state from provision of public health services, has resulted in diminished capacity of the health system to respond to the basic health needs of communities. This presentation elaborates on the various health planning commissions and health expenditure in India.

HEALTH PLANNING
DEFINITION
“The orderly process of defining community health problems, identifying
unmet needs and surveying the resources to meet them, establishing
priority goals that are realistic and feasible and projecting administrative
action concerned not only with the adequacy, efficacy and efficiency of
health services but also with those factors of ecology and of social and
individual behaviour that affect the health of the individual and the
community"

Office for Europe, 1975.

54. CONCLUSION
 Though Health is important for overall well-being of the
population in a country, India spends only 3.66% of GDP for
healthcare which is lesser than many lower middle income
countries.
 Current pace of slow increase in the healthcare budget will make it
difficult to achieve targets like reducing MMR to 100 in 2018-2020
and IMR to 28 by this year.
