This book makes a modest attempt to unravel the operational and functional issues in the public health care system in Orissa, Indiafocusing on district sector spending and governance issues. Examining the nature and trend of public spending on health care in the state as well as district levels, this account presents the reality in terms of service delivery against the policy pronouncements.Review'An excellent documentation of important developments in the health sector in Orissa, at a time when the sector experienced several state level initiatives in health policy, health systems development and financing. District level analysis of issues in health service delivery and financing provides valuable insights that should prove useful to policymakers and practitioners alike, in other states as well.'Rajeev Ahuja, health economist, The World Bank 'Outlining various efforts made to strengthen the health care system in Orissa, it discusses the policy environment, governance issues and financing health care at the state and district level. It is commendable to observe that in the absence of any credible and systematic information at the district level, this exercise collects, collates, analyses district level budgetary data. I believe that this study will be useful for the policymakers, policy planners, academicians, civil society, and development partners in the country.' Sakthivel Selvaraj, health economist, Public Health Foundation of India'There is a crucial knowledge gap on how public funds allocated to Indian health sector flow to and are used at the ground level. The book significantly contributes to fill in the gap. I hope that it will be useful for the policymakers and the researchers.'
