The study looked at how economic policies affect public health spending in Indian states from 1990 to 2014. They found that state revenue and central government transfers are the main sources of funding for healthcare. Economic growth and fiscal balance have a positive impact on health spending in the long run. Improving revenue collection and using central grants efficiently can help the government allocate more money to public health.
