  The 75th round of survey on social consumption on health conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) suggests that there has been a significant fall in morbidity rate in India in the three-year period 2014 to 2017-18. The magnitude of this fall is not only remarkably sharp, but also is in contrast to the rising trends in morbidity levels in the country for nearly the past two decades. This paper digs into methodological issues to understand the reliability of the emerging patterns. The relevance of the assessment stems from the fact that the survey has implications for health policy formulations.
