  This paper conducts efficiency analysis of public spending on healthcare in India. Using state-level panel data on public spending compiled from budgets, we estimate the efficiency of public spending across different states in India. We also rank the states based on their technical efficiency. Further, using administrative data on delays in fund disbursal to state health societies and vacancies in healthcare workforce, we estimate their elasticities on technical efficiency.
