The analysed report from NHA(National Health account) estimates that Kerala has always prioratized the Department of health in their yearly budget. It accounts to the significance that the southernmost state which is renowned as “God’s own country” spends almost Rs 9,871 per capita taking their tally even four times greater than the national average. The only runner behind Kerala stands Himachal with their cost per capita of Rs 6.496.

The submitted report for 2018-19 of the Union health and family welfare ministry, released on Monday also passed a distinction to Kerala on comparison with their neighbouring southern states putting behind Karnataka(Rs 4,878),Tamil Nadu(Rs 4,311),Telangana(Rs 4,130)and Andhra Pradesh(Rs 4,967)at a much considerable difference.
