As per sample registration system (SRS) report 2010,
Under-five mortality rate is 59 per 1000 live births which translates
into 1.5 million deaths of the children below age of 5 years and
Neo-natal mortality rate stands at 33 per 1000 live births which
translates into 0.87 million neonatal deaths in the country.
India does not rank lowest in public health care spending. As per World Health Statistics 2012 of WHO, India ranks 17th among 194 member states in ascending order of General Govt. Expenditure on health as a percentage of total expenditure on health. Public expenditure on Core Health (both plan and non-plan and taking the Centre and States together) was about 1.04 per cent of the GDP during 2011–12.
There is no specific WHO recommendation in this regard. However, draft 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) document envisages increasing total public funding, plan and Non-Plan on core health from 1.04% of GDP in 2011-12 to 1.87% of GDP by the end of the 12th Plan.
