India: Health of the Nation?s States
The India State-Level Disease Burden Initiative

Conclusion
The disease burden and risk factor estimates for every state of India from 1990 to 2016 in this report are the most
comprehensive description of disease epidemiology attempted so far in a single standardised framework for every
part of the country. These included all available data and inputs from a large network of highly skilled collaborators.
This knowledge base can be a crucial aid for more informed policy and interventions to improve population health in
every state and union territory of India and in reducing health inequalities between the states. These findings and the
ongoing work of the India State-level Disease Burden Initiative could provide important inputs for the data-driven and
decentralised health planning and monitoring recommended by the National Health Policy 2017 and the NITI Aayog
