Kerala has topped the health index report prepared by NITI Aayog, followed by Punjab and Tamil Nadu. Despite being among the fastest improving states, Uttar Pradesh ranked at the bottom among 21 large states on health indicators as per NITI Aayog's Health Index Rankings that was announced.
The health ranking of states has been done in three categories namely larger states, smaller states and union territories to ensure comparison among similar entities.
"Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir and UP showed the maximum gains in improvement of health outcomes from base (2014-15) to reference year (2015-16) in indicators such as neonatal mortality rate, under-five mortality rate, full immunization coverage, institutional deliveries, and People Living with HIV (PLHIV) on anti-retroviral therapy,"
Among the smaller states, Mizoram ranked first followed by Manipur on overall performance. In terms of annual incremental performance, Manipur came out on top followed by Goa.
Among the union territories, Lakshadweep showed both the best overall performance, as well as the highest annual incremental performance.
