The Government of Haryana (GoH) undertook its first ever state-level Health Accounts exercise for the financial year 2014–2015. Health Accounts (HA), a globally accepted methodology for resource tracking, is widely regarded as a powerful tool to produce critical evidence to inform policy and budget decisions.

The main findings of this HA exercise included high household out-of-pocket expenditure (72%) and that the state’s health spending goes predominantly to curative care (87%, including both outpatient and inpatient care).
