This data collection compiles survey-based and derived indicators focused on health service utilization, gender disparities, and local governance in India. It includes datasets from audit surveys of hospital patients, household surveys involving childbirth-related care, and surveys of local government leaders (sarpanches). Complementing these are demographic-adjusted estimates of illness incidence and prevalence derived from the Global Burden of Disease study. The datasets are designed to support analyses of gender differences in access to healthcare and regional health burdens across the state of Rajasthan.
