Foundation for Research in Health Systems Health Monitor

    Foundation for Research in Health Systems

    Health data for every Indian state, in one place you can actually work with.

    Health Monitor compiles the figures planners and researchers reach for, from the Census, the Sample Registration System, the National Family Health Survey and HMIS, into tables you can sort, chart, map and combine. Every number keeps its unit, its source and its year attached.

    Build your own crosstab

    Pick indicators from any table, choose the states you care about, and read the result as a table, a chart or a map. Mix a Census count with a survey percentage and Health Monitor will say so rather than plotting them on one misleading axis.
