Abstract:
This paper empirically investigates the determinants of health care utilization in Indian state of Kerala. While asserting that health constitutes the bedrock of a person, its preservation and case to case analysis and utilization on its determinants markedly influence the rural health care . The paper corroborates that the variables such as food expenditure, income, no of elderly in a family, family size, no of children and education in one way or the other determine the utilization of health care.
