Abstract: Haryana, one of India's economically robust states, faces health infrastructure disparities among its districts. Among the 21 districts of the State, a few are endowed with better health facilities, while others lag behind. To comprehend and redress inequalities in Haryana's healthcare system, it's essential to analyze district-wise health infrastructure resources, including hospitals, health centers, medical institution beds, doctors, nurses, etc. This study aims to analyze health infrastructure disparities among Haryana's districts. The coefficients of variation, ratios, and development indices of eight indicators of health infrastructure are analyzed. The greatest disparities in health facility availability, as shown by coefficient of variation statistics, are in the number of hospital beds. The findings reveal that most districts have a disproportionately small number of health infrastructure indicators, such as doctors, nurses, beds, hospitals, primary health centers, community health centers, and dispensaries, relative to their population. The health infrastructure development indices vary significantly among districts. On the basis of these indices, it is found that the districts including Bhiwani and Hisar are developed while district Ambala, Panchkula, Karnal, Jhajjar, Jind, Sonipat, Mahendragarh and Rohtak also have a considerable improvement from year 2007-08 to 2015-16 in physical and human health infrastructure. Lastly, the third category of the districts are Kurukshetra, Panipat, Kaithal, Yamunanagar, Fatehabad, Sirsa, Faridabad, Gurugram, Rewari, Nuh and Palwal. which are underprivileged with regard to the development of health infrastructure and thus, looking for immediate attention with concrete plan of action from Government of Haryana.
