India’s Health Research and Disease Burden

Context:

A recent collaborative study by the IISc in Bangalore and the Leiden University in the Netherlands shows a mismatch between India’s health-related research publications and DALYs.  

Disease Burden

  • Disease burden is a composite metric of mortality and morbidity which is represented through Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) by the World Health Organization (WHO), is a measure of a population’s health.
  • Some diseases corner a high share of health research publications, disproportionate to their burden:

Disease Disease Burden (approx.) Research Publication (approx.)
Diabetes Mellitus 3.1% 7.5%
Neonatal conditions 12.3%, 1.3%
Cardiovascular diseases 16% 5%
Cancer (all types) 5% 22%
Tuberculosis (TB) 7% 5%
Malaria 0.5%) 2.5%
HIV/AIDS 1% 2.5%
