Uttar Pradesh has once again figured at the bottom of 19 large states on the fourth NITI Aayog health index for 2019-20, released on 27 December 2021. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana are the top three, which means for four times in a row Kerala has emerged the best in overall health performance. Bihar and Madhya Pradesh were the second- and third-worst performers, respectively. For generating ranks and ensuring comparability among entities, the entities have been classified into three categories (larger states, smaller states, and Union Territories) in the index.
