Adequate health infrastructure like hospitals, doctors and trained personal determines the major health indicators like life expectancy, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate etc. There is no denying in the fact that India has achieved a significant progress in providing health infrastructure but it is not evenly distributed in the pan country. The states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh are still lacking in providing the basic health service to the people and still below the international recommendations given by WHO, hence these states need a special focus to idge the loopholes in the availability of proper healthcare facilities. So, this paper is an modest attempt to show the special distribution of health infrastructure and to identified the hotspots of poor healthcare facilities with the help of secondary data obtained from National Health Policy, 2018.
