Despite significant advancements in healthcare, disparities in access to quality healthcare services persist in rural India. This study undertakes a quantitative assessment of regional disparities in healthcare facilities across Dakshin Dinajpur district, West Bengal. Using a multidimensional Health Index constructed from 13 key indicators, we analyze the spatial patterns of healthcare inequities across eight blocks in the district. Our results reveal pronounced disparities in healthcare infrastructure, human resources, and service utilization, with significant implications for health outcomes. We identify priority areas for intervention and propose targeted policy recommendations to mitigate these disparities and promote equitable access to quality healthcare services. This study contributes to the evidence base on healthcare inequities in rural India and informs strategies for achieving universal health coverage.
