The Indian Healthcare system is a mix of public and private health systems with majority of people preferring private health care facilities. Health Infrastructure, an important indicator to understand healthcare delivery provision also signifies investments required in public and private sectors. Indian government has made significant investment in healthcare infrastructure and healthcare delivery mechanisms. As identified, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India has four departments viz. Department of Health, Family Welfare, Indian Systems of Medicine and Health Research whereas Public Health Department is strikingly absent. Secondary data from government sources and publicly available reports were accessed in order to understand whether Government of India has invested in Health Infrastructure creation for Health Outcomes Research and Patient Reported Outcomes Research. Healthcare in India is mostly spent out of pocket and is provided via private sector. The XII five year plan document of Department of Health Research, projected an increase in public health spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP by 2017. It is reported in the XII plan document that India has set aside approximately USD 50 mn for creation of health infrastructure for promoting health research. The focus in health infrastructure is largely communicable and non-communicable diseases, basic medical sciences, nutrition, reproductive health, maternal & child health. The plan document has identified health infrastructure strengthening in the areas of animal experiments, clinical pharmacology, critical health policy issues, health system research, socio-behavioural research. However, there is no policy in place that supports carrying out Health Outcomes Research and Patient Reported Outcomes Measures, which could be integrated into critical health policy issues to address problems listed above. It is important that Health Outcomes Research is inter-twined in Health policy to support and strengthen health infrastructure in India.
