| Abstract: | The present study is based on an astonishing data found in the Budget 2004 of the State of West Bengal. In spite of rising budgetary provision and actual expenditure on the rural health care services, 11% of the rural populace dies without any medical attention. Use of institutional medical services is still very low (just 14.75% of the reported death cases had used any sort of institutional health care before death). 74% of the populace of rural West Bengal dies after receiving non- institutional means of treatment. In this context, the paper assesses the basic causes of non-utilization of insti- tutional health care services by the rural population of West Bengal. |
