Estimating National Burden of Disease.                     
The Burden of Disease in Andhra Pradesh, 1990s.  

Prasanta Mahapatra

The AP Burden of Disease (APBD) estimates arrived at in this study are of importance from two different policy perspectives. National Burden of Disease (NBD) estimate will be of immediate interest to those concerned about health policy of the concerned national or sub-national entity for which the study is made. Using the case of Andhra Pradesh in India, the study examines available sources of data and describes their usability. Deficiency in availability of local data is highlighted to draw attention to the need for improving vital statistics, cause of death and epidemiological surveillance systems. The study provided an opportunity for a comprehensive estimation of disease burden in AP during the 1990s.
