Observations on Trend in Yearly Deliveries Reported from Public and Private Hospitals in Kerala (2014–2025)

Private hospitals consistently report a much higher number of deliveries than public hospitals throughout the period from 2014–15 to 2024–25.

Deliveries in public hospitals declined from 1.46 lakh in 2014–15 to 0.9 lakh in 2024–25, indicating a gradual shift away from government facilities.

Private hospital deliveries fluctuated slightly but remained dominant, peaking again at 3.21 lakh in 2024–25 after a dip in 2022–23.

The declining public sector figures may reflect growing preference for private maternity care due to service quality or accessibility.

Overall, the data highlights Kerala’s increasing reliance on private healthcare institutions for childbirth services.
