Delhi seems to be segregated along economic status, with the health seeking behaviour of low-income households being quite different from that of middle and high-income households. This economic segregation has also manifested itself in geographic segregation in terms of clustering of households of similar economic type in one area. The elaborate government health care system in Delhi, is mainly supposed to cater to those who are less privileged. However, the data revealed that this is more the exception than the rule. A greater percentage of high and middle-income households use government facilities, and a greater percentage of lower income households use private facilities.
