Abstract The compounding influences of population growth, climate shifts, and socio-economic dynamics drive the burden of disease, intricately shaping healthcare outcomes. Vital for disease prevention, detection, and treatment, the efficacy of healthcare systems directly impacts mortality rates. This investigation delves into 28 Indian states, each representing distinct socio-climatic profiles, to scrutinize how climate change influences three prevalent diseases: acute respiratory disorders, diarrhea, and malaria. Notably, the analysis reveals correlations between case numbers and fatalities, suggesting healthcare system strain in several states. Remarkably, only a handful of states demonstrate significant links between case prevalence in the populace and the mortality rate among affected individuals. Our research presents a methodology transferable to diverse regions, furnishing a quantitative gauge of healthcare system efficacy within specific disease contexts.
