Why is it important?
Human development is closely linked to population health, yet the specific contribution of health-related factors is not always clear. Understanding how health spending, workforce, and other indicators relate to the Human Development Index can support more informed policy decisions. This study helps highlight the role of health systems in shaping development outcomes and provides evidence to guide health and development planning.
Perspectives
This study offers a broader perspective on how health system indicators can be used to better understand differences in human development across countries. The findings may support policymakers and researchers in identifying priority areas for health investment. Future research can build on this work by incorporating additional social and economic factors and by applying similar approaches to different regional contexts.
