Abstract

Santiago Fernandez

This article explores the relationship between health outcomes and public health expenditures in Ghana, drawing upon recent evidence from empirical studies. Ghana, like many developing countries, faces challenges in achieving desirable health outcomes amidst limited resources. Understanding the effectiveness of public health expenditures is crucial for policymakers to allocate resources efficiently and improve healthcare delivery. Through a comprehensive literature review, this article examines the existing evidence on the impact of public health expenditures on various health outcomes in Ghana. The discussion highlights key findings, identifies gaps in the literature, and offers recommendations for future research and policy interventions.
