Overview

Empirical study analyzes government health spending effects on malaria, infant, and maternal mortality in Nigeria, indicating inadequate outcomes.

Key Points

  • This study investigates the effects of government health expenditure on malaria, infant, and maternal mortality rates in Nigeria from 2000 to 2024.
  • Used an unrestricted vector autoregressive approach to analyze time series data
  • Conducted unit root tests (ADF, PP) for stationarity verification
  • Applied Johansen cointegration test and vector error correction model for relationship assessment
  • Rising government health spending did not lead to improvements in malaria, infant, and maternal mortality rates
  • Findings highlight the ongoing challenges of inadequate healthcare infrastructure and health worker welfare
  • Government expenditures have not effectively translated into better health outcomes in Nigeria during the study period.
