The Impacts of Healthcare Spending on Health Outcomes: New Evidence from OECD Countries

Öz:

Objective: This study aimed to reveal the impacts of the selected healthcare spending indicators on the selected healthoutcomes for OECD countries.Materials and Methods: In this study, the data for OECD countries were analyzed by stepwise multiple regression analysis.Healthcare spending as a share of GDP, public and private healthcare spending per capita and pharmaceutical spending percapita were used as independent variables; infant and maternal mortality, male and female life expectancy at birth, and in 80years, and self-reported health were used as dependent variables.Results: According to the results, it was found out that public healthcare spending per capita has a significant impact onmaternal and infant mortality, male and female life expectancy at birth and in 80 years. Also, private healthcare spendingper capita was found as an important determinant of self-reported health.Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be suggested that it is necessary to increase the public support for mother-childhealth services to reduce maternal and infant mortality; and for services for improvement and promotion of health to increaselife expectancy at birth and in 80 years. It is considered that improvements in the minimum income levels of individuals andincreasing government promotion within the scope of the complementary health insurance offered by the private sector willhave a positive impact on the individuals’ perception of health status.
