Health Expenditure, Institutional Quality, and Under-Five Mortality in Sub-Saharan African Countries.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between health expenditure, institutional quality, and under-five mortality rates in sub-Saharan African countries. Specifically, the study seeks to explore the mediating role of institutional quality in this relationship, focusing on understanding how variations in healthcare spending and institutional frameworks impact child health outcomes. By examining these dynamics, the study aims to provide valuable insights that can inform evidence-based policy interventions to reduce under-five mortality and improve child health outcomes in the region.
