However, the health system in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has not been receiving enough attention. The direct effect of public health expenditure and corruption on economic growth, as well as the role of corruption in the relationship between public health spending and eco nomic growth in 32 sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2022, is examined by this study using fixed effect and the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) as an estimation technique. The results show that both public health expenditure and corruption negatively impact economic growth, while the joint effect of public health spending and corruption enhances economic growth in SSA. Furthermore, the findings reveal that in flation hurts economic growth whereas gross capital formation and trade openness have a positive effect on economic growth. It is recommended that the government should formulate policies that will control corrup tion and raise the level of institutional quality in the SSA regionDržavna poraba za zdravstvo je bistven dejavnik rasti vsakega gospodarstva. Vendar pa zdravstveni sistem v podsaharski Afriki (angl. sub--Saharan Africa – SSA) ni bil deležen zadostne pozornosti. Pričujoča razsikava preučuje neposredni vpliv javne zdravstvene porabe in ko rupcije na gospodarsko rast ter vlogo korupcije v odnosu med javno porabo za zdravstvo ter gospodarsko rastjo v 32 državah podsaharske Afrike v obdobju od leta 2000 do 2022. Analiza temelji na metodi fiksnih učinkov in generalizirani metodi momentov (angl. Generalised Method of Moments – GMM) kot ocenjevalni tehniki. Rezultati kažejo, da tako javna poraba za zdravstvo kot korupcija negativno vplivata na gospodarsko rast, medtem ko skupni učinek javne zdravstvene porabe in korupcije spodbuja gospodarsko rast v SSA. Poleg tega ugotovitve razkrivajo, da inflacija negativno vpliva na gospodarsko rast, medtem ko bruto investicije v osnovna sredstva in odprtost trgovine pozitivno vplivajo nanjo. Priporočeno je, da vlade oblikujejo politike, ki bodo omejile korupcijo ter izboljšale raven institucionalne kakovosti v regiji SSATEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza na Primorskem, Fakulteta za management
