Abstract: It is examined whether differential progress towards health MDGs was associated with economic development, public health funding (both overall and as percentage of available domestic funds), or health system infrastructure. Also, the impact of joint epidemics of HIV/AIDS and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which may limit the ability of households to address child mortality and increase risks of infectious diseases is also studied.

Keywords: noncommunicable diseases (NCDs); public health; funding; health system infrastructure; child mortality; HiV/AIDS; epidemics; disease; economic development; MDGs; domestic funds (search for similar items in EconPapers)
