Abstract: This paper depicts the effect of public, private, and total health expenditure on health outcome of nine developing countries of Asian subcontinent using a panel data between 2000 to 2019. The study uses Fixed Effect (FE) and Random Effect (RE) Panel model, taking control variables on Co2 emissions/capita, DPT and Tuberculosis (TB). The positive coefficient of total health expenditure (0.369), public health expenditure (0.692), private health expenditure (0.398) is statistically significant in the age group of 14 to 64 years and positively affects the Life Expectancy. The result suggests increased health budget corresponds to improved health indicators, achieving SDGs.
