Abstract
Background: Human development is one of the most important issues that lead to
achieving human welfare and needs. This study addressed the impact of health
outcomes on human development in Sudan during the period 2001-2021 in light of
the decline in these indicators.
This study aimed to identify the
role of health sector outcomes as a final product of health in improving the
human development index and measuring the degree of impact of these indicators
on the human development index.
Methods: The researcher used the descriptive and analytical approach (E
.Views) to reach the results of the study.
Results: The study showed that there is a strong and inverse relationship
between the human development index and the child mortality rate, as the
correlation degree reached -0.79. It also showed that the relationship is such
that: the higher the life expectancy rate, the higher the human development
index; as the relationship was significant at 0.03 with a strong positive
correlation degree of 0.77. The study also concluded that mortality rates have
a strong negative correlation with the human development index, as the
correlation degree between them reached -0.79. These indicators affect the
human development index by 71%, while the remaining (29%) represent other
factors affecting the human development rate that were not included in the
current model.
Conclusion: The study found a significant relationship between the health
sector output indicators and the human development index. The study recommended
the need to pay attention to health outputs to contribute to achieving human
development by diversifying sources of funding for the health sector to provide
greater support to the health sector to raise health outputs, which in turn
raises the human development index.
