Abstract: (1085 Views)
Introduction: Corruption has significant negative impacts on the health sector by diverting resources and reducing both the quality and accessibility of services. As health is a cornerstone of sustainable development, this study aims to quantitatively analyze the impact of corruption control on the under-five child mortality rate—one of the most important health indicators—in selected oil-exporting countries.
Methods: This research is an analytical study using panel data and the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) method for 12 selected oil-exporting countries over the period from 2000 to 2022.
Results: The findings indicate that the corruption control index has a significant negative effect on under-five child mortality (coefficient: -1.7083, P<0.01); specifically, a one percent increase in corruption control reduces child mortality by 1.71 percent. Additionally, public health expenditure (coefficient: -3.1297) and per capita GDP (coefficient: -0.0002) also have significant negative effects on this indicator.
Conclusion: Alongside economic growth and increased health spending, corruption control is a key factor in improving health outcomes and reducing child mortality in the countries studied. Therefore, policymakers in the economic and health sectors should prioritize effective measures to enhance transparency, strengthen oversight institutions, and combat corruption in order to achieve sustainable development goals.
