ABSTRACT
This study investigates the relationship between healthcare financing and malnutrition in Nigeria, aiming to inform policy interventions. Employing a quantitative research design, data analysis includes descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses. Descriptive statistics reveal insights into life expectancy, health expenditure, and GDP growth rate. Correlation analysis indicates moderate negative correlation between health expenditure and health status, while GDP growth rate shows a moderate positive correlation with health status. Regression analysis confirms a significant negative relationship between health expenditure and health status, raising concerns about resource allocation efficiency. Additionally, a positive relationship between unemployment rate and health status suggests nuanced socio-economic dynamics. GDP growth rate insignificance suggests other determinants influencing health outcomes. The study recommends enhancing healthcare expenditure efficiency, addressing socio-economic disparities, and promoting holistic economic policies for improved health outcomes.
