Abstract

L'objectif de ce papier est d'analyser l'effet des investissements en santé sur l'état de santé dans l'UEMOA. A cet effet, un modèle de panel dynamique a été utilisé pour un échantillon de 8 pays couvrant la période 2000 à 2014. L'estimateur LSDV‐Corrigé a été utilisé pour obtenir les résultats sans biais. Les résultats montrent que les dépenses de santé influencent considérablement l'état de santé en améliorant l'espérance de vie à la naissance et en réduisant le taux de mortalité infanto‐juvénile. En outre, les dépenses de santé publiques et privées ont montré une forte association positive avec l'état de santé. Cependant l'influence des dépenses privées de santé est plus importante. Ces résultats impliquent que les dépenses de santé sont indispensables à l'amélioration de l'état de santé dans l'UEMOA. Ainsi, les décideurs publics doivent augmenter les dépenses publiques de santé pour réaliser les objectifs de santé et améliorer le partenariat public‐privé pour la répartition des dépenses de santé.
