Exploring health outcome disparities in African regional economics communities: a multilevel linear mixed-effect analysis
Polices aimed at reducing unemployment rates and HIV incidence should be prioritized. In addition, governments should invest in elderly care programs and infrastructure development for water supply. Efforts to promote internet access should be complemented by interventions to enhance child health and healthcare accessibility. Encouraging urban planning policies that prioritize developing healthcare infrastructure and facilitating healthcare access in urban areas is crucial. Furthermore, Governments should increase their health expenditure allocation in general government spending. Promoting strategies to enhance healthcare access and quality for specific demographics, alongside leveraging trade gains to invest in healthcare infrastructure and services, is imperative. Targeted interventions ensuring equitable access to immunization services should also be emphasized.
