Our results show that reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health gains from domestic public health financing were strong, with a potentially significant reduction in child and maternal mortality due to increased financing, all other things being equal.
We found potential fiscal space from improving public financial management, with emphasis on the efficiency and effectiveness of tax collection.
Borrowing to create fiscal space for the health sector was only feasible in the short term as debt burden was not sustainable in SSA countries.
