In the article “Health Outcome Convergence and the Roles of Public Health Financing and Governance in Africa,” published in PLOS ONE, authors Ariane Ephemia, Ndzignat Mouteyica and Nicholas Nwanyek Ngepah explore the progress of African nations in reducing disparities in health outcomes between 2000 and 2019. By examining infant mortality, under-5 mortality, and life expectancy across 40 countries, the study evaluates whether health outcomes in Africa are converging and identifies distinct “convergence clubs” where similar progress is observed. The research employs a non-linear dynamic factor model to highlight the significant role of public health financing and governance quality in promoting convergence, suggesting that targeted, club-specific health policies may enhance the effectiveness of regional health strategies. This study underscores the importance of robust governance and strategic public health investment as African countries strive toward sustainable health improvements aligned with SDG 3 and SDG 10.
