Testing Population Health Security through a Correlative Economic Development Model
Abstract
In the context of the current overlapping crises: the global financial and economic crisis, the energy crisis, the health crisis, the geopolitical and military crisis, the countries of the world are faced with multiple solutions and ways to limit public spending, health systems must increase their efficiency and provide value for money. We aim to test the health security of the population through a correlative model of economic development considering the dynamics of sustainable economic development in 6 countries (Germany, Italy, Latvia, Spain, Bulgaria and Romania). The results will be analysed in relation to the level of health security that the 6 Member States have developed in the pandemic and post-pandemic period, and the results will assess the impact of the correlation between economic deprivation and access to quality healthcare. The methods used will consist in achieving an econometric correlation with the help of multiple linear regression and will allow the identification of the need for health security policies.
