STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF TYPES OF HEALTH COSTS ON LIFE EXPECTANCY IN BULGARIA

Irina Georgieva

Abstract


Of course, the meaning of increasing health care costs is directly related to the idea that they have a beneficial effect on human health. Literature studies in this area use both single indicators and aggregates of indicators to establish the impact of health care expenditures on public health. In terms of choosing population health indicators, we would choose from widely used demographic indicators such as: birth rate and death rate, etc. However, we believe that one of the most reliable indicators used in the scientific literature is life expectancy. We have used the WHO database as a source of information.
