Examining the relationship between health expenditure and life expectancy across African countries. # Health Analytics Project This project explores relationships between health expenditure, immunization coverage and child mortality across six African countries (Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Senegal and Ethiopia) using World Bank data. ## Objective To understand how public health spending relates to key health outcomes in Africa using Python, Seaborn and OLS regression. ## Tools Used - Python (Pandas, Seaborn, Matplotlib, Statsmodels) - World Bank Open Data API (`wbdata`) - Google Colab for reproducible analysis ## Key Methods - Bivariate and OLS Regression - Data Visualization with Seaborn - Comparative Analysis across 6 countries ## Results Visualizations highlight the relationship between healthcare spending and under-5 mortality trends. The OLS model shows statistically significant correlations in several cases. ### Key Findings - Life expectancy and healthcare expenditure show a strong positive association across six African countries (R² = 0.78). - GDP per capita has a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) with life expectancy. - Visual patterns suggest countries with higher per-capita health spending tend to achieve better health outcomes. ## Run it Yourself You can open and run this notebook directly on Google Colab: ## Requirements pandas seaborn matplotlib statsmodels ## Vizualization using Tableau 🩺 Health Analytics Dashboard – Africa (2004–2024) This interactive Tableau dashboard visualizes the relationship between health expenditure (% of GDP) and life expectancy across six African countries — Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Africa — from 2004 to 2024. ## Data Source: World Bank Open Data (World Development Indicators) ## Key Insights: -Higher health expenditure is generally associated with increased life expectancy, though country-level disparities persist. -Egypt and South Africa demonstrate relatively high life expectancy at moderate expenditure levels. -Nigeria and Ethiopia show lower life expectanc …
