Corruption and health in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: The impact of health on economic growth has been widely discussed in previous literature. The literature indicates that a healthier population leads to economic growth.

This implies that fighting corruption leads to better health, and could be an important tool for an increased economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa.
