In this thesis, infant mortality is compared in the countries of Europe, Africa and Latin America and its correlation with GDP and health costs. It appeared that income is an important factor in justifying the differences recorded in the consumption of health resources between different countries. In addition, the share of GDP attributable to the consumption of health resources in the field of health in developed countries is usually higher than in developing countries. Therefore, when the level of development increases, the health resources consumed also increase.All authors agree that the consumption of financial health resources has a positive impact on shaping the health status of low-income groups. They also state that the consumption of resources by the various governments plays an important factor in the field of health. Using demographic and health data, they state that the allocation of health resources can significantly reduce infant mortality at the national level.At the same time, more and more countries are setting targeted policies for the management of the health services provided, taking into account that countries recording increased levels of consumption of health resources have managed to achieve a reduction in the accompanying mortality rates. Analyzing the relationship between health care costs, economic progress, and child mortality achieves an in-depth exploration of the assessment of health status
