accountability and bureaucracy quality. Whereas for the
population health proxies are infant mortality rate and life
expectancy. The sample of this study consist of 105 countries.

Political Risk Services Group and World Development
Indicators 2015. This study considers econometric techniques
like Fixed Effects, Random Effects and GMM. Study findings
indicate that population health is positively affected by the
institutional quality that is increasing life expectancy and
dropping infant mortality rate. Furthermore, GDP per capita,
physician, and population density display a positive influence on
life expectancy. The results propose that to achieve population
better health outcomes, authorities must cautiously contemplate
