This study examines key health indicators in South Asian countries using a dataset from 2023, focusing on life expectancy, incidence of diabetes, healthcare expenditure, and infant mortality rates. The analysis reveals significant disparities across the region, highlighting the pressing need for targeted public health interventions. Countries such as India and Afghanistan demonstrate notably high diabetes incidence rates, suggesting a critical need for effective diabetes management strategies. Moreover, the correlation between healthcare expenditure and health outcomes is evident, as nations like the Maldives and Sri Lanka show better health indicators associated with higher healthcare investments. Conversely, alarming infant mortality rates, particularly in Afghanistan, underscore the necessity for enhanced maternal and child health services. This research emphasizes the importance of strategic health financing and resource allocation to address the complex health challenges faced by South Asian nations. By prioritizing healthcare spending and developing targeted interventions, policymakers can improve health outcomes and ensure equitable access to quality healthcare. The findings serve as a foundation for future studies aimed at enhancing public health strategies in the region, advocating for continued monitoring of health metrics to inform effective health policies and promote sustainable improvements in health across South Asia.
