Public Expenditures in the Libyan Health System and Their Impact on the Provided Health Services: An Analytical Study of the Gap Between Financing and Quality of Services from the Perspective of Service Providers

Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of public health spending on health services provided within health facilities in Libya. To achieve this, descriptive and analytical research was used to accurately describe the phenomenon and analyze the data collected using the questionnaire, the data collection tool used in this study. The study also relied on the statistical package SPSS to analyze the study's hypotheses, which were based on two dimensions: the first examines current spending and the second examines investment spending in the health sector. The results revealed that the current spending dimension (wages, salaries, and similar items) directly affects health services provided, while the investment spending dimension had an indirect impact.
