This study investigates the tendency for health system resources and health outcomes to converge for the countries of Central Europe and the Baltic region from 2000 to 2019. The existence of convergence is tested using the ? coefficient within and across the 11 countries studied. The panel result favors the existence of convergence in the three variables employed as health system resourcesphysician density, nurses density, and per capita current health expenditure. Similarly, the findings support the presence of convergence in all four variables used as health outcomeslife expectancy at birth (total), crude death per 1000 population, NCDs mortality, and infant mortality. Furthermore, at the country level, the results are heterogeneous. Evidence highlights that only three variables employed as health system resources converged in Iceland, Latvia, Norway, and Sweden. The results favor the convergence in all four variables employed as health outcomes in Poland and Russia. However, the exact opposite holds for the convergence of health outcomes in Denmark. Therefore, this calls for the need to implement sound reforms in the health systems that could translate increased health system resources into improved health outcomes. 2025 The Author(s).
