Abstract

The World Bank defines good governance based on six indicators: accountability, political stability, government efficiency, quality of law and regulation, the rule of law, and corruption control. On the other hand, the ultimate goal is the development of human health and well-being. Given the importance of health in society, government investment in this area is recognized as one of the government's main tasks, and the lack or inadequacy in providing health services in any country is considered one of the weaknesses of governments. Therefore, examining the quality of governments in the health sector is of particular importance. This study also examines the effects of good governance on managing the severity of the COVID-19 crisis, considering the importance of public health, especially in control of the COVID-19 pandemic, using the new 2021 public health definition index. This study examines data from Southwest Asian countries from 2003 to 2021.
