Abstract | In recent years, there have been significant efforts to examine the organization and performance of health systems. This study's main purpose is to compare health systems and analyze the health status of the citizens of Comoros, Mauritius, and Seychelles, with the intention of providing policy recommendations for Comoros. Peer-reviewed studies and reports published by non-governmental organizations and international agencies were systematically collected through large database searches, filtered through methodological inclusion criteria, and organized into the World Health Organization (WHO) building blocks framework. The literature review demonstrates that health outcomes have dramatically improved over the past decades in Mauritius and Seychelles but not in Comoros. As of 2015, Mauritius and Seychelles were among the few African countries to have achieved almost all the Millennium Development Goals, whereas Comoros still struggles to reduce child mortality and improve maternal health. In contrast, the total health expenditure of the three island states, as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), seemed similar over the studied time period. |
