dc.description.abstract	The impact of health on economic growth has been widely discussed in previous literature. The literature indicates that a healthier population leads to economic growth. This thesis studies the relationship between corruption and health in Sub-Saharan Africa, using a fixed effects model. The result indicates that corruption has an effect on two of the chosen health indicators: under-five mortality rate and life expectancy. This implies that fighting corruption leads to better health, and could be an important tool for an increased economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa.	sv
