Abstract
Health contributes to increasing productivity in generating qualityhuman resources. Health development aims to attain the highestpublic health degree fairly and equally. Convergence reduces the gapbetween regions and makes development more equitable. One ofthe booming health development indicators is life expectancy. Thegovernment must collaborate across sectors, namely the social andeconomic sectors, to accelerate the convergence process. This studyaims to identify convergence and analyze the determinants of healthdevelopment in North Sumatera Province. To this purpose, panel dataof 33 districts/cities in North Sumatera Province over 2012-2019is investigated using the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM)as dynamic panel data analysis. The results showed that convergencein health development measured by life expectancy occurred inNorth Sumatera Province. The most influential variables in healthdevelopment were socio-economic variables.How to Cite:Hastuti, I. M., Rindayati, W., & Asmara, A. (2022).
