Investments in the health sector vary from country to country. However, financing of investments is provided by the public and private sectors; thus, it has an impact on the welfare of countries. Hence, increasing both the quality and quantity of health expenditures is essential. In this line, the research on performance analysis of health indicators is useful. This study analyzes the performance of health indicators of the countries in the South Asian Regional Cooperation Organization (SAARC) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which have the highest level of health expenditures. To do so, we have utilized total, public, and private health expenditures, infant mortality rate, GDP per capita, life expectancy at birth, and mortality rate as the variables affecting health performance. Employing ARAS and WASPAS methods, we have used the most recent data, 2019. Our results yield similar findings of ARAS and WASPAS. Furthermore, we have documented that the countries with the highest health performance are Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, and Ireland. In contrast, Bhutan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, and Bangladesh are the countries with the lowest performance.
