measuring tools in looking at economic growth in an area. If the life
expectancy in an area is higher then the level of productivity of the
people in the area is also higher followed by an increase in income per
capita which increases the purchasing power thus spurring the
economic growth of the region. The purpose of this study was to

health sector spending and life expectancy in the North Sumatra
provincial district / city that which area is included in the high per
