This study is motivated to investigate health impact of Public Health Strengthening mechanism on Outcome among selected African countries: Implication on Outbreak in Fragile SSA countries. Specifically looking at the differences in health impacts among selected Sub-Saharan African countries considering its implication on covid-19 outbreak. Employing the panel data estimation technique and the World Bank Indicators (WBI) from 2000 to 2019, across the selected Sub-Saharan African Countries we found that among the mechanism that impact on health, Life expectancy, domestic private health expenditure and health expenditure are among the top opportunities for strengthening public health in SSA countries. The result also, showed that major improvement in health care in most SSA countries is greatly financed by external funding, and domestic private health expenditures. Hence, recommended that legislations may be involved to address the issues of public health care with regards to issues that boarders on accountability on health care facilities procurement among SSA countries. Also, aids intervention towards health care should be evaluated from time to time by the funders to minimize the level of public corrupt practices that will lead to aim not been achieved.
