    The field of political economics in health has a significant and far-reaching impact on public health. It encompasses a diverse range of interconnected domains, including the economy, welfare, the environment, food and drug safety, pollution emissions, occupational safety, the quality of medical services, consumer rights, public health policy, healthcare policy, scientific research, and marketing management. In this review, we examine the global influence of political economics on health outcomes and delineate the impact of prevalent neurosurgical conditions on individual and collective healthcare resources. This review will examine the impact of political and economic factors on the prevalence and treatment of neurosurgical diseases, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), and brain malignant tumours. Furthermore, the current challenges and future directions will be discussed. It is our intention that this review will facilitate the exchange and integration of political economics, public health, and neurosurgery, provide a foundation for policy development, enhance the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurosurgical diseases, and ultimately promote public health.
