For me both. because economy will provide us money. Without money we cannot provide health. Good health can help us to work hard.

Healthcare performance is strongly dependent on the economy, but also on the health systems themselves. This link should not be underestimated.
Investment in health is not only a desirable, but also an essential priority for most societies. However, our health systems face tough and complex challenges, in part derived from new pressures, such as ageing populations, growing prevalence of chronic illnesses, and intensive use of expensive yet vital health technologies.
Moreover, we must deal with higher expectations of citizens and resolve persistent inequities in access and in health conditions among different groups. Little wonder that the issue of how to ensure the financial sustainability of health systems, while making a positive contribution to macroeconomic performance, has moved to the top of the policy agenda across the OECD area. Much of the work undertaken in the OECD Health Project has aimed at providing policymakers with the evidence they need to promote more value for money in the health sector, while ensuring universal access, equity and raising quality of care. We have learned a lot, though there is more to discover.
A basic message has emerged: investments in health and the design of health financing policies should be addressed in terms of the interaction between health and the economy. Just as growth, income, investment and employment are a function of the performance and quality of the economic system, its regulatory frameworks, trade policies, social capital and labour markets, etc, so health conditions (mortality, morbidity, disability) depend not just on standards of living, but on the actual performance of health systems themselves. Let us go over some of these interactions.

Health economics is a branch of economics concerned with issues related to efficiency, effectiveness, value and behavior in the production and consumption of health and healthcare. Health economics is important in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions between individuals, healthcare providers and clinical settings.[2] In broad terms, health economists study the functioning of healthcare systems and health-affecting behaviors such as smoking, diabetes, and obesity.
both economy and health are important and interrelated factors in a person's life and society as a whole. A strong economy can provide people with better access to healthcare, education, and other resources that contribute to good health. On the other hand, good health is essential for individuals to be productive and contribute to a strong economy.
In times of crisis, such as a pandemic or economic downturn, the balance between these two factors can become more challenging. Ultimately, the importance of each depends on the context and the specific situation at hand. It is up to policymakers and individuals to make informed decisions that balance the needs of both the economy and health
