How does GDP tend to affect life expectancy and infant mortality rate?

The more GDP the longer the life expectancy because more services like healthcare and hospitals are available so this means people can receive medication, therefore their diseases are cured, thus avoiding death.
As fore Infant Mortality Rate I'm not entirely sure but I think if there is more GDP then there should be reduction in the rate of infant mortality because perhaps the facilities/ services of healthcare will educate people about protection and such.
