ECONOMIC EVALUATION FOR HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
Economic Evaluation is integral to Health Technology Assessment (HTA), which encompasses medical, social, economic, and ethical considerations. Central to HTA, economic evaluation assesses costs, measures health benefits, and performs comparative analyses to inform policy decisions and address allocative efficiency. This course on health economics aims to equip professionals with the skills to navigate these complex challenges and make informed resource allocation decisions, thereby maximizing health benefits.
