Health Programs

A wholesale restructuring of healthcare systems will be necessary over the next ten years, including measures to expand access to healthcare, to focus on primary care and prevention, and to manage chronic conditions. These reforms can be achieved by giving local communities more control over their healthcare, by using mobile technologies, and by committing countries to a form of universal healthcare coverage.
BASIC HEALTH ECONOMICS
COURSE OVERVIEW

In every country (and many sub-national structures such as states and provinces), health economics plays, or should play, an important role in policy and operational decisions.

These decisions include:
  1. The appropriate role of government, markets, and the private sector in the health sector
  2. Resource allocation and mobilization that affect the equity and efficiency of public spending on health
  3. Resource transfer mechanisms to hospitals and health care providers and the incentive systems that underlie them
  4. Health system organizational structures and the linkages between the levels
  5. Health facility organizational structures
  6. Mechanisms to change behaviors of the population and health system providers in order to achieve better health.

Health economists can contribute to better decision making. Most economists train through university degree programs. But there are also short- and medium-term training needs. Furthermore, health economists, even when they exist and are well trained, are not always part of decision making in ministries of health. A clear need exists to train and empower policy and operational decision makers on how health economics can help make health systems more effective, efficient, and equitable.
