Cambridge Public Health

 
Health economics cross-cutting theme

Context

Health Economics is the field of study concerned with how scarce resources are allocated both to and within the health care sector in order to inform equitable and efficient decision making.

Health economics also encompasses the broader determinants of health and the behaviour and interaction of individuals, health care providers (both public and private), governments and society.

What we do

Health economics in Cambridge is growing. This Cambridge Public Health theme is open to all those interested in health and economics in any capacity across the greater Cambridge area and beyond. It includes health economists, epidemiologists, statisticians, health services researchers, clinicians and those simply with an interest in the economics of health and health care.
