CHE 40th Birthday Policy Forums: Building a policy-focussed global health economics research programme

Speaker: Paul Revill, CHE

Discussant: Katherina Hauck, Imperial College London

Discussant: Jo Keatinge, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

Over the last decade, CHE has established a research profile in global health economics. Thanzi is one leading programme that has focused on guiding resource allocation in Malawi, Uganda, and the East Central and Southern Africa (ECSA) region. It was the leading case study that led to the University of York being ranked seventh globally for “partnerships for development” in the 2022 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. This talk will reflect upon how economic analysis can guide decisions on health spending reflecting constraints and complexities that exist across health care systems.
