Health economics applies economic theories of human behaviour, decision-making and outcomes for health. For instance, health economics projects can assess the cost-effectiveness or cost-benefit of certain treatments or interventions, investigate the impact of behavioural changes, or evaluate the wider impact of programmes, among other targets.<\/p>\n

Our health economics projects focus on assessing the impact of improving eye health services, collecting accurate vision-based health economic data and estimating the global cost of vision loss.<\/p>\n

Health economics applies economic theories of human behaviour, decision-making and outcomes for health. For instance, health economics projects can assess the cost-effectiveness or cost-benefit of certain treatments or interventions, investigate the impact of behavioural changes, or evaluate the wider impact of programmes, among other targets.<\/p>\n

Our health economics projects focus on assessing the impact of improving eye health services, collecting accurate vision-based health economic data and estimating the global cost of vision loss.<\/p>\n
