PhD in Health Economics

Health economics is an interdisciplinary science that merges the fields of health and economics. It examines the aggregation, allocation, and consumption of scarce resources allocated to the health sector and performs related economic evaluations. This field studies financial structures and cost functions and generally focuses on the optimal allocation and efficiency of available resources. It also emphasizes the engagement of individuals, families, local communities, and national and international levels at all stages, with complete observance of equality and access to health services as a principal component in maintaining and promoting human health.
