Despite the increasing demand for trained health economists in low and middle-income countries, there are only a few opportunities for senior people who cannot leave their positions for a year or more. This eight week intensive course is uniquely designed for health managers and researchers working in these countries or those who want to specialize in health economics.
This course aims to provide state of the art knowledge on the principles of health economics including lessons learned and best practices from country experience and to equip policy-makers, planners, doctors, and managers with a set of analytical tools based on economic principles. These tools will be used to examine the practical problems facing participants in their work. These include decisions about how to allocate and spend funds, techniques for service planning, policy development, evaluating and prioritizing projects, issues of sustainability, dealing with donor and non-governmental agencies, and regulating private providers. Each issue dealt with will be related to its impact on health sector goals.
