Programme

Nations always try to provide their people with accessible and high-quality medical care and protect their health. However, the pursuit of economic growth requires the effective management of health systems amidst limited budgets. Today, only a few countries view the health of their citizens, a reduction in risk factors, improved access to medical services, and the strengthening of their public health systems as an economic tool for increasing their long-term well-being. What is the health economy and how is it taking shape in different countries throughout the world? What economic tools and technologies improve people’s quality of life and the well-being of the nation as a whole? What effective practices for funding and investing in healthcare have countries implemented in the changing economic environment? What factors for promoting public health enhance the sustainability of national healthcare systems? What approaches do the public and private healthcare sectors take in their collaboration to effectively manage healthcare and ensure the unconditional accessibility and quality of medical services?
