PH 213: Health Economics for Public Health


Units: 4

Because resources are limited and time is short, choices must be made about how to allocate resources in health care. An understanding of the principles of health economics is useful for many areas of public health and clinical decision making because they can be used to provide information on what people value, whether health care initiatives represent ‘good value for money’, and for understand health policy and how the structure of the health system impacts our health and well-being.
