Health Economics and Economic Evaluation

Health Economics and Economic Evaluation is a fundamental topic for tertiary students in Zambia enrolled in Health Economics courses. This module introduces core economic principles applied to health and healthcare, including supply and demand, market failures, health financing, and priority-setting. Students will learn to conduct economic evaluations such as cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, and cost-utility analyses to inform resource allocation decisions in resource-constrained settings like Zambia. The topic addresses critical issues such as healthcare financing mechanisms, health insurance markets, and measuring health system efficiency. Proficiency in health economics is essential for optimizing the use of scarce health resources, improving financial protection, and supporting evidence-based health policy. This knowledge is crucial for exam success and for careers in health financing, policy advising, research, and management within Zambia's health sector.
