The economics of global health: an assessment

Abstract

The international community, through the Millennium Development Goals and now the Sustainable Development Goals, has long recognized the critical role of improved global health in achieving social and economic development. This edition of the Oxford Review of Economic Policy explores whether this importance has been mirrored in the field of economics. It does so by bringing together the voices of 28 economists working on widely varying aspects of global health economics to confront three key policy questions: how do we build better, more equitable health systems? how are ‘global commons’ health problems to be overcome? and how might we improve evaluation and priority setting in global health? This assessment considers the degree to which these questions have been answered, and extracts the key thrusts of a research agenda. It suggests that, as in global health itself, while much has been achieved, many challenges and potential achievements await in the field of global health economics.
