Health Economics

Global health and public health practitioners use Health Economics to better understand the decisions that get made that affect health. Calculating the DALYs averted or QALYs gained for per dollar spent, for example, can help NGOs and Governments decide which health interventions to invest in. These sorts of cost utility and cost effectiveness (economic evaluations) help with decision making.

'Health Economics information is at its most powerful when it is combined with Epidemiological data' - Very well said, good sir.

Thank you for the video. I loved the pace and energy you put into health economics. I will view more

[mohemmedansari]

Your definition of economics made me start looking at decision making in new perspective.

5 min is a short time to go in details... so disclaimer and warning helped. But surely covered lot of ground.

Love your videos Greg, and the warning at the start of this one is hilarious!

[daffydkendle]

Thank you. This is a great fun way to learn about Health Systems and grasp the key concepts quickly, especially enjoyed watching it with music . It is quick paced and because of the way I learn Ill play it through another couple of times to really get it.
As for the learning message - If only health systems working in practice were this simple ! After 30 years as a registered nurse my biggest diagnosis for effective health systems and services is good effective communication at all levels and forms of interaction. Keep on keepin on the good communication that you are effecting and may your helpful information reach all the places its needed in goodly time please God.

Another clearer and simple video on health economics by Greg. Thank you so much. Just a suggestion, a note about elasticity in the demand supply curve would be beneficial for all. I am looking forward for your next video on health policy☺

[pattyjannet]

Martin, Congratulations it is an excellent video, clear messages, making health economics easy for everybody!

[stephane]

Dr. Martin, this was a great video and I love the connection you made between global health and how health practitioners can use it as a tool to improve the quality of life of individuals. I look forward to hearing the video on health policy and also provide resources that students can use for project ideas, policies, research etc. It is important that we incorporate economic concepts (e.g., cost-effective analysis) in the projects public health practitioners wish to undertake.

Using circular flow of income model describe (diagrammatically as well as
intuitively) the health care sector of India. Specify the goods/services and factors
in your model. How will the addition of Government alter your model? Can anyone answer this for me

[ajneusy]

Hi Greg. You are a great communicator with the knack to explain complicated issues and systems in a simpler way to comprehend. This series is needed to bring common sense in a pontificating world. Congratulations
