Global Health
The growing use of HTA and health economics around the world highlights both shared priorities and significant differences across countries. This theme critically examines how health economics and HTA is applied across diverse healthcare systems, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Research Focus
We explore the institutional, political, and economic drivers that shape HE and HTA practices and healthcare decision-making in global contexts. Our research pays close attention to methodological challenges when applying HTA and health economics in settings with limited resources.
Key Projects
Comparative studies of HTA systems in high-income countries and LMICs.

Policy Impact
Our work applies a range of health economic methods and supports the global development of context-appropriate HTA frameworks that promote equitable and evidence-informed healthcare policy.
