Department of Public Health, University of Basel
Health Economics Facility

Health economics and health services research contribute to the efficient use of limited healthcare resources and, thus, to the sustainability and quality of healthcare. Health economics is a key element of strong life sciences research infrastructures, and plays a major role in the sustainable translation of medical research and progress into practice. It bridges gaps between the development of healthcare interventions, clinical research, and program implementation. The Health Economics Facility conducts research projects with a health economic and health services research focus. It functions as key resource for research teams in all departments of the Faculty of Medicine and provides health economic expertise and cooperation possibilities for ongoing or planned projects.
