Quatrième de couverture

Economics, Medicine and Health Care 3e

This book outlines how economics can assist in the planning, financing and delivery of health care. The book aims to encourage policy makers and planners, as well as those at the sharp end of health care, to understand the merits of using and embracing health economics. With this goal in mind, Economics, Medicine and Health Care introduces simple economic concepts and highlights some of the ways in which economic analysis can contribute to health service policy-making.
