Health Economics Research 

Well-being, resilience, prosperity: health is not a cost, it’s an investment. Yet all too often discussions on healthcare systems fail to recognize the value of a healthy population – for citizens, societies, and economies. Our health economics research is shifting the paradigm towards seeing health for what it really is: an investment.

The United Nations has set 17 Sustainable Development Goals on its 2030 Agenda. From ending poverty to building resilient infrastructures, achieving each of these goals is contingent on the advancement of global health systems. WifOR strives to empower business, politics, and society to make evidence-based decisions on health using empirical and comparable data.

Health Economics Research: WifOR’s Approach

Hatice Küçük Beton
Executive Director The G20 Health & Development Partnership
The insight provided by WifOR has been hugely helpful for our research and advocacy, informing our advocacy work on health metrics and financing. WifOR has strengthened the tools we can use to shift the paradigm of viewing health as a cost, to seeing it as an investment.
Cristobal Thompson
Executive Director AMIIF
I have learned a lot from the WifOR Institute over the years, especially in how to look at health investments in a holistic way.
Claire Skentelbery
Director General EuropaBio
EuropaBio worked with WifOR to establish economic indicators for biotechnology and it was an excellent process of research and industry-oriented outcomes.  It is a valuable part of our work to represent biotechnology in Europe.
