PUBLIC HEALTH FUTURES IN A CHANGING WORLD 2021

PRE-CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
 
EPH Conference 2021 offers an exciting programme of pre-conference on Wednesday 10 November from 9:00–12:40 CET. Sessions will be moderated live with interaction through chat and Q&A. Registration for pre-conferences (€50)  can simply be added to your existing registration.


EUPHA PHE and HTA sections, in collaboration with ASPHER, organize three skills building pre-conferences on economic evaluation. Professionals who want to understand the basics of economic evaluation and its application to health technology assessment and decision making should register for these events. Economic evaluation tools are indispensable instruments in the evaluation of healthcare goods, services and system reforms. These tools are of critical importance in decision-making for developing evidence-informed policies pertaining to all aspects of resource allocation. Such tools provide insights on how to improve efficiency and how to protect equity of both healthcare financing and provision.

Other pre-conferences on current topics as climate change and health, injury prevention, health promotion, migrant health, health care in Germany, public health in Ireland and mental health can be found here.
