This May (13th-17th) the Heidelberg Institute of Global Health will be hosting a one-week in-person course entitled, "Applying the Rights Based Approach in Achieving Health Related SDGs". In this course we will be covering the theories and frameworks of Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Goals. We will also delve into access to health and medicines for vulnerable populations (living in remote areas, people with disabilities, people with mental illness, people in detention centers) and investigate the WHO pandemic treaty.

The course is coordinated by myself (Maureen McGowan) and my colleague Dr. Astrid Berner-Rodoreda and will include wonderful lecturers from various institutions (i.e., University of Toronto, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences).

If this course is of interest to you, please feel welcome to visit our website or contact the email below! We hope to see you there!

In this webinar we will introduce the concept of economic evaluation of health interventions and discuss its importance as a tool for policy making with Dr. Francisco Pozo-Martin as panellist. We will also illustrate how to implement an economic evaluation with an example set in the African context.

Francisco Pozo-Martin is a research scientist at the Evidence-based Public Health Unit (ZIG2) in RKI's Centre for International Health Protection. He is a health economist and quantitative health services/ systems researcher with more than 15 years of experience in Global Health research. Among other topics, he has worked on decision analysis models for cancer treatment, economic evaluation of cancer diagnostics and hypertension control interventions, and modelling human resources for maternal health. Recently he has been working on developing and synthesising evidence regarding the effectiveness of public health and social measures against COVID-19.

There will be time for questions after the presentation. Registration is not needed.

The webinar-series has been opened to the broader public health community. The main addressees are the participants of the 2.5-year online and offline training course on applied public health research methods, which aims to develop strategic skills and strengthen networking among researchers working on public health projects in GHPP partner countries.
