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.

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.
