Are you interested in the healthcare sector and curious about the economic foundations and practical implementation of health-related issues? Then Health Economics is the perfect event for you! About The field of health economics has developed in response to the growing demand for analytical specialists within the healthcare sector. As the number of health challenges continues to grow in the future, such as the aging of the population and the rise of highly complex chronic diseases, there is an increased need for economic evaluation and models in the field of healthcare and healthcare spending. Additionally, healthcare must respond to the development of new technologies. This year, we would like to focus on the future of healthcare. How will healthcare remain affordable? And how should we deal with pandemics in the future?
