A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Foundations of health economics

Foundations of health economics introduces the core economic principles applied to the health sector, such as scarcity, demand and supply, public goods, externalities, and cost‑benefit analysis. Mastering these concepts is essential for analysing how health resources are allocated, why markets may fail in health, and how policy can improve welfare.
