Public Health Policy, Governance & Health Economics

This session delves into the critical frameworks, decision-making processes, and economic principles that shape effective public health systems. As global health challenges grow more complex, the role of robust policies, strong governance structures, and sustainable financing models has become increasingly essential. Key themes include policy development and evaluation, regulatory mechanisms, health system leadership, and cross-sectoral collaboration that supports equitable and evidence-based public health actions. The session also highlights the fundamentals of health economics, including cost-effectiveness analysis, resource allocation, health financing, and strategies for maximizing the impact of limited public health budgets. Participants will explore case studies on policy implementation, governance innovations, universal health coverage strategies, and economic models that improve health outcomes at the population level. By the end of the session, attendees will gain deeper insights into strengthening health systems through informed policymaking, accountable governance, and efficient economic planning.
