Home

Welcome to the Global Health Economics Hub. We are a community of international health researchers working to support health economics research capability and its use within policy in lower-income settings. The Hub was initially established in 2020 under the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) funded Thanzi la Onse (Health of All) project. The Hub is now managed as part of the Thanzi Programme, a community of researchers, policy-makers, students and research support professionals, who deliver research designed to inform improved resource allocation and financing of health in the East, Central, Southern and West Africa Regions. Working closely with the East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community, Global Health Economics offers educational and training materials for anyone with an interest in the field of health economics. For more information, please see About us.
