This lecture is part of a series of foundations-level training resources, which offer a comprehensive introduction to specific methods, concepts and tools used in health economics practice. The training has been designed for anyone new to the field, or already working in LMIC health decision-making settings, wishing to gain a deeper insight and understanding into policy evaluation in LMICs. You will not necessarily require any former training or experience in health economics to watch this lecture, however a basic understanding of economics and/ or health economics principles would be beneficial.
Should you wish to gain a deeper insight into the basic principles of health economics methods and how they have been applied in real-world settings before completing this training, please take some time to watch the following lectures first: Introduction to Health Economics and Economic Evaluation Methods.
