At the Health Economics Unit we believe that the valuable work that we do should be shared, for others to learn from and build upon. That’s why we regularly submit our outstanding work to peer-reviewed publications.
We are also passionate about analytics and health economics and the impact they have in healthcare, which is often overlooked, so we share our advocacy whenever we get the opportunity.
On this page you can find examples of publications that our passionate team have contributed to.
