Health Economics has emerged as a scientific field which apprehends health strategies in their entirety. This is why this discipline naturally combines with Public Health to be at the interface of medicine, biology, mathematical sciences, computer sciences and human and social sciences. Faced with global economic and health crises, the organization of health systems is regularly called into question by the continuous growth in health care spending, the acceleration of therapeutic and technological innovations, and the increase in the life expectancy of the population. This book presents the challenges of health economics as well as the methods and tools of medico-economic evaluation. It is aimed at both health professionals, scientists, economists, student decision-makers, as well as all those passionate about inter-disciplinary approaches to healthcare.
