Health economics is a burgeoning field with growing demand from medical service providers, health insurance companies, and government agencies. Unknowns thus opportunities are abound in the field – requiring scholars to search for answers to questions including: the best healthcare system, payment and incentive, hospital management, chronic disease management, and many others. NCHI Centre for Health Economics provides a platform for health economists within and outside to exchange ideas and develop collaborative research, and to build up capacity to fulfill the needs in this important field.
