The Council on the Economics of Health For All was established on 13 November 2020 by the WHO Director-General to rethink how value in health and wellbeing is measured, produced, and distributed across the economy.
We believe in three fundamental truths:
- that health and the economy are interdependent;
- that health is in itself a key economic sector and critical to resilience and stability in economies worldwide;
- and that we can channel and shape public and private investments in health to achieve global cooperation towards supranational goals.
- Our work will assess, critique, challenge and reimagine the value of health in four major areas:
- Measurement: Valuing and measuring Health for All.
- Capacity: Pathways to Health for All.
- Finance: Investing in Health for All.
- Innovation: Governing Innovation for All.
