Politics, Ethics and Health Economics
Hardly a week goes by without some new debates about health production and resource allocation and its public policies (governance, financing). Questions about the right definition of health, about the legitimate scope of public policies pertaining to health or about the pros and cons of making a matter of personal responsability some elements of service provision are all hugely controversial. These issues in Health Ethics, Politics and Economics will be the main focus of the course.
