SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A HEALTH ECONOMICS APPROACH

Marius Ioan Pantea, Delia Gligor

Abstract


This research analyzes the link between health economics and its determinants and sustainable development, emphasizing the significance that quality, equity and accessibility of health services have on the populations’ health, with implications upon the sustainable development of a society. The concept of sustainable development, although widely used, has different meanings, being  an attempt to combine environmental issues with socio-economic issues. Since health effects are one of the driving factors of a society’s economic and sustainable development, this paper discusses current trends in healthcare economics and argues the need and usefulness of economic evaluation in health.  


Keywords
