Question

How does health help in economic development?

Answer 1

Healthcare performance is strongly dependent on the economy, but also on thehealth systems themselves. This link should not be underestimated.Investment in health is not only a desirable,but also an essential priority for most societies. However, our health systems face tough and complex challenges, in partderived from new pressures, such as ageing populations, growing prevalence of chronic illnesses, and intensive use of expensive yet vital health technologies.Moreover, we must deal with higher expectations of citizens and resolve persistent inequities in access and in health conditions among different groups. Little wonder that the issue of how to ensure the financial sustainability of healthsystems, while making a positive contribution to macroeconomic performance, has moved to the top of the policy agenda across the OECD area. Muchof the work undertaken in the OECD Health Project has aimed at providing policymakers with the evidence they need to promote more value for money in the health sector, while ensuring universal access, equity and raising quality of care. We have learned a lot, though there is more to discover.
