The Economics of Survival

A Discussion on the Role of Health Policy, Environmental Policy, and Economic Policy in Healthcare Decision Making

If healthcare systems were a country, they would collectively be the 5th largest emitter of greenhouse gases globally. Healthcare decision makers are already grappling with increased demand for healthcare, and highly constrained budgets. However, unless we act immediately the climate emergency will quickly supersede both challenges. As with public health policy, environmental policy is highly influenced by economic decision makers.

On the 8th of November, Richard Charter, Vice President MedTech Market Access – Europe & Asia Pacific of Alira Health, has moderated the spotlight session “The Economics of Survival: A Discussion on the Role of Health Policy, Environmental Policy, & Economic Policy in Healthcare Decision Making” at ISPOR EU 2022 aimed at discussion how to enable more sustainable healthcare systems.
