Abstract:
This paper deals with three issues concerning economic valuation in global health. First, we argue that the economic value of health delivery in resource-limited settings is not fully captured through the adding up of successive assessments of individual interventions. Second, we suggest that economic valuations can be used to identify social barriers to the success of health technologies in resource-limited settings. Third, we briefly discuss new directions for research on economic valuations given the interdependency between poor health and economic impoverishment.
