PRICELESS SA applies economic evaluation methodologies that are context-specific, and which can assist in informing budget allocation decisions.
Resources in any country are always finite, and the public purse needs to be used to maximum effect. Tough choices have to be made about which health interventions to fund – or not to fund. The challenge applies to all countries, including high-income countries, but it is especially acute in settings like ours where resources are more constrained. Economic evaluation measures the costs and impacts of health interventions.
