Investing in health & human capital

It is increasingly recognised that health has complex but pervasive linkages to individual wellbeing and to the viability of communities across the life cycle. After many decades of medical innovation, powerful knowledge resources are available to further transform population health.

This program forms part of the research by the Victoria Institute of Strategic Economic Studies (VISES). Its focus is on developing and applying better methods for assessing the full economic and social benefits of large-scale programs of health intervention.

We do this for individual countries and across groups of countries, and work with major partners to apply these methods to measure the returns to investment in such interventions.
