COVID-19 has become the most researched disease outbreak in history. Evidence on the financing, costs and impact of COVID-19 is critical in supporting countries across the world in planning their COVID-19 response.
We have built C19economics.org as a platform to enable, improve and share health economics evidence to inform COVID-related decision making and policies globally, with a focus on low and middle income countries (LMICs).
Functionalities of the platform
-
A repository with pre-identified literature
We screened over 12,000 resources to present you with this living repository of literatures on health economics
-
A news and blogs page
Learn about your colleagues’ views and share your own through this page
-
A methods and tools page with useful external resources
We worked with colleagues to identify a set of resources to support researchers and decision-makers on generating or commissioning new evidence
-
Forum to connect to one another
In addition to our researchers phone book, we have a put together a forum where you can share queries and your experience
