Mission
At the Health Economics Research Centre (HERC), founded by the University of Oxford in 1996, our primary objective is to make significant contributions to health and healthcare both in the United Kingdom and worldwide.
Our mission revolves around conducting comprehensive research on the economic dimensions of health and disease. We delve into understanding the costs and benefits associated with prevention and treatment approaches, while also focusing on the design and evaluation of health systems. By pursuing these endeavours, we strive to enhance the understanding and decision-making surrounding health economics, ultimately fostering improved health outcomes for individuals and populations alike.
