Guiding Policy Decisions With Economic & Social Impact Studies
The Health Economics & Policy Research Center (HEPRC) is a driving force behind smarter, evidence-informed decision-making in healthcare. As healthcare systems across Africa face growing pressure from non-communicable diseases, infectious outbreaks, and limited resources, our center provides the economic intelligence needed to prioritize interventions that deliver real impact—efficiently and equitably.
We specialize in analyzing the cost-effectiveness, social impact, and sustainability of health policies, programs, and technologies. By quantifying the economic and societal burden of diseases, we help governments, NGOs, and health institutions allocate resources more effectively and develop long-term strategies that serve both public health and economic resilience.
Our research not only informs budget decisions—it strengthens the case for investing in prevention, access, and innovation. We work closely with policymakers, translating complex data into actionable policies that save lives and protect national economies.
HEPRC is where research meets reality—ensuring that every dollar spent on healthcare delivers maximum benefit, particularly for the communities that need it most.
What We Do
Cost-Effectiveness Studies
We conduct rigorous economic evaluations of healthcare interventions, technologies, and delivery models to determine which offer the greatest health impact for the lowest cost. Our findings guide resource allocation, ensuring that limited budgets achieve the broadest possible benefit for patients and systems.
NCD Burden & Socioeconomic Impact Analysis
We assess how chronic diseases affect national productivity, household income, and healthcare spending. By quantifying direct and indirect costs of NCDs, we help stakeholders understand the true scale of the problem and advocate for investments in prevention and care.
Public Health Policy Engagement
We work alongside governments, think tanks, and international agencies to translate economic data into practical, evidence-based health policies. From setting drug prices to expanding access to care, our policy research drives decisions that balance cost, impact, and equity.
