Cost Effectiveness
A market in Tigrai, Ethiopia. The Bixby Center researches the role of the private sector inprivate sector in meeting the health care needs of low income populations
The health problems facing the world are enormous, yet global public health has severely limited resources. Under these conditions research into cost effectiveness is important to prioritize interventions and influence policy change. The Bixby Center conducts research to identify cost-effective ways to have significant improvements in health in developing countries on a large scale. We focus on cost effectiveness of maternal health and family planning innovations with particular interest in the role of the private sector in meeting the health care needs of low income populations.
