Final report
We believe in three fundamental truths:
- that health and the economy are interdependent;
- that health is in itself a key economic sector and critical to resilience and stability in economies worldwide;
- and that we can channel and shape public and private investments in health to achieve global cooperation towards supranational goals.
Our work will assess, critique, challenge and reimagine the value of health in four major areas:
- Measurement: Valuing and measuring Health for All.
- Capacity: Pathways to Health for All.
- Finance: Investing in Health for All.
- Innovation: Governing Innovation for All.
Our work
"Health for all must be at the heart of government investment and innovation decisions—and it must be governed with the common good in mind. The Council will work to address these many challenges and offer the world a path forward."UCL Professor Mariana Mazzucato, Chair, WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All |
