The Italian Health Economics Association invites scholars to submit contributions investigating the current global health emergency and its impact on healthcare systems.
As the emergency spreads across the globe, health systems are facing enormous pressure to both manage COVID-19 patients and maintain essential services. Hit by unprecedent stress test, the systems need to ensure they have well-functioning plans to deal with the advancing outbreak, including provisions for increased numbers of staff, hospital beds, and supplies. As these challenges grow, governments and policymakers are calling for clear and comparable health systems evidence to inform their policies and to strengthen their capacity to respond to this unprecedented crisis.
These unprecedented times offer a unique occasion for scholars to investigate strengths and weaknesses of different systems and policy responses.
