Evaluation of Health Policies

Evaluating health policies involves assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of health-related programs and laws. This process helps determine whether the policies achieve their intended goals, such as improving public health, reducing costs, or ensuring access to care. Evaluators use data to analyze outcomes, gather feedback from stakeholders, and identify areas for improvement. Through this evaluation, policymakers can make informed decisions, adjust strategies, and ultimately enhance the health system for everyone. It’s a critical step to ensure resources are used wisely and health needs are met effectively.
