evidence-based health policy

Evidence-based health policy uses the best available scientific research and data to guide decisions about healthcare and public health initiatives. It ensures policies are effective, efficient, and appropriate by relying on proven results rather than assumptions or opinions. This approach helps policymakers make informed choices that improve health outcomes, allocate resources wisely, and address current health challenges. By systematically integrating research evidence with values and context, evidence-based health policy aims to create sustainable, equitable health systems that serve communities better.
