ISPOR Investigates HEOR Research in LMICs with New Report

In a newly released report, ISPOR breaks down the state of health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The report, entitled “Advancing HEOR in Low- and Middle-Income Countries” covers the need to better implement HEOR research in LMICs and ways to do so that will advance healthcare decision-making and patient outcomes.

According to Newswise, “ISPOR has a strong commitment to the advancement of HEOR in LMICs. More than 20% of the Society’s members, 65% of ISPOR regional chapters, and 35% of ISPOR student chapters are in LMICs. The report notes that LMICs face unique healthcare system challenges, ‘including limited resources for healthcare, gaps in human and infrastructure capacity, often fragmented systems, and growing burden of disease.’”
