Welcome to the June Issue of the Health Economics Unit Newsletter 2020
Greetings from all of us in the Health Economics Unit (HEU) to all our colleagues in Australia and around the world! The June Issue of the Health Economics Unit Newsletter 2020 is now available online. In this newsletter we highlight some of our recent achievements and the exciting programme of work we have planned for the coming year. The last six months have brought unexpected challenges - but have also been exceptionally productive for us as a team. HEU has taken on a number of COVID-19 projects in recent months. We have had some very significant ‘wins’ in research grants, which will allow us to push forward health economics research in areas of importance to the Australian health care system. And we are publishing more than ever, in high impact journals. To find out more, please read the newsletter here . Here are some of the highlights:
