Economic evaluation in healthcare refers to the systematic process of comparing the costs and outcomes of different healthcare interventions, programmes, or policies to determine their efficiency and value. It is an important component of health economics because healthcare resources are limited, while the demand for healthcare services continues to increase. Economic evaluation helps policymakers, healthcare providers, and organizations make rational decisions about the allocation of scarce resources to achieve maximum health benefits. The basic concept of economic evaluation involves identifying, measuring, valuing, and comparing both the costs and consequences of alternative healthcare options. Costs may include direct medical expenses such as hospital services, medicines, diagnostic tests, and healthcare staff, as well as indirect costs such as productivity losses due to illness. The outcomes may be measured in terms of health improvements, lives saved, quality of life gained, or other relevant health indicators. By comparing costs and outcomes, economic evaluation provides evidence for selecting interventions that offer the greatest benefits relative to their expenses. There are different types of economic evaluation methods used in healthcare, including cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-benefit analysis, cost-utility analysis, and cost-minimization analysis. Among these, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-benefit analysis are widely used for healthcare decision-making. Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) compares the costs of healthcare interventions with their outcomes measured in natural health units, such as years of life saved, cases prevented, or
