Management & Economics

Health economics is one of the new academic fields. Despite the importance of the economic approach to all issues, life and health have special conditions that require a special orientation of economics to deal with this issue in a special way. The new health economics course has opened its place in advanced countries and has become more important in our country, which is facing many economic needs and limitations. Because of this importance, every year a number of talented people migrate to study in this field. But this number is very small compared to the countrys needs, and currency restrictions not only prevent its expansion, but also justify finding ways to reduce migration trend. In addition, the problems in the health care organizations and health care centers, and the lack of economic knowledge among the managers of this sector have increased the need for this expertise. The following factors can generally be mentioned as reasons for the necessity of holding this course:

1. There is a strong need in the countrys healthcare sector for health economics specialists
2. Existence of suitable labor market in other sectors such as insurances and planning organizations
3. The necessity of transferring and localizing new knowledge in the country
4. The attention of national programs and policies to the economize of activities and the need for necessary specialists
5. There are many applicants to continue their studies abroad
