The European Journal of Health Economics is a journal of Health Economics and associated disciplines.

The growing demand for health economics and the introduction of new guidelines in various European countries were the motivation to generate a highly scientific and at the same time practice oriented journal considering the requirements of various health care systems in Europe.
