Global Health Economics and Sustainability (GHES) is an interdisciplinary forum addressing healthcare sustainability from a global perspective. It involves various stakeholders, including governments, multilateral agencies, academia, and the healthcare industry. GHES aims to meet the needs of both the rapidly developing Global South’s and wealthy OECD nations of the post-industrial Global North. They share challenges like mega scale urbanization, 4.0 industrial revolution, environmental pollution, population aging, and transformation of labour markets, which lead to declining fertility and rising chronic diseases. To combat these issues, GHES promotes sustainable healthcare development, aligning with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. It emphasizes the need to integrate  medical technology administration, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and medical waste management into the environmental goals. GHES also advocates for financial self-sufficiency in publicly funded healthcare systems, promoting digitalization, telemedicine, and the One Health paradigm. Additionally, it raises awareness of the healthcare industry's impact on pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. GHES aims to foster investments in research and innovations in global health economics and sustainable development, becoming a leading platform for international debate on these topics.

The scope of the GHES encompasses a broad range of topics situated at the crossroads of three interdisciplinary fields of Health Economics, Sustainability and Global Health.

Health Economics

Covering topics such as Health Expenditure and Financing, Universal Health Coverage, Health Education, Value-based and Patient-centered Healthcare, Medical Care Delivery, Home-based Care, Budget Impact, Cost Containment, Health Technology Assessment, the focus is on analyzing the cost-effectiveness, health outcomes, and policy impacts through interdisciplinary collaboration in clinical medicine.

Healthcare Sustainability

Focusing on sustainable development goals and the sustainability of health systems, it covers topics such as Climate Change, Access to Clean Water, Pollution, Air Quality, Planetary Health, Circular Supply Chains, Digitization, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Holistic Health, aiming to drive the transformation of healthcare and address global challenges.

Global Health

The research field covers epidemiology, forecasting, focusing on disease burden  across the Global South and North, Population Aging, Noncommunicable and Infectious Diseases, Rural-Urban Migration, Mega Cities, Poverty, Nutrition, Childhood Survival, in order to improve Socioeconomic Welfare  and increase life expectancy.

The GHES journal publishes Original Research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives, Reports, and other editorial content of general interest to wide international audience.
