Political Economy of Health SIG

The political economy of health deals with the political and economic determinants of population health including both the promotive influences and the risks. It deals also with the public health strategies required to engage with those determinants, to cultivate the promotive relations and to manage the risks. The PEH SIG of PHAA provides a space for sharing, support and learning for PHAA members with an interest in the political economy of health. The PEH SIG contributes to PHAA's policy development and advocacy in relation to public health issues where a political economy perspective can add value.
