As part of strengthening the role of research in shaping national policies, Dr. Omar Al-Rashdan, representing the Middle East Center for Health Economics and Social Policy (MEHS) at Middle East University, presented a recent analytical study at the Second Pharmaceutical Security Conference in Jordan under the theme “Efficient Use and Rational Spending.”
The study highlighted the impact of health expenditure on Jordan’s economic growth, using advanced artificial intelligence techniques to analyze influencing factors and compare them with high-income countries. Results showed that Jordan’s economic growth is primarily affected by exports and demographic health-related factors, such as population size and life expectancy, while the effect of health spending on GDP was limited.
Al-Rashdan emphasized that achieving efficiency in health financing requires integrating Health Technology Assessment (HTA) into decision-making processes, describing it as a national necessity rather than an optional advisory tool.
He concluded by noting that this approach aligns with Jordan 2033 objectives, aiming to enhance public spending efficiency and ensure sustainability of health and social services, highlighting investment in human capital as a fundamental pillar for building a sustainable economy.
