Funder

The On-Call Facility for International Healthcare Comparisons is funded by the Department of Health. Outputs, however, reflect the views of the authors and not necessarily those of the Department of Health.

Partners

Experts in 13 countries form the International Healthcare Comparisons Network. They contribute to the project by sharing experience of health policy developments, policy evaluations and indications of new policy thinking in their countries. The project also benefits from close cooperation with the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies
