About JBES
The 'Brazilian Journal of Health Economics (JBES) was created in 2009 with the aim of promoting and disseminating knowledge in the areas of Health Economics, Pharmacoeconomics and Health Technology Assessment. The content of the editions is available in print and electronic formats with quarterly periodicity.
By disseminating the knowledge produced by Health Economics, it is intended to help reduce the negative impacts that may be associated with decision-making processes, such as choices regarding the incorporation of new technologies, treatments and medications. Studies in Health Economics have helped prioritize the most effective medical procedures and have contributed to the development of alternatives that combine economic sustainability criteria with meeting the needs of individuals.
JBES is, therefore, a channel of communication and promotion of articulation between the health industry, regulatory agencies, supplementary health organizations, hospitals, research centers, universities and other institutions interested in the development of studies that explore the interface between economy and health, contributing to the expansion of the population's access to medicines and health services.
