Wija Oortwijn PhD

Wija Oortwijn assistant professor

My main research interest concerns how to deliver meaningful and relevant health technology assessment, with a focus on priority setting and resource allocation. Health systems around the globe wish to maintain high quality, innovative, and sustainable health care while managing health care budgets, safeguarding equity, access and choice. This raises questions such as: Which health interventions should get priority? Who has access to the health intervention? On the basis of what criteria? Whose views and values should be taken into account? I have a drive to contribute to possible solutions to make resource allocation decisions more transparent and publicly legitimate.
