Health Governance

Growing health inequalities, rising healthcare costs, an ageing population and a shortage of healthcare personnel are just a few of the many challenges healthcare faces, in the Netherlands and internationally. To tackle these challenges an interdisciplinary approach is required by combining knowledge about healthcare with governance, management and social sciences.

That is why the Institute of Public Administration and the LUMC Campus The Hague are increasingly collaborating on research at the interface of care and governance. This is done in various ways, for example from the Population Health interdisciplinary programm of Leiden University, but also on other themes such as value-based health care, accountability and health inequalities.
