CCHO – Access to Medicine

Giving Back to the Ecosystem

Collaboration is one of our four pillars. Beyond our day-to-day projects, we invest in the people and the evidence that healthcare decisions in the Middle East and North Africa depend on: training the next generation of HEOR professionals with the region’s universities, and building local reference data such as EQ-5D value sets.
