The new Basel Center for Health Economics (BCHE) aims to harness the vast economic, public health, and life science resources in North Western Switzerland to become a leading center in health economics. Led by Stefan Felder (Faculty of Economics), Günther Fink (Faculty of Economics, Swiss TPH) and Matthias Schwenkglenks (Faculty of Medicine), the BCHE will serve as a local and international networking hub, fostering connections between research, industry leaders, and policy makers. By facilitating collaborations and knowledge exchange, the BCHE will drive innovation and address the most pressing challenges faced by the health sector. Through its research and training programs, the BCHE will actively seek to further build capacity, to contribute to improved healthcare outcomes, and to support the future design of health systems.
