Division Identifying existing modelling tools and their use to face existing and emerging threats
United Kingdom
Expanding the knowledge on how to use existing modelling tools in MS is an important issue to address at the European level for the purpose of:
-
effectively measuring cost-effectiveness of policies such as their implementation and the impact assessment of new vaccines and other preventative measures,
-
impact assessment of diseases,
-
consequences of climate change in the health sector,
-
supporting decision-making (potential impact of specific measures such as social distancing).
