The ECORYS Health Team assists public and private decision makers in shaping health (care) systems and markets to country characteristics and public ambitions. Health is universally appreciated but care is often only locally understood. The diversity in national health care systems has evolved historically by answering to changing demands for health care reflecting growth in wealth and opportunities. ECORYS works in transition and developing country contexts as well as within the European Community including our home market, the Netherlands.

Expertise
Our health work can be distinguished into five fields we have expertise in:

Approach
ECORYS combines in-depth research with practical and operational policy advice. We help decision makers understand the complexity of the issues and their complex interrelationships. More particularly, we provide practical solutions to complex problems, supporting evaluation and implementation and enhancing policy debates. Our approaches are subject to high-quality standards to ensure that they are sound.

Clients
Our work has encompassed a wide diversity of recipients from EU level (European Commission, European Investment Bank), central government level (Ministries of Health, Economic Affairs, Foreign Affairs) to international (World Bank, DFID) and national organizations (Netherlands Patient and Consumer Organization, Netherlands Competition Authority, Dutch Investment Bank for Developing Countries, Council for Public Health and Health Care).
