Health Empirics is an international double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Indian Health Economics and Policy Association (IHEPA). Our mission is to bridge the gap between empirical research and practical policy applications by publishing high-quality studies that inform decision-making and improve health outcomes globally. The journal serves as a critical nexus for interdisciplinary dialogue, connecting researchers, policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and other stakeholders committed to strengthening health systems through robust analytical approaches. With an international scope and perspective, Health Empirics welcomes contributions that address health challenges in diverse contexts, from high-income to low- and middle-income settings.
