Why OECD Work on Health Policy Matters
The OECD work on health provides governments with policy advice to address urgent health challenges and improve long-term resilience of health care systems. Its work on health is also influential at international level, including at WHO. The OECD fosters high-performing health systems by measuring health outcomes and use of resources as well as by analyzing policies that improve access, efficiency and quality of health care.

How Business Engages with the OECD on Health Policy
Our Health Committee represents various industries including biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, information systems, food and beverages, sports, and private hospitals. It actively contributes to the OECD’s health agenda by providing expertise and participating in expert groups. The committee holds bi-annual meetings, organizes regular conference calls, and hosts an annual Health Forum. These efforts aim to present industry priorities, engage with stakeholders, and identify policy solutions in the field of health.
