Event History
This year will mark the fourth edition of the MEED Research Forum. Our goal is to facilitate the development of methods for economic evaluations (and related studies) of diagnostics and tests by bringing together health economists actively involved in this research area. This year's research forum will take place as a virtual webinar, featuring a series of research presentations and a panel discussion.
