Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of health economic evaluation (HEE) systems in South Korea and Morocco, amid ongoing healthcare reforms. Based on a documentary review, it highlights shared objectives—sustainability and access to innovation—while revealing institutional and methodological divergences. The study identifies four strategic levers from the Korean model: formalization, institutional specialization, technology reassessment, and real-world data. Policy recommendations are proposed to adapt these lessons to the Moroccan context. This work contributes to strengthening HEE policies as tools for spending control and healthcare system regulation.
