1. I am Bonaventure HABINEZA, a Medical laboratory scientist working at RBC/NCBT

I did not study Economics before , except in Secondary School ordinary level.

2. As Economy is important in different areas,the health sector also needs the economy and as all we know any activity to be done in health sector as well as other sectors requires planning and in the planning process Budget plan is a key activity, because if no budget activities cannot be processed. So, health economics is very important in health sector in an efficient and effective way. There is always supply and demand in health system that is why health economics is very important.

3. With COVID-19, Health Economics is disturbed as well as in other areas of public health and clinical health; It will be a worldwide crisis in health Economics and as all countries are affected with this COVID-19 Pandemic on my behalf ,each country will fight for itself to manage the problem caused by the pandemic. International cooperation based on the help coming from other countries will be an issue as all countries have been affected. so, it will be a long way to solve the problem caused by COVID-19 in health Economics. But, even though all countries are affected the best way is that all countries can work together to manage the issue and international cooperation will help.

Budget plan and miss-management of medicines for example, in some Health Institutions where you can have expired drugs bought but not used due to may be poor management or making requisitions beyond the need or demand . . . or lack of communication btn neighboring healthcare facilities which may exchange drugs probably!
