Abstract
Policy decisions in healthcare inherently involve value choices, but these are rarely made explicit. As a health economist participating in policy debates, I have become increasingly concerned about the profession’s implicit values and began to explore – through a PhD in theology – what a theologically informed basis for health economics, and healthcare funding in particular, might comprise. The result is articulation of a set of principles derived from the parable of the ‘Good’ Samaritan – compassion, social justice and stewardship.
