Valuing Health Related Quality of Life in Morocco: An EQ-5D-3L Value set
In Low-middle Income countries (LMIC) such as Morocco, operating with scarce resources under budget constraints, affordability remains a key concern to access innovative health technologies. Economic evaluations to inform decisions about allocation of health resources are not widely used in Morocco. This is partly due to the lack of country-specific utility weights, which are necessary to derive appropriate Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) that are used in these economic evaluations. The EQ-5D-3L has been previously translated in local dialect and is widely used in local studies. The objective of this study was to develop a value set for the EQ-5D-3L using preferences of the Moroccan general population for use in local economic assessments.
