Resumen

HERRERA TRAVIESO, Delia Mercedes  y  GARCIA FARINAS, Anaí. Economic assessment as necessary supplement for a better assessment of risk management. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.1. ISSN 0864-3466.

The need of integrating the economic evaluations and the risk assessment studies with a view to achieving a better evaluation of the measures suggested by the latter was deeply discussed. To this end, the example of the fixed source of environmental pollution of Suchel Debón Company was used. The implemented changes in this company for the control of the polluting source represented a total direct cost of more than 500 000 Cuban pesos. In this type of situation, it would have been advisable to have an economic evaluation in place, which would have allowed assessing the relationship between these costs and the results in the field of health, considered from both the health sector perspective and the environmental perspective.

Palabras clave : Economic evaluation; risk management; environmental pollution; fixed sources of environmental pollution.
