A programme costs 30 million and is expected to save 150 lives. Its cost effectiveness is

  • A.4.5 billion per life saved
  • B.150 per million spent
  • C.200 000 per life saved
  • D.5 million per life saved

Answer: C

Dividing the cost by the outcome gives the cost per unit of effectiveness, which can be compared with other life-saving programmes. It cannot say whether 200 000 a life is worth paying, which is the method's limitation.
