<abstract displayLabel="Summary">This paper explores philosophical and ethical perspectives on valuing health, emphasizing its intrinsic and instrumental roles in wellbeing, productivity, and justice. It critiques the limitations of monetizing health benefits through benefitcost analysis and highlights alternative metrics like QALYs, DALYs, equivalent income, and WELLBYs. The author argues for integrating health into broader wellbeing measures and adopting lifetime perspectives in policy evaluation. Health should be recognized as a fundamental component of wellbeing, requiring methodological innovation and consensus on definitions to guide policies toward equity and sustainable progress.</abstract>
