Message
I am a social scientist working in health policy and systems research. My contribution to global health aims to inform and inspire the development of timely, sustainable, and equitable health policy and programmes, with a focus on access to care for the underserved population groups and the use/impact of new technologies such as health wearables and rapid diagnostic tests. I am also involved in a number of projects to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the health systems in LMICs. I offer supervision to doctoral and masters students, especially those who are interested in health and development in East and Southeast Asia.
