Research

One of her primary area of research relates to health financing issues in developing countries. She has been involved in systematic reviews of health financing mechanisms and their impact on access to care. She has also participated in different projects in Sub-Saharan Africa to evaluate the impact of financing schemes on equity and health service utilisation.

Her second area of work is around human resources for health, with a particular interest in understanding the impact of various incentives on health workers' behaviours and choices. Within the Consortium for Research on Equitable Health Systems, she was involved in a multi-country cohort study investigating health workers' career paths and their preference for various job characteristics. Within the new Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (RESYST) consortium, she will pursue this work and the use of innovative quantitative methods (Discrete Choice Experiments and experimental economic games).
